All the streams in the park are getting to be a little low. Alan and I sneaked out of the office yesterday to the high elevations of the park along Walkers Camp Prong and later to upper Little River. I made a few cast from the bank without wading. I had a hard time seeing my size 16 Little Yellow Quill fly when it was… Read More »Great Smoky Mountains Fly Fishing Report – June 25, 2021
All the streams in the park are in good shape with clear water. There are good numbers of insects hatching and terrestrial insects (inch worms, ants, beetles and hoppers) are starting to work okay in some cases. See the updated fly list below. We received a good report yesterday from a customer fishing for brook trout. All the high elevations streams should turn out good… Read More »Great Smoky Mountains Fly Fishing Report – June 24, 2021
All the streams in the park are up to good wading levels and in good shape. It appears that most of the streams got just about the right amount of rain to keep the levels up but not blow them out.

Today will be sunny and… Read More »Great Smoky Mountains Fly Fishing Report – June 23, 2021

Take a look at our new websites:… Read More »Great Smoky Mountains Fly Fishing Report – June 22, 2021

We are still getting good reports from our Perfect fly customers even though the levels are… Read More »Great Smoky Mountains Fly Fishing Report – June 20, 2021
The stream levels this morning are almost identical to those we posted yesterday. I think some of the streams actually received a little rain yesterday. It did sprinkle a lot at our home in Pigeon Forge. We had a big, six point buck show up in our front yard yesterday. That is rather rare as we have seen only a few over the years. This… Read More »Great Smoky Mountains Fly Fishing Report – June 19, 2021
