My uncle Jimmy Camper was a fish biologist , served Erwin TN , Pisgah

Forest NC, and wound up his life at Heber Springs Arkansas...he was inducted into the Fish Culturist Hall of Fame in Spearfish SD. ...and much of the expansion and preservation of trout fishing and hatchery stocking can be credited to men like him.

By the way, our NY State Brook Trout record is 5.75 lbs. certified by NYS Dept of Environmental Conserv.

my father and I are going up next month to fish for brookies - does the park fill up near cataloochee?

[BrownTrout11]

what kind of fly were you using when you cought the brook trout ?

[braveheartfreak777]

my great grandfathers family grew up there. been fishing there several times since I started fly fishing caught a 10 inch speck out of the very head =]

I live and guide out of Knoxville, but Cataloochee is my favorite stream in the Park. I caught a 15" Brownie there a couple of weeks ago. Congrats on the speck though...there are probably many more 14-15" brown trout than 10" brookies.

I've never been to the river, but I know the guide very well. Anyone considering a trip with Smokey Mountain Gillie would be foolish not to go.
