Fly Fishing the Great Smoky Mountains National Park

 

 

 

 

One cannot talk about fly fishing North Carolina without mentioning the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.  The legacy of fly fishing the Smokies reaches beyond the Southeast.  Patterns developed on famed creeks such as Deep Creek, Hazel Creek, and Cataloochee are now found in fly shops all across the country.  Anglers can certainly count on fishing in some of the best settings in the world right here in the Smoky Mountains. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Grandaddy of them all.  The Great Smoky Mountains National park is the most visited National Park in the country.  Off the beaten path seclusion is easily accomplished.  Surround yourself with the environemnt that inspired Horrace Kephart and his writing of "Our Southern Highlanders".  Old Smoky Mountain traditional dry flies are just as effective today as they were one hundred years ago.  "Yella Humpy" "Yella Sallies" caddis flies, Thunderheads, and Cahills are always a go-to on park streams.
