EARLY FALL Fly Fishing in the SMOKY MOUNTAINS

A solo trip on a beautiful early fall day in the Smoky Mountains. This was a day full of beautiful scenery, wild trout, and even elk.

Nice video. Love the Smokies. I plan to do back country camping/fishing trip this coming spring.

[@ColbertOutdoors]

Thank you! I hope you are able to make your trip happen this spring-backcountry trips in the Smokies are the best. Tight lines!

[@flyrodhiker8326]

Gorgeous footage! I love them Smokies! Thanks for sharing sir!

[@ColbertOutdoors]

Thanks so much for watching! They are truly a special place!

[@justrelaxandfish]

Beautiful footage!

[@ColbertOutdoors]

Thanks so much!

[@KennethKempka-xg1jk]

Unbelievable footage, did you go to school to learn how to edit like that?

[@ColbertOutdoors]

Thanks for the kind words. I did not-I just really like making videos and have tried to learn along the way. Hopefully I learn something new each time and try to make each video just a little better than the last. Thanks so much for watching!

Beautiful. Thought I was the only one who fishes that creek. Slow going and somewhat technical. Love to break out the 1wt fiberglass for this one. Thanks for the wonderful content. Subscribed.

[@ColbertOutdoors]

Haha a 1wt would be a blast! I’ll definitely give that stream another try one day. Thanks for taking time to watch and for subscribing!

Maybe I didn’t catch the name of the river you were fishing but I would like to know. 😊

[@johnboyd6198]

Well you didn’t get skunked and had a great day in the Smokies . Haven’t fish up that high may have to try it. Looks Like it opens up when you get down to the stream.

[@ColbertOutdoors]

This is true! I feel like just not getting skunked when the water was so low and clear was a success. Can’t beat a pretty day in the Smokies! Thanks for watching!

[@kirkshammett94]

Man sometimes we fish and it’s just slow and not catching alot. But it’s always an amazing day out on the river whether your catching or not

[@ColbertOutdoors]

So true!!! Thanks for watching!

[@southernhood5145]

How do you like those Redington boots. I grabbed a pair when I stopped in the Fly Shop in Bryson this summer

[@ColbertOutdoors]

I actually like them a lot. I had another pair previously that lasted several years. I liked them enough that I just bought another pair recently. Have you liked yours so far?

[@southernhood5145]

@@ColbertOutdoors haven't got to use them

[@ColbertOutdoors]

Hopefully you can break them in soon!

[@guwop2234]

lol catchin biggens

[@ColbertOutdoors]

Haha you know it! If only!

[@sakarijukarainen2321]

what kind of fly rod you use there?

[@ColbertOutdoors]

In this video I had an Echo carbon xl in a 9ft 5wt. I love the rod overall and for most rivers it’s great, but it is definitely overkill for these small streams-it’s just all I had that day. Usually something like a 2wt or 3wt in a shorter length would have been better, but just shows you can make it work with what you have! Thanks for asking
