Cataloochee: Before The Rain Fell... A Southern Fly Film

Описание: Last year, we set out on father’s day weekend to attempt the Alabama redeye bass slam. We had such a blast spending time together, fishing, camping, and making a film, that we decided that it was going to be an annual tradition.
However, with all of the rain we had in may, we were afraid that our states watersheds would still be too swollen to make a good attempt, so we decided to head up north to the Appalachian mountains. We each need a brown trout to complete our smoky mountian…wild trout slam, and what better place to make an attempt but Cattaloochee valley. It’s a Brown trout haven, and full of elk, bear, white tail, turkeys…. And tons of other amazing wildlife. There’s something awe inspiring about seeing an elk roam throughout the campground at no more than 40 yards away…. That would be an archers dream! ...But we’re only here to fish!
And fish we did! We fished so hard from the time we arrived to camp, til it was time to eat our traditional campfire tacos. We wet waded…. A lot, even in June that water is hovering in the low 60’s! We changed flies, added droppers, changed tactics.. even did a little nymphing.. oh and we made a few fly sacrifices to the rhododendron gods due to pure frustration! We did manage to scratch out a small wild rainbow, so we did beat the skunk, but it wasn’t the trip we had dreamed about in the weeks leading up.
Fore warning though, this was a difficult trip, don’t get me wrong, we had a blast, but we found out late the first day that the water had gotten high overnight with a heavy rain, and all the fish had moved to cover, which made fishing very rough the day we arrived. So we failed to catch our browns. But there’s always next time…
Did I mention the RAIN?!?
