Wild and Scenic Rivers - Keeping them Free

Thu, 10/25/2012 - 08:37 -- jmaslar

In my current report from AFFTA (The American Fly Fishing Trade Association) I learned about the efforts of an organization called the American Rivers which is dedicated to preserving and protecting fish habitat. They focus on removing dams that are no longer used for electricity, and protecting the pristine waters like the Merced River by designating them wild and scenic.

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Fri, 10/12/2012 - 09:31 -- jmaslar

October is the best time to visit the Great Smoky Mountains national Park as the color is spectacular. I suggest a leisurely motor trip through the loop around Cades Cove in the western part of the park. As srive, stop to visit some of the old homesteads and quaint little churches and cemeteries and reminisce about the "good ol days". In addition to an opportunity to see deer, turkeys and bears and after you reach the end of the cove take a hike on Abrams Creek for a spectacular view Abrams falls.

Delayed Harvest Fly Fishing At Stone Mountain State Park NC

Three generations of us headed up to Stone Mountain State Park today to hit the well-stocked Delayed Harvest water. Early October is a great time to do this, as the catch and release regulations have just gone into effect, and the stream is chock full of trout (and, sometimes, fishermen).  Also, the weather was outstanding, and Drew was even able to try to catch some of the falling leaves.
