Just got back from several days in smoky mountain national park. I'm fricking exhausted. Friday Saturday and Sunday were hot, 95 in the park. Fishing was slow except riffle and deep pools. Cooled off a lot last night, dropped down into the 50's was around 60 this morning when I started. Lost a big trout in a deep pool right off. The native trout were tearing it up in the faster moving currents. If I could get my fly in front of them they would hit it.
Had a lot of fun. Still learning, casting is much better, still struggle with setting the hook, I keep trying to rip their faces off like a bass.
if you're in the smokies go to the Little River Outfitters, those guys are awesome and very knowledgable. Had a free lesson for about 12 people Sunday afternoon.

Did some wet wading in Pisgah national forest. It was really hot and fish were not cooperating like I'd hoped. Managed I think 3 browns and about 8 creek chub. It's been interesting adjusting to my new fishing grounds. Haven't fished this hot a weather in a long time.

Glad you had a good exhausting time. I am usually cooked when I get done bc I cover so much water.
Sorry bout losing the big one. Those will always keep you coming back. You gonna make a fall trip?
