Down town had some water damage from a high water event, a few trees and mild slides/sink holes locally but really Bryson was spared. We were very fortunate.

Glad to hear that, going to be in Robbinsville in November.

The bass are schooling on shad. So pay attention to the bait!!! They should all be moving towards the shallows of Creek and river mouths. I'd hit those areas first. Make sure you fish morning and evening for your best chance at top water.

All the way to the top!

@@bseagle01 I’ve lived in Bryson city my whole life I fished every stream in the great Smoky Mountains. There’s plenty of fish. I do eat catfish too.

If you knew how far they hiked to get to where they were fishing, you'd know the answer to both of those questions.

Place was loaded.

Go early. Fish main lake points and off shore structure. Then flip docks when the sun gets up.

That's great Warren! See you then!

You are gonna be staying on a great creek! Fish Alarka! The creek there will be open on the first saturday in April for fishing. So take advantage of your great timing! Also try the nantahala river and the tuckaseegee in Bryson and Dillsboro!

Usually rod length, maybe a bit longer. So probably around 8 ft?

Crunch crunch.

Should be some good fishing up there! We just did upper deep Creek and had good luck all day!

@@TheDEEZY yeah, I’ve used some of the flies that you sent me had some good luck with them. Have you ever been on the head of Hazel Creek fishing?

Not yet!

Whwn you say the park, do you mean GSMNP or one in Bryson city?

​@@captjimusfl Island Park in Bryson

Hit me up. I'll get you on fish, dude!

Hey @TheDEEZY why is the park closed? Love your videos. I make the drive from SC to fish your waters with my Pops every few months. Thank you for the content.

@@matthewvazquez5234 the town is building a picnic pavilion. There are also some riverbank restoration projects that are being done. It should open back up when they get done in a few months.

Somebody knows their worms!

Rad! The is the time of year for PB browns.

@@TheDEEZY I'm heading back up to BC for an extended stay starting in a couple of days, I haven't really been fishing this late in the fall before. Unfortunately, I have to work while in town. Is it still a good time of year for the "lunch trip" around BC?

​@@joshamick3371 the dry fly game is still on. It has been a little tougher due to low clear flows, but it may pick up a bit after the rain this week. Should be good though.

@@TheDEEZY I am really looking forward to it. I may try Deep Creek again this week and I am really tempted by Alarka Creek; up until now I have been scared of getting in trouble for being somewhere I shouldn't be. The real problem I have is that I have to work while in town, so I am stuck behind a laptop most of the day. I have to say man, I love your videos, I am learning a lot about fly fishing and how to approach the water around BC.

Right on!

For sure you can do that with smaller poppers. You will have your world rocked if you catch a bass bigger than 2 lbs though.

It can be. I haven't fished it for smallies in a few years. I usually fish the little t for them. Little less of an "urban-fly fishing experience" there.

That's epic.

@@TheDEEZY lol. I’m asking if you want to go.

Caddis and Adams. All dry flies.

Indeed! From the top!!

Yes. Started just below the dam. Very small portage trail there. A small raft is needed, no way to get a trailer to it.

@@TheDEEZY Thanks for the reply! I thought so, especially when I saw the cows. That is my favorite stretch to drift. I have a 10' Scadden raft, 50 pounds, we put in at the dam and fish down to the 28 bridge. Nice 4 hour drift, gets no pressure, easy rowing and less intimidating than down river by Needmore (I wade there),
