  1. I'm head over there in acouple weeks. Here a site I came across http://www.catskillanglingcollection.org/hatchchart.html
  2. $400 kayak is only the beginning you need life jacket, paddle. Get one around 12' lot easier to paddle than 8' tube. Look around you find someone upgrading this spring and have one to sell. Don't go for a cheap paddle, good light paddles for close to $100. Waterproof bag to store stuff, clips to fasten everything down. So when you dump you won't loss your stuff. Look at kayak shops also, so you see the difference in the plastic and the build. They have demo and last year models that needed to move cheaper. Take a class on paddling and rescue. I've had to get people back in the kayaks that have fallen out in small lakes to Lake Erie. Life jacket is not a seat cushion only works wearing it. Go out with others. Paddle the kayak if you can before you get it. They all paddle differently. Some will feel like your pushing the whole lake in front of you, other want to turn on you.
  3. Checkout our club site. You'll found a list of flies they teach in class. He will show you how to tie the fly, it's projected up on a screen. He will show you how to start the thread and then have you try to brake it. Do a whip finish. Then on to making a wooly. They do 2 flies a night. One of the biggest issues is crowding the eye. http://mvff.us/
  4. Gatlinburg very very touristy. Stocked trout in town. Get out of town lots of places to fish along river road. Go up in to elkmont, there fishing and you never been there some interesting history there. Some good books on fly fishing in the smokies, that can tell you where to go. You can get info at the fly shop in town and also check out out little River fly shop in Townsend. LR has fishing reports online. Looking for a guild lookup r&r Ian get on some fish. There are places to fish up high along rt441 on the way to the gap. Tremont good fishing good book store at the school. You can drive till the road end and fish and hike up the old road. There's a trail going off into the woods up there, that take to a old model t car. Lots to do there.
  5. Just get a set extension tube or revering ring to fit the lens you have. Tripod. Shooting for yourself or to show friends that all you need. Sunny window.
  6. Which way do you put your double fly setup together. First fly with 18" of tippet then clinch knot then 2nd fly on the end and any weight between the flies. Tie 18" tippet to the hook of the first fly and weight it between the flies if needed. Tie on dropper line for the first fly then tie 2nd on the end of tippet. What about the weight being the dropper line so it can pull off if snagged without losing the flies. You find one cast easier. Just wondering as I sit and watch the snow coming down. Barry
