8" trophy with pics

[Buzzard Breath]

For those of you lesser men who will probably never catch a 30 pound trout, the mountain streams have been fishing great lately. I caught this trophy and about another dozen or more of his brothers and sisters in about an hour and a half last night, and I still missed far more fish than I caught.

I laughed and carried on after catching each one. Little yellow sallies were coming off all evening with bucket loads of them hatching right at 8:30. Have fun out there, because that's what it's about.

Too many will never understand the skill it took to catch that fish.

I've been studying the tools and techniques of Buck McNealy since I was in highschool.

For some reason they outlawed it in the park. I'll never understand why they make some laws.

I love the color on those fish up there, they pull a lot better than hatchery fish too.

Since your from Maryville, you have alot of options, were you fishing the park or Tellico tribs? I love the small creeks in Tellico but haven't fished them since the drought. Would be interested to know how they are doing...

Good to hear this. (see below)

I've been fishing the park lately. I normally start fishing down in the Citico and Tellico area when the tourists start showing up at the park. I did fish Doublecamp about a month to 6 weeks ago and didn't get a fish. I might have had 1 weak rise, but it might have been a chub. I camp along it during the deer/hog hunts and it got awful warm and low during the drought.

Edit; Catchdawg, I should have read my emails before posting. A buddy spent Sat & Sun fishing some small tribs around Tellico and said the fishing was great. He didn't think the drought affected the fish as bad as he expected.
