What a bitter sweet morning, we have been blessed with at least an inch of rain but of friends to the west are face a major disaster due to the fires that now have invaded Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and the surrounding areas. Our region has been under such a devastating drought and the careless acts of humans have created an explosive powder keg and it ignited yesterday destroying acres of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, businesses, and peoples homes overnight. Now lets factor in the acres already lost in North Carolina, Georgia, and South Carolina and we are witnessing one of the most devastating regional events in my lifetime. We can only pray that more rain will suppress any more fire opportunities.

| Tuck Brook Trout taken on a Clown Egg 11/28/2016 |
The local fishing has been good and we are getting rain as I type. I did get an inch of rain since 11pm yesterday with more rain in the forecast I am hoping that total will climb. I fished the Tuckasegee yesterday and I landed a fat Brook on a Clown Egg. I took several more on the Egg and a #12 Black Stone Nymph.
I recommend using Eggs, Stone Flies, Midge Patterns, Squirmy Wormies, Woolly Buggers and small streamers. I am still sticking with light leaders and tippets since these trout are still spooky.
Tight Lines!
