More DescriptionGreat Smoky Mountains National Park is one of the last wild places in the United States where native brook trout are still found in their natural habitat. Logging operations in the early 1900's coupled with the introduction of rainbow trout reduced their range by half by 1976, but these colorful fish are still found in hidden corners of the park. Recent restorations have boosted brook trout populations and a 30 year ban on fishing for them was lifted in 2006. Fly fishing guides Ian & Charity Rutter share their knowledge of Smoky Mountain trout streams in this book. Stream descriptions tell you where to find the fish and what to expect when you get there.
