On Wednesday, May 23, 2012; Jim and Judy left the timeshare in Sevierville, TN by 10 AM traveling over the Great Smoky Mountains, through North Carolina, Athen, GA to Macon and to Valdosta. It took 10.5 hrs. There was a 40 minute delay going to the top of the Smokies because they are repaving the road. We stopped at a Wendy’s in Clayton, GA for a small lunch, and in Vienna, GA at a Huddle House for a quick supper. It was good to arrive home around 8:30 PM.

Great Smoky Mountains Fishing Regulations

Image by J. Stephen Conn
An astounding 2,115 miles of rivers and streams are within the boundaries of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. All but a very few of these (posted to protect endangered species) are open to fishing every day from 30 minutes before official sunrise to 30 minutes after official sunset.

Season: Open Year Round
Bait: Artifical lures and flies with a single hook
Size: Rainbow or Brook Trout 7"
Redeye (Rock Bass) no size limit
Bass 7"
Limit: Combined total of five fish per day
License: A valid TN or NC fishing license is required. Temporary permits for visitors are available from sporting goods stores, Gatlinburg City Hall, or Ace Hardware on Hwy. 321.

Possession of the endangered Brown Trout is prohibited.

Streams within the National Park are not stocked, but according to the NPS most of them remain at near their capacity for fish. I have seen some impressive catches while backpacking in the more remote regions. Streams just outside the park, especially in Cherokee and Gatlinburg, are stocked frequently.
