Daryk Campbell Sr Posted June 6 Posted June 6 Request from a forum member having online security issues. I'm heading to Tennessee in the morning for all of next week. Starting outside sieverville for most of the trip, any of you guys know any good spots to bang on some TN trout? I know Ness on the forums knows where the native brookies hang at in GSMNP, could any of ya ping him for me on OAF? So, @ness or anyone else. Any ideas?

ness Posted June 6 Posted June 6 Boy, it’s been 15 years and I’ll have to check my notes to see if I have any ideas for you. I did use a guide named Tim Doyle out of Townsend, TN who was good, and entertaining, but I don’t know if he’s still guiding. Smoky Mountain Flywerks. Edit to add: My notes don’t have any stream names. I didn’t fish much on that trip. BilletHead and Daryk Campbell Sr 2 John

All of the areas in Pigeon Forge on the The West Prong Little Pigeon River have trout.... The Pigeon Forge Greenway runs along it right in town.... Go behind Fat Daddy's Arcade and go all the way to the back and park. You can walk up and down the river for quite a ways there. Also just a little southeast of there is The Riverwalk Greenway that runs along it. Park at Food City. It's a great little river that has lots of access right in town.... I wouldn't get a guide. Lots of river to fish as you enter the Park from the Gatlinburg Cutoff. Road runs right next to it with pull offs. Miles of it. Good luck. Call me if you need more info than I can type. I go there a couple times a year. Johnsfolly, grizwilson, FishnDave and 3 others 6
snagged in outlet 3 Posted June 7 Posted June 7 The parking area and picnic area are for Chimney tops trail head has access right there too. Stop at the visitor center on your way in to the park to get your $5 parking pass. You need it this time of year. Available outside in a CC kiosk. grizwilson 1
jdmidwest Posted June 7 Posted June 7 The Caney Fork below Center Hill is similar to MO tailwaters in a smaller scale. You will pass it on I 40 in places. Wadeable and float stream. Another in the Hurricane Mills area, but it is mostly a winter area. I have never fished it during the warmer months. Loretta Lynns Place is a good stopover to break up the drive. grizwilson, snagged in outlet 3 and Quillback 3 "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S.

jdmidwest Posted June 9 Posted June 9 Caney has trout for several miles below the Center Hill Dam all year long. We took the jet boat down and fished it for a way down below the dam. We motored up below the dam and fished a spot where the Lake leaks thru the bluff on the north side of the dam. It was a hotspot, not accessable by wading and nobody there running a boat. They had never seen a bead head. That was the trip that I broke the tooth and chewed the hole in my tongue in my sleep. Nice area to explore. A few years later, we did the Cordell Hull trip and run up the Caney from the Cumberland. We grounded out bad, stuffed the boat good. Lucky for us, they turned the pumps on and we floated off to keep fishing. Lower end has some smallies. The whole river is pretty skinny unless they are running a generator. Had to watch that pretty close. grizwilson, snagged in outlet 3 and Daryk Campbell Sr 3 "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S.
