Bradley Fork 11/21/09

We went on a backpack trip to campsite #49 known as Cabin Flats in the GSMNP what a awesome campsite! it's in an area that was never logged when the lumber company's destroyed the park back 75 years ago. I fished up Bradly Fork from the turnaround and had strikes all day but never from any fish of any size I was surprised to even see dry fly action as cold as it was. The water temp was 44 degrees but the sun was out on Saturday I managed to catch 3 rainbows none of any size the one in the picture was the largest it was maybe 6" I went there in search of brook trout.....but still no luck yet.

I went backpacking to campsite #58 on Deep Creek in the Great Smokey Mountain National Park it was the most awesome weekend a deer even wandered into our campsite. The fishing was awesome I had several strikes but only managed to land two fish the first photo is the rainbow and the second is the brown trout as always I catch fish none so far have been of any great size but loads of fun to catch none the less and a weekend of perfect weather!
