Quest For Adventure - The Smoky Mountain Trout

[@1fish2fish10]

Before people buy a fishing license they should have to watch either Walkers Cay or Spanish Fly - that should be a requirement! Hah! Thanks for sharing Flip!

Just came across this a few days ago. Alot of this video is shot on the Soque river in north east Georgia. The first bit looks like little river in Tennessee which is in the smoky mountains, then the first bigger river section looks a little bit like the public section. But the second part where they drive down the “long dirt road” is at a spot now referred to as “Rivers edge on the Soque” owned by Tammy harris who’s parents have owned the property since the 60s, I guide for rivers edge on the Soque and can 100% confirm from seeing that piece of water almost 3 days a week or more, I have pictures of clients with the same hole and big rock in the background. Definitely not in the smoky mountains, pretty crazy though this was the TV show Tammy and her husband Alex harris talked about that was filmed many years ago. Never would’ve thought these were the guys that fished or filmed for it though.

Nice! Looks more like Raven Fork in NC or Nolichucky Tn brood stock from Erin fish hatchery?

It's getting even more constricted. In the Hudson Valley there were lakes everywhere one could bank fish. Now... it's pay-to-park and a fishing dock. Everywhere else is private land

Awesome show

What station is your television show televised on

[@pizzulo8111]

First off, the Smoky's don't touch Georgia anywhere. Secondly, these were all stockers, and the majority of the Smoky's are wild trout. Thirdly, he's wrong when he calls the big stocker a "native Rainbow trout." It's not even a wild Rainbow, much less a native. The only native trout to the Smoky's is a Southern Appalachian Brook trout, and they were 90% wiped out from logging. They have introduced Northern strain Brook trout in about 10% of the waters, and they're all above 3,000 feet. The Rainbow and Brown trout were introduced in 1910 and 1930. The Rainbows haven't been stocked since 1975 except for tourist areas like Gatlinburg and a couple other places that are at the park border and make their way across the line until a waterfall barrier. Lastly, they most likely killed the fish from fatigue by stripping/reeling them in then letting them peel off line and repeating the process. They did it because it sounded good on their reels and added the "wow" factor for the cameras. Don't be a jackass to stroke your ego.
