The Ultimate Fly-Fishing Guide to the Smoky Mountains does more than any other book in print to bring success to a fishing trip. This newly updated landmark volume is an essential guide for anyone planning to fish the rivers, streams, and lakes in the Smokies -- these fisheries are some of the greatest in the nation. For successful fly-fishing, this guide is as important as the right tackle. The first half of this guide offers advice and history. The second half examines each of the 13 watersheds found within the park. Don Kirk and Greg Ward provide information about trail access, fishing pressure and quality, species, fly hatch information, and campsite availability.
Don Kirk has written about fishing and the outdoors for over four decades. Currently he is editor of “IS Outdoors,” a digital magazine. He has hosted weekly outdoors talk radio shows on Sirius/XM and Voice America. Kirk currently resides in Montevallo, Alabama. Greg Ward is a lifelong resident of Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. A hunting and fishing guide in the Smoky Mountains since his teens, he owns and operates Rocky Top Outfitters in the Forge. Ward is a well-known expert on Smoky Mountains fly-fishing.
