My Mother was born in Lansing in 1928. I love the Nemo area. Beautiful rivers and streams. The plateau is beautiful and is different than the Smokies in its own way. Just watch out for poisonous snakes. Thanks for the great video Brother and keep'em coming!!!

[@steelbonnet8699]

I grew up smallmouth fishing on Little River in Blount County not far outside of GSMNP. I moved up to Anderson county a few years back and my shop is only 20 odd minutes from Nemo/Rock Creek Campground. When I went up to Nemo it felt just like home. I haven't really had time to fish it but hope to soon. GSMNP is so overcrowded now and it's nice when you get further out towards the plateau where there is equally beautiful county but no crowds at all.

[@funkymojo111]

Just very beautiful scenery. Stuck in a big city so these types of exploratory fishing vids are great therapy.

[@WholeOtherLevelOutdoors]

Check out mine , ima newbie.

[@timlacy2284]

John, Great Video and Outstanding Creek Fishing, Thanks for letting me go with you. I can't wait till I can walk again without a walker or cane. Take Care and God Bless You. Tim L.

[@streamfisher7472]

There’s a river north of there that is just like it or maybe a little better. East Tennessee is full of small rivers like that and I’m lucky to have been born and raised here.

[@TB-lv2rh]

Don't move to central Virginia! Our rivers look nothing like the rivers in Tennessee.

[@JackycClark]

Always thought an ideal place to live would be somewhere in the Tennessee / North Carolina area .

[@dougalexander7204]

East Tennessee is beautiful. Thank you for the adventure.

[@matthewjohnson1211]

Obed Emory watershed! The old Nemo bridge -slept in my car underneath will waiting for daylight to kayak nearby island creek. Beautiful area not crowded like the smokies. Love Tennessee!

[@thomasross3412]

Great video, John! All those smallmouth looked dark and beautiful! You always catch multiple species which I love! Love the shot of your legs and feet with little fish swimming around!

[@jmac7287]

YAY A CREEK FISHING ADVENTURE!!!!!!

[@INAM1NUTE]

I love this channel so much!!!!

[@robertdiehl1281]

Fun watching you spend some time on a beautiful river. Catching whatever bites. Great video.

[@lindagsmith7846]

Beautiful river so clear & very scenic. Take care & have fun 🐟

[@alexanderj2573]

River fishing, to be able to read a river is a special skill and gift because most people never take the time too. I just leaned in the past year and it’s humbling to read a river. Keep going brother

[@williamwirick886]

That's a beautiful river! Be carefull where you kayak on it there's some rough spots.

[@suscodm4868]

"we got some lil fish shitinit" hahahaha 🤣 3:33

[@EricStegall78]

You are blessed to live in E Tennessee, has to be one of the best fisheries anywhere. I wish there were more fish in Carolina mountain rivers but I think all the trout stocking hurts these smaller mountain streams bass and other bait fish population. Side note- check out Astral shoes and get the high tops that protect your ankle. Good non slip and made for kayaking and walking slick rock. Perfect creek walking shoes.

[@margaretprice1572]

I live in Winston Salem and it has some amazing little creaks to fish

[@bennyharris1441]

I fully agree, the WNC river bass fishing is lacking. I fish the French Broad for smallmouth mostly but the quality of the fish has declined in the last 5+years. I second the Astrals, it's all I use on the river now, fishing or kayaking/rafting.

[@rcieszkowski]

Just fished WNC. Did OK with the largies (at least for me) but there weren’t any giants in there. And I third the Astrals. Just bought myself a pair and used them in NC for a week. Solid.

[@joespafford6499]

I got to say a lot of people do underwater footage but I appreciate yours the most. Watching this video and you just chilling there with all those fish swimming around you is awesome, not to mention that first rock bass you caught. Is that even legal in kentucky? I'm just kidding. I really appreciate your content John your videos everything man you're quite enjoyable to watch while I drink my morning coffee as well as throughout the day at work.

[@brians767]

That looks like a fun and scenic place to fish. I have always loved the sound of running water while fishing!

[@thomasgowen8298]

Me to but I could not find a place off the road to park! But when I was a young I could find parking all over and little road side picnic tables as a rest stop.

[@brianathern9154]

Very nice looking stretch of river. Great idea mixing up the finesse hellgramites and crankbaits. Man they knock the fire out of them in current. As I was taught by a veteran river guide, the bass don't have time to mess around. They usually commit all in. Definitely worth the return visit with the kayak brother. Blessings

[@texasfishingsecrets4879]

Ima big fisherman and love your videos I'm 12 so when I come home from school and see ur vids I'm so excited to watch em

[@johnbubbajohnson5630]

That looked like great place. Thank you for sharing this video sir and Gob Bless you John 🙏 ❤ 🙏😊

[@JD-HALL]

Another beautiful location. Thanks for sharing.

[@bridgettcovell3267]

Thanks for visiting Morgan County! Clear creek has alot of hidden beauties too.

[@scottfrey2710]

Bustin' a gut laughing at your ending, John! Didn't see that one coming! Love the creativity you put into your vids, especially the entertaining funny ending stuff like this! Keep it coming, Bro! :-)

[@martinmaddox5315]

Loved it, may be long for the river that I fished in my teen years, Houston river. I had forgotten how much fun small mouth bass and red eyes were . Thank you.

[@tommyhuffman8781]

You are definitely blessed with some awesomely clear fishing areas. Like seeing the contrast from Tx water bodies.

[@josephmuzaurieta3105]

Dude you should fish the buffalo river here in TN I only kayaked it when I was little but I remember seeing huge fish there when my buddies parents would fish, and now that I've learned my species etc, I remember those big fish being gigantic smallmouths lol...but you can definitely kayak and fish there. It's a pretty decent stretch of backwood creek bro

[@smoovefishing]

Buffalo river is a good place to fish! I have fished it for at least 30 years, broke my back working at the rail road in Nashville CSX, so I haven’t fished it in about 5 years but it’s good fishing there

[@fallshillsidehome]

Love the scripture at the end! Awesome videos, too! I'm from Cleveland as well. After you inspired my nephew with your trip in front of Checkers he asked me to take him to fish at Tinsley Park after church this past Sunday. We had a great time fishing that part of Mouse Creek! I wish I had done a video on that.

[@glinnphillips4884]

Do that a lot. Hellgrammites and black crickets works wonders. Also a small rebel crawdad

[@sandrafinney535]

That was a lovely place to fish. Love your ending Bible verse shown against the beautiful bridge. Glad you weren't hurt in your slip on the wet rocks. So cool visuals at the end of minnows swimming around your legs. Still like the other video with you fishing in the ditch by the highway. Sweet

[@jaydenburch7153]

Love your videos keep it up,me and my dad started creek fishing two years ago mainly because of your videos

[@bearcreek42]

Well now I have to go creek fishing this weekend! I love a silver and black rapala countdown minnow early in the day, especially where the current flows into a pool.

[@Mark-dx8rr]

Beautiful Smallies!! Super pretty color!!

[@UYAVAARABRAB]

Oh man nice recovery from your fall...that would have taken me 20 minutes to recover from. I recently was fishing on a slippery jetty & wiped out, fractured a rib, messed up my jaw pretty bad (with a chunk of my tooth embedded in my cheek for 3 weeks) chipped 3 teeth!!! I what a mess.... but still back fishing in recovery. U fish the most beautiful spots.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Wow that’s terrible

[@gloryboundoutdoors974]

Outstanding creek! Thats my kind of fishing! Thanks for taking us along with you John.

[@mikeboyce584]

Nice river good looking Smallies can relate to the fall hellgrammite the only way to go Good video John

[@waynecartwright9478]

great video......need to throw a shallow running brokenback in the fast running rapids......big ones lurking for anything headed over those rapids......thanks again.....

[@WaynJul]

I slipped many times on slimy surface. We use to seine for hellgrammites. red horse minnows, and small crawfish. Caught a lot of different fish with them. Nice to see you having success with a hellgrammite lure.

[@MarkMeadows90]

Gorgeous area of fishing John. That's something only my area of town can dream of lol

[@josephmuzaurieta3105]

Bro the last part where the minnows were biting your legs lol, that's why I love this channel

[@CarolinaBassHunter]

Great ending man. Awesome video. 👍👍

[@MrStvwinks]

Wow, that was a nice place to fish! My wife said she has never seen a fish like that brown striped one before and neither have I but it was beautiful.

[@patrickmahoney3479]

Great video. This river has some stretches of major rapids and can be dangerous.

[@philfierro4356]

Nice & Relaxing Beautiful River...Nothing Like That Here In So Cal...Fish On !! 👍🏼

[@johnrudy9404]

From the first time I watched your channel, the helgramite has been a winner. That initial bass was a hard hit. Good stuff.

[@WholeOtherLevelOutdoors]

Looks similar to a spot on the Buffalo River in Arkansas. Once you experience the NIKKO HELLGRAMITE; it’s hard to go back to other baits. Good show John

[@Legowarrior03]

The wife and I where just in that area this spring. We came down there from northern Illinois to explore the Nemo tunnel. We really enjoy your videos. Thank you

[@151rummer4]

great videos. the fishing is awesome and the scenery is breathtaking. Ultralight is quickly becoming my favorite type of fishing!

[@nuclearoutdoorscampingtips5850]

I fish so many rivers in central Indiana almost identical to what I see here that’s why I love you videos so much because they give me is like other people fishing

[@dante04srt]

I know exactly where you are! That's a really cool spot. I was up there before I started fishing a couple years ago but I remember looking down and seeing just tons of fish in the water from that bridge

[@dongarnett294]

What bridge is that?

[@davidnyberg5752]

@@dongarnett294 Nemo bridge, obed wild and scenic river national park.

[@allstarplumbingremodel1783]

Hey John...have you ever fished the Mulberry river in the Ozarks? i like fishing it when its low in mid summer.... i love hitting the holes there... alot of snakes and TICKS...but good fishing,swimming and kayaking.... also check out Rim Shoals resort on the White river...EXCELLENT trout fishing

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

sounds nice

[@logandunt9183]

Love your vids I got a question what’s ur pb creek bass

[@DareToFishWithUs]

Have you posted the follow up video I love close to Nemo and I’m wanting to get more into kayak fishing the rivers I want to see your experience as well we done it once last year from Nemo where you first start fishing to oakdale park

[@blueshotwheelsandmore869]

That was pretty awesome, nice spot, good fish, cool ending, I see why you enjoy fishing there in your area so much who wouldn't , beautiful country, I bet it's really pretty in the fall when all the leaves change color, a real blessing

[@gerald4133]

Beautiful Smallies great colors 👍. Sweet creek to fish 🎣

[@davidtheriault6726]

Nice! You sure have some some pretty scenery there. And as for the ending, I'm not sure I'd want one of those little fish swimming up my shorts!

[@jimmycecil1287]

Me and my son both love watching your channel. We use the crickhopper, and crawhopper, in creeks here in Ky, both work great. Just ordered the hellgrammite (berkley), looking forward to using them. Hope we have as much luck as you do.

[@kxry4679]

Seeing these videos make me miss home, miss trout fishing in Townsend

[@ShowMeCreeks]

Great looking area and nice looking smallmouth.

[@jeffkoier4621]

John, please kayak this with a strong friend! Several rapids that are way rougher than expected. It’s beautiful but I turned over 3 times in 4 or more miles. Where you take out is absolutely the weirdest place you can imagine. Up on the railroad tracks. Good fishing and may God continue to bless you

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Thanks for the info on that

[@andyjones357]

I live in Bell Buckle Tn down close to state line some ok spots to fish here I mostly avoid swift current spots unless I get a gut feeling telling me to hit it

[@prestonrussell605]

Awesome scenery and some beautiful smallmouth bass!

[@ALEXPEAK]

wow thats a beautiful location

[@leemullins2928]

You are the man John God bless you and thanks for the awesome creek vids 😎

[@TB-lv2rh]

Wow, what a pool @ the 8:30 mark! He needs a bucket of live minnows, crawls, or hellgrammites & he would do some serious damage!!!!

[@carlyr5716]

How do you not get snagged on rocks all the time?!!! Would love to see a bit of a tutorial on what hooks you are using to put on your swim bait and hellgrammite!

[@anniestone5548]

Obed River in Cumberland County. There are some very shallow places places you never know what you're going to find. Crawdaddy's if nothing else :-)

[@randomfishing5998]

My favorite kind of fishing! Keep the great videos coming

[@aaronpangle2185]

Good to see that river recovering well from the coal ash spill several years ago.

[@drumavenger83]

Its so awesome to see this video. A week or so ago I pinned this area on Google maps as a place I'd like to go. After watching this, im definitely going to make a trip up there!

Lovely, clear water! Sigh. No such here in Kansas. I love to fish in streams for any that bites. Good fishing to you, sir.

[@seddy_woods5288]

Nice. River kayaking video next?

[@jayl1926]

Nice vid. You need to try some z-man trd bugs in those creeks. You won't be disappointed

[@josephdill1282]

Seems the crankbait was working well in the fast waters, and the helgramite in the slower deeper holes. Beautiful video John

[@TengwarMetal]

What a beautiful spot and another great video!

[@allenaviation5746]

Great video John. I've never caught a smallmouth bass In a lifetime of fishing, it seems like I would have lucked into one by now. They must be pretty cagey. I even hired a guide on the upper Delaware river one time and he didn't get it done. Stupid Guides! Now it's a bucket list item!

[@bryanimler3906]

Had some good luck on the Nikko Winnow last week on the river. Started using Nikko because of your videos

Look forward to all ur fishing adventures. Matter fact inspired me to get back out on the lake and creeks fishing again. Question what sun glasses are u wearing? Also when ur out in a creek what is ur general tackle bag u use??
