I am a bit confused on the fishing for the national forest. I copied and pasted from the .gov site and does it mean no treble hooks at all? The wife and I are going next week to Gatlinburg and she has to work the first few days so I am looking at going fishing for smallies at the west part of the little river and possibly Metcalf Bottoms so far and possibly Douglas lake if I can find a decent place to fish off the bank which I have been looking around inspiration point off hwy 92. Any help would be appreciated, I sure dont want to get hassled for something I'm not even fishing with and just because it is in the tackle box. Thanks in advance, Scott
