Pictures from the Smokies....

So it's been awhile since I've made any posts. Things have been quite hectic with a new job and kids going back to school. However, I have been able to get out and have taken a couple of trips into the mountains on the past few Sundays. I plan on sticking to this rountine, and will definately get some new pictures and maybe even a few reports from a couple of different areas in the park.

Thanks,
Shawn

West Prong 7/20/2010

Fished the West Prong of the Little Pigeon today. Water was moving a little faster than  usual due to the rain we received the past few days.....but nothing that couldn't be handled. Fished for about 2 hrs brought three to hand and got pictures, but the 4th came off as soon as I reached down to grab him. Go figure that was the largest of the 4.

Here are a few earlier pic of my very first fishing trip to the Smokies.Had a great time but didn't snap that many pics....sorry. All the fish were caught on a dry fly with a dropper set-up, all coming on the dry fly. Hope you enjoy!

Clear Creek State Park

Today was a tough day to say the least. First off, Clear Creek is a very small, lightly stock stream located in southern Ohio. I have only fished it one other time. Definately not a big producer, and most will not even try to fish it because of this reason. Safe to say I got skunked, but it still felt good to get out. The upside of this outing is that 1. It's close to my house and 2.It's one of the most scenic areas in all of Ohio. Here are some of the pictures....
