Fished the Elkmont myself last year (think I was casting a dry something?) and didn't do any good, however a couple of other anglers pool hoping behind/ahead of me were doing pretty good on the rainbows using wet flies. Didn't get a good look, other then they were ~ # 8 or larger and black in color.
I would have never tried fishing anything that large on any of those streams down there. Sounds like I might have to re-think that. When I go down there it usually takes me sometime to get back in the groove because the fishing is so much different. Sneaking and stalking and short drifts are not what I am used to. Plus takes me a good hour to get my wading legs under me because I am not used to wading those heavy flowing freestone streams. I did manage to fish both days without taking a swim which might be a first for me on Smoky Mountain streams.
