Recent float trips have been producing some nice fish. The other day, an angler hooked an 18" brown trout and played it perfectly through several blistering runs before it finally got the best of him and spit the hook. Another recent Fathers' Day gift trip produced a memorable trophy for this dad! I'm not sure if he or his son was more excited. His son did a great job on the camera though while I helped pose the fish. Check out this gorgeous rainbow trout!

The lack of recent updates is a direct result of how busy things have been. I'm scrambling to get caught up, but most of my free time is spent keeping a good supply of fish catching flies in stock for guide trips.
Lots more is on the way so stay tuned for more reports and thoughts on the current fishing around the area!
If you are interested in a guided float trip on the Caney Fork River or in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, please contact me through Trout Zone Anglers, via email at TroutZoneAnglers@gmail.com, or call/text (931) 261-1884.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great Father's Day gift, spend as much time with him as you can, because before you realize it those times will vanish, but you will still will have those treasured memories. This post reminds me of the fishing trips I made with my Dad back in the day. Thanks for sharing
Bill, I don't think I was clear but this was not my dad. I will be doing a float with my dad soon though in honor of Fathers' Day and I'm looking forward to it immensely!
