Woo-Wee! Look at this show off.
Hard to beat a wild brookie. Nature really outdid itself with this one.

When the water starts getting warm and the trout aren’t too happy, that doesn’t mean it’s time to put the rods away. It’s time to switch gears and chase smallmouth.

The Little Tennessee is hard to beat this time of year. Beautiful water, mountain scenery, and smallmouth that absolutely love to fight. If you’re looking for something to do when the trout bite slows down, come spend a day on the river with us.

Check out the cicada this smallie spit out in the net!

Floating down the river, chasing panfish and smallies. Sometimes it’s the little things that make the best days.

If you’ve never thrown poppers for panfish and smallies on a 3wt, you have to give it a shot. When it gets this hot, trout aren’t too happy, but these guys are fired up and an absolute blast to catch!
