[@DavidWilliams-tr1yx]

Cool place to fish, great video

[@DavidWilliams-tr1yx]

We have the Nolichucky river gorge here , but we can’t get into yet because of the storm in East Tennessee

[@borisdoore1041]

Beautiful awesome gorge river fishing mission Matt !!! It's always a great place to be when you're standing on "The Rock" 🎣🙂

[@MattsFishinMission]

@@borisdoore1041 love this spot!!

[@PackinTackle]

Man, what a beautiful spot. Nice fish too !

[@MattsFishinMission]

@@PackinTackle challenging terrain… but a worthwhile wade!

[@brianathern9154]

Never get tired of seeing that river canyon action. Your first jig was definitely cursed...time to melt the lead for a better jig hook. Glad to see you still use that rod. Plenty of backbone with a little sponge in the tip spooled with braid and it's a good match for plastics. Blessings brother

[@Dark30Outdoors]

I've been there! I prefer to kayak fish it, but having enough water to float it is a rare thing!

[@MattsFishinMission]

@@Dark30Outdoors beautiful spot!!! And it has days when the fishing in unbelievable!

[@CincyFishDudes]

19°F this morning. This video is literally warming me up. And it opens up with what looks like to be near the rock wall I broke my rod at last fall?

[@CincyFishDudes]

Never mind! Different spot!

[@MattsFishinMission]

If you travel to Lafayette IN, I can show you 8 bass creeks with 18-20" small mouth. All within 25 minutes of town.

[@MattsFishinMission]

@@rickpettry3249 that’s definitely a decent drive for me. But if I ever make it out that way I will hit you up!!!

[@stevebrockway4738]

You know I've got a couple of spots in mind but a tad more than a couple of hours. As for comfort zone, maybe a little cold weather steelhead action?

[@MattsFishinMission]

@@stevebrockway4738 ive been DYING to knock a steelhead off my bucket list!!!

[@stevebrockway4738]

@MattsFishinMission We need to make that happen!
