Smoky Mountain Trout

[Rudypoo4444]

I've caught plenty of fish in this area in the past.

I've caught fish under the skylift, in front of No Way Jose's and some of the best fishing I've done was there all around the Best Western Hotel- Twin Islands. While fishing the last place we caught trout after trout and then a bear came down the stream toward us! Nothing remotely bad happened, but a scary deal given the steep walls in that area. Not exactly an escape route.

Keep in mind if you're in the national park you cannot use live bait. Artificial only.

It's kind of fun fishing in that No Way Jose's area, you can garner quite a crowd up top watching you.

Thanks a ton for the information!

Is it still single hook, artificial only in those spots you mentioned?

Is the Best Western in Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg?

We are staying at a hotel right on the little pigeon river in Pigeon Forge, and I was wondering if the trout would be that far down river.
