Fly Fishing for Smallmouth Bass - The Nolichucky River

[@bearbenton5945]

Hey pal, I just want to say I'm glad you enjoyed our river. I love east Tennessee with all my big ol' heart. Every river is like a new friend you haven't met yet. They will demand your respect, but if you get to know them, they will be a rewarding part of your life.

When Terry was mountain biking in the 70's he was a pioneer in the sport. Especially here in the East.

[@SlabDynasty]

Terry is clearly the type of guy to blaze his own trail, probably was fly fishing for smallies in that river before anyone else too. Such a cool and interesting dude

[@AdamMiharaFishing]

Smallies jumping on the fly are heart pumping

[@daffyduck1223]

MAN i could fish that river and never get a bite and leave with a smile on my face !!!!

[@SlabDynasty]

Haven't had that issue yet but it really is an amazing place

[@arthur5065]

It's even more beautiful when u are alone with no camera just u and GOD

[@bearbenton5945]

Amen brother

[@mizzle1788]

Didn't even get a notification on the drop! Great stuff boys like always

[@SlabDynasty]

That’s weird, seems like KZbin likes to do that for no reason with our channel 👎🏻

[@brandonwhitener2166]

Great video! As I am newer to fly fishing myself, it's nice to see you working through it as you go. We all have to start somewhere and there's no better way to learn than to get out on the water!

[@TheJaymon1962]

Those are gorgeous smallies.

[@waderaybingham4795]

I am from this area. There is an amazing creek across the river there. Its called California Creek. Native brook trout!!! Next time you are there, check it out.

[@SlabDynasty]

Thanks we definitely will.

[@rickyboy3288]

Yall always come out with da best content

[@SlabDynasty]

Thanks mane

[@darrelbaillie7829]

Great video. Awesome setting and river

[@paulheels]

Sounds like they got those Sandhills barking spiders up yonder 😂 Great video as usual. Beautiful place.

[@Shelleyann13]

Beautiful video! Nice location and Terry was great company 🎣

[@MackinNC1]

Nice looking water there. Hope to get on some Smallies soooooooon. nice video as well. Mack

[@SlabDynasty]

They’re fun no doubt. We caught plenty more this past weekend

[@chrisbowers1570]

April is awsome til end of may then hot months get small fish and big boys are top water from end Sep til end oct

[@southernhood5145]

great video guys, I need to get back north to do more

[@KenThompson-ds4pf]

I really enjoy your fly fishing videos. One of my favorite things to do is fly fish for really big bluegill and redder sunfish (shell crackers) with a one weight fly rod. In doing so, I have caught some very nice bass along the way and have caught bluegills up to over one pound and landed a huge channel cat as well. Matching the rod to the fish really makes it so much more fun. We live in Montana and yet I still love fishing for bass and bluegills. I would appreciate your fly fishing for some large sunfish in some private ponds. Finally, have you have ever heard of Richmond Mill Lake in North Carolina? They have GIANT bluegills and great bass fishing there. Perhaps you could get access due to your presence on KZbin? Ken

Awesome bass fishing that was 🔥 awesome video I know it takes a lot of effort too make videos every couple days as a kid I find it hard been doing it for 2 years now any way I just love this video I have too say it is one of your best!!!!

[@SlabDynasty]

Thank you means a lot. Still improving as we go.

[@MrDonohuea]

Ok, Ok, I'm jealous. I found your channel a couple weeks ago...and this river and all the rivers' you fish are my juice. If you're ever in Ohio and need some spots hit this response up. We don't have anything that nice looking, but I can hook you up with as close as we have. On the right days it's insane.

[@SlabDynasty]

Awesome man, will do!

[@patrickhelmuth3111]

Hey man, does this offer extend to anyone else👀👀

[@BrettFox]

Nice video. Have to get out that way! Would have probably helped if yall weren't walking all over the river spooking everything. River smallmouth in clear water are a lot spookier than you think.

[@corvettesplus4913]

I live close to a section of the nolichuckey that’s probably 3hrs from where this is and is a much more low land situation but it’s trophy smallmouth water as well. Not gonna lie it took me a hour or so to find where y’all waded on maps 😂

[@NolanW.]

You have to come down to Texas and catch some 7-8 lbs on the fly rod

[@SlabDynasty]

Down

[@Anthony-eg7pw]

would the fishing style you're doing in this video be considered nymphing? sorry i just picked up a fly rod and trying to learn! thanks for the video

[@BrettFox]

Nope. More like streamer fishing, even though they were dead drifting. Nymphing refers to using tiny flies fished on the bottom, usually for trout

[@DylanWOWilliams]

65 isn't THAT old, man. Haha

[@SlabDynasty]

65 years young!

[@springteen3743]

I didn’t get what he was explaining about the grass beds. 🤔

[@chrisbowers1570]

Small mouth love oct

[@endurofx420]

I live there in that area would have been funny if you got me ridding wheelies through there on my dirtbike and the old man that lives there wouldn't shoot anyone🤣🤣

[@chrisbowers1570]

May have 2 drink a couple

[@chrisbowers1570]

Man I own river property below the dam in greene county come take my jet boat and catch all you want i will take you all fishing

[@canadiangemstones7636]

Was hoping you’d share some of Terry’s wisdom... but no dice. 😢

[@chrisbowers1570]

Stay black natural color

[@chrisbowers1570]

I will take you all if you enjoy that guys free

[@chrisbowers1570]

I don't charge for fishing anyone wants 2 go I fished and lived on the chucky 44 year and I know every hole every rock comment back

[@patrickhelmuth3111]

Does this offer still stand my good sir👀

[@gregkosinski2303]

Dude you’re doing it all wrong. You’re supposed to cast with your right hand and strip with your left. Give that a try next time you go out.
