re: Fishing smoky mountain national park

One of my favorite fly fishing spots is to go to Chimney Tops trailhead. Walk back through the tunnel going towards Gatlinburg. After you get through the tunnel, find the safest place for you to slide down the hill into the river. Bunch of good fishing for rainbows up to the trailhead.

Once you get to the trailhead, hike the trail to bridge 4, fish from there up to catch native brookies. Thats a good few hours of fishing.


If you get a bow and a brookie, go down to road prong and get you a brown to get yourself a Smokies Grand Slam. Take a pic of each fish and you use to be able to get a pin at Little River Outfitters in Townsend.

If you want to catch big fish, head over to Cherokee and pay to fish the trophy section.

You need a trout stamp to fish trout in Tennesssee.
