Hey Y'awl Migrating from Seattle to Eastern Tennessee

This blog looks like fun...anticipate learning a lot

On our way to Eastern TN. Can't wait to jump on some browns from the Watauga and Holston rivers down there.  Pretty excited to check out the Smokey's, Telico Plains, the Nolichuckey, and the trout steams in the National Parks.  I told my wife she can pick the house, as long as I have a garage, a fly tying room, and I pick the location. On the 24th, we shove off for Chuckey, which is just South of the Tri-cities.

Welcome to the board, Phil.  Can't help you with fly fishing East Tennessee, even though I spent almost 5 years at college in West Tennessee.  Long  before I started fly fishing.  No trout in that part of the state.  One thing, it's "y'all".  Maybe someone on the board knows how to tie the Yallerhammer.  It's a local fly some folks I met years later liked to fish in the Appalachian streams.  Have fun running the ridges for trout.  Watch out for the copperheads.

 Welcome. You list some great places for trout. Go to www.tu.org and locate the closest Trout Unlimited chapter. Worthwhile for a few bucks. Been a member for about 28 years. PM if I can help.

Welcome to the site!  A born and bred central NYer here.  Benn tying for over 50 years and hosting swaps for the past 11.  I hope that we cross paths here!

Welcome to the site, Phil.  Y'all should have a lot of fun investigating new places near your new home.  I hope the gas prices level or fall, so you can afford to drive to places not so near, too.

Expanding on Philly's post:  "Y'all" is singular ... when talking to or about one person.  "All y'all" is plural.  citing Jeff Foxworthy.
