The Contented Angler
Smoky Mountains Flyfishing
A half-million-acre widernesss with 700 miles of wild trout habitat located on the
border of Tennessee and North Carolina. If you've never fished the Smokies, I
suggest you give it a try. It is a flyanglers paradise. This is truly the trouts' domain and
it will call you back every year.  I believe it is the best trout fishing in the Eastern U.S.

"Every country--or at least every country that is fit for habitation--has
its own rivers; and every river has its own quality; and it is the part of
wisdom to know and love as many as you can, seeing each in the
fairest possible light, and receiving from each the best that it has to
give."

The mountains in the Fall
It's about a 2.5 mile relativly easy hike to
reach Abrams falls.  Well worth the walking.
