A Simple Stripping Basket |
|
|
|
Sunday, 13 August 2006 |
|
I have been fishing the rip-rap below the dam at Chickamauga quite frequently. I have been having luck with Skipjacks, small bass and a few stripers. The limestone rocks that line the bank are a challenge to walk down and also present a problem when it comes to line management. The flyline seems to get tangled in every possible nook and cranny of the rocks. I decided that a stripping basket was in order. |

Searching for a Bull Trout |
|
|
|
Sunday, 13 August 2006 |
 For the last 10 years I’ve been engaged in a quest to catch all the species of trout native to North America. Why? I don’t know exactly. I guess one reason is because I like to travel to different areas and luckily our native trout live in many of the most beautiful spots our country has to offer. Another is that I simply admire the beauty of the trout in all its various forms. From the iridescent bluish flanks of the Bonneville cutthroat to the golden hues of the Apache trout, it has been a privilege to hold each jewel in my hand, if only for a moment. And finally I guess it is a way to add a sense of accomplishment to an activity I enjoy. My days of fly fishing for trout are imbued with a sense of higher purpose and I am forced by this endeavor to support conservation efforts for all our trout species but especially those that are most endangered. |

Fishing Report: Summer BWO’s on the Hiwassee |
|
|
|
Sunday, 30 July 2006 |
|
I have been over to the Hiwassee several times the last few weeks with good success. There are plenty of fresh, but small, stockers ranging from about 8” to 12” and they are hungry. I think they really miss the puppy chow! |

Hiwassee River - TVA is currently starting generation with one turbine at
10:00 a.m. and then two turbines from 11:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. This is a
typical schedule for summer during drier than normal conditions. The pulsing during the night conserves water, and the two turbine flow during the day allows us to drift the river. |
