Fishing the Clinch

Fished the Clinch near Miller's Island.  Caught a couple of 16+ inch Trout fishing with two nymphs.  I put a weighted copper john nymph on the bottom to get them deep.

I am ready to go fishing!

Just needing some time on a stream somewhere!!!!  I also get to go learn how to really tie some flies in a couple of weeks.  If I do that I may actually catch some fish one day.


Update:  I completed a fly tying class at Orvis the day where I tied some of the ugliest flies ever seen.

Here is the set up.



 Practicing utilizing the Whip Finisher tool to tie off a fly.



My first fly. The Green Weenie.  I also tied a pink one.


 The next several flies we tied were Whooly Buggers.











The five flies I tied during the class.


I also purchased one of their fly tying kits to see if I could actually tie some on my own (http://www.orvis.com/p/orvis-fly-tying-kit-with-manual/08xz).  I will post the results of my efforts and if I manage to catch a fish on a fly that I tie myself.

Cataloochee Trout


Cataloochee Trout - Not big, but they were biting today. Lots of action on the surface. Every type of bug known to man was hatching so it was hard to miss.
