I got to spend three days in the GSMNP last week fishing and guiding at it was pretty productive.  I got rained on Thursday, and boy it rained.  Rain jacket helped but it flat came down and the river rose.  Fishing prior to that was pretty good but all good things come to an end, or at least that is what they say.  We are in better shape compared to this same time last year when it comes to water flows and the fishing is even better.

Purple and Tan Caddis worked very well for me and my good friend Eric was using one of my Nantahala Specials and it worked very well.  I tie the Purple Caddis with Purple dyed peacock herl and it worked very well in Palmer Creek.  It also did well in Straight Fork.   We are starting to see some Little Green Stones come off so a good Green Palmer should work.
