Went down to visit my brother in Georgetown, Kentucky for a few days. He took us around to see several sites such as the Buffalo Trace and Wooodford distilleries, a Japanese garden, a horse retirement ranch called "Old Friends," and checked out a couple of local restaurants.
After that we went camping in the rainy, foggy Smokey Mountain National park at the Elkmont campground which had the very loud Little River that flowed through it. We played tourist for a couple of days checking out some of the main attractions of old churches, water falls, old mills, and cemeteries. Then I had the treat of fishing some of the rivers on the Tennessee side of the park.
Open during the day, but the Chimney Tops campground is closed at night due to the high amount of bear activity there. I caught a few rainbow and brook trout on the Tenkara rod. They were not big, but they were fun to catch in the scenery was great, the water cold, and very few spots taken up by other fisherman. This river was totally designed for Tenkara fishing!
Had a little luck on this river too, it had a little less gradient to it, less big boulders, and would have been better if I had used a normal fly rod as it it was much wider than the first river.
I didn't take any photos of the trout caught, apparently I was having too much fun catching them and forgot to snap any photo's of the little guys.
