I have fished the area for a long time. I will suggest a few things. 1. Waders. You will catch more fish if you can actually get in the water. 2. Find some Delayed Harvest water. If you just want to catch fish, Delayed Harvest is your ticket. If you are looking for a real challenge, go up into the SMNP and fish small streams for stream bred brookies. Really great video though. Welcome to the tribe!
Alan Grant thanks my man! I have picked up some waders since then. Definitely a good buy. And Ill check those waters out next time I’m in the area. Thanks!!
@@driftlinemedia if you want to reach out next time you're here, I'll show you some good spots and techniques. I'll even share my trout recipes with you. I enjoyed your video
Respect the slime on the fish by handling as little as possible. Thanks for the video!
Great cinematography and brook trout! I really enjoyed the video. High Five!
Fishiki Fly Fishing thanks so much!
Love this video! I Really Hope to start fly fishing to have moments like these. The water speaks to us all!
my home waters! great video! glad you had a blast!
Absolutely love everything about this video! Thank you for making it! Captures the moment- I felt like I was there....
Thanks for watching! Glad you felt that way, it was fun making this trip into a good story line!
Awesome video........
great video I truly enjoyed watching that on this cold windy February day
Very beautiful footage.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
good one 👍
nicely done
oh my god this is a paradise!!
Great video, welcome to the world of fly fishing. The world of fly fishing is a big world with endless amounts of info. Try to keep the fish in the water, and wet your hands before touching them. Cheers!
Such a great video and storyline, very well done.
Thank you so much for the support!!!
Great video! Might want to start being a little more gentle on those Brookies.
Hunter Banks... the most expensive fly shop in the mountains, oh, and ask about their point system, they still own me.
K G lol I didn’t think it was bad at all.
@@driftlinemedia about 5 years ago you could buy flies for under $1.50,. Good luck with that today. Nymphs go for $2 plus in most cases.
@@driftlinemedia other than that, they are friendly people
Those were some beautiful fish
First of all Great Video! This is actually the 2nd time I've watched it and it was so good i wanted to watch it agian! But also i wanted to see if you could tell me a little about your fly rod. I want a pretty good fly rod that will hold up but don't want to spend a lot of money.
Thank you so much man!! Means a lot to me! My fly rod is a piscifun sword 4 piece 9ft 5wt. It cost me around $45 (which is a steal) and I really enjoy it. Thinking of picking up another one soon!
Woodsman Outdoors Thank you so much! That helps a lot!
The most beautyfull thing on youtube.
Very enjoyable video! Tight lines.

Thanks so much james!
Good video bro!!
Thank You!!!
Beautiful video!
Great video
I need to know where you where fishing 😂I live below Nashville TN and trying to catch some wild trout in the smokeys
I live north of Nashville. Can't wait to fly fish in the Smokies
Great video! I fish the Smokies about twice a year both on the TN and NC side. Those are some very impressive brookies, are they stocked where you fished?
Evan Wasilewski thanks! Yes this river is stocked. There’s a healthy mix of native and stocked however.
Everything in the video looked like a stocker. Deformed (pushed in) upper mouth, chewed up fins, lack of color. Missing fin. What's the deal in the smokies? Are there just few steams w native brookies? I know there's good brown fishing, and some "wild" brown streams.
Deenihan18 no streams inside the park are stocked. Some stockers may find their way upstream though. There are PLENTY of native brookies...just gotta find them and trick em. Looks like the video was mostly catching outside the park.
@@Deenihan18 There are a ton of streams with native brookies, but you won't find them in the lower elevation streams. They like high elevation and really cold water year-round. If you're interested, send me a message and I'll tell you where you can go catch a load of them.
@@driftlinemedia If they were stocked then you did not fish in the GSMNP.
You really need to change the title. That's not in the Great Smoky Mountains NP , your in stock waters. You need to try the park, it's a lot more fun.
If you're catching that many fish, try different techniques just for the practice. Drift a dry over the spot where all those fish are laying, you're bound to get some rises.
Brian Kelly absolutely agree. If I could go back and do it again I would 100% try a bunch of different setups.
How do you find these streams in the park? Do most rivers in the park have trout?
Look at a map to find streams inside the park. Or search online “smoky mountain national park fly fishing” and you’ll see a list of streams and rivers. This stream was not inside the park however, I went to a fly shop and asked about some other options. Fly fishing inside the park is extremely difficult because a lot of the trout are native and are very skeptical. Most rivers do have trout, even across the whole state. Hope this helps!!
@@driftlinemedia Absolutely great work! Here are my FREE downloads of Southern Appalachian maps, with species locators, of streams both in- and outside the park: www.creekmaps.com. Hope everyone enjoys! Also, please support the Fly Fishing Museum - SA, www.flyfishingmuseum.org and all its sponsors, one of which I am honored to be!
Were you using any spilt shot on your leader and was your indicator very far up from your flies?
No split shots. Just a bead head on the squirmy wormy. And the indicator was about a foot above the flies.
Just tail them, don't let them slide thru your hands and lose their slime.
What flies were you using? I will be there in August and any tips or pointers would help.
I was using a high low rig with a San Juan worm up top and a girdle bug on the bottom. Worm was a size 12 and the girdle bug was a size 10. Good luck on your trip, this is one of my favorite places!!
Thanks
What bait were you using. Headed there fishing in a month
Larry Sossamon check local fly shops to see what they’re munchin on for sure. Flies change season to season but I’d say stoneflies would work really well.
Was this private water or was it a public river outside the park?
Ian Wright public waters outside the park.
Good
fish casting upstream. the fish are less likely to see you
next simms or yeti videographer
my boi you are the man! Thanks!!!
Those poor trout probably all died because of improper handling. SMFH.
I will admit this was the first year I had started trout fishing. My handling was not the best. Thankfully I've learned since how to handle fish with care and protect them! Thanks for your comment, maybe next time try to inform others when you see mistakes instead of how you chose to respond!
@@driftlinemedia You're right, I apologize. Happy fishing.
