The Sevier County Fisherman: September 2010
http://jamesccates.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
The Sevier County Fisherman. Grinnin' like a mule eatin' saw briars.". Sunday, September 26, 2010. Not much to report, as the second verse is indeed same as the first. The water in East Tennessee is still skinny, but benefited slightly from some light rain that bumped up the CFS by a whopping 20 feet. But, 54 is better than 34, and I'm pleased to see it tick upward. Fishing with Smoky Mountain Troutfitters. Yesterday evening, I jumped Newfound Gap. To visit with John Dollar.

The Sevier County Fisherman: August 2010
http://jamesccates.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
The Sevier County Fisherman. Grinnin' like a mule eatin' saw briars.". Monday, August 30, 2010. Minute to Win It (A Condensed Version of Nearly Everything That Happened). Bradley Fork, Smoky Mountains. A 45 minute drive for fine fishing. What keeps me away? This relative after-thought offers fine fishing and a quick chance for the slam ('bow, brown, brook). Dropped them off at Smokemont, hoping my decency (really, I thought this) would bode well for fishing. Apparently it did. Saturday, August 28, 2010.

The Sevier County Fisherman: Give Me Three Steps, Mister
http://jamesccates.blogspot.com/2012/05/give-me-three-steps-mister.html
The Sevier County Fisherman. Grinnin' like a mule eatin' saw briars.". Tuesday, May 22, 2012. Give Me Three Steps, Mister. If you're from Ohio or the Northeast, probably not. But the rest of you contiguous staters, pay close attention. Number two: Fly selection. I was probably around four years old when I first saw my papaw dap a ten foot cane pole over boulders and catch 12 to 18 inch brown trout in the Smokies. Not too long after that I was tossing the micro lite spin caster, and on my 12th birthda...

Yankee: "Hahaha, yeah. I've not seen many fish.". Me: "Probably because you're fishing right behind me." (at least 20ft away). Yankee: "Well, I had one hit my Blue Wing Oliver.". Me: "Trout will do anything for you, dear, anything.". Me: "Have a nice day.". Don't hassle me, I'm a local. Thursday, March 4, 2010.

FishnDave: The "Quick Course" in Fly Casting
http://fishndave.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-quick-course-in-fly-casting.html
Mostly about fishing.maybe a few odds and ends thrown in. Monday, July 27, 2015. The "Quick Course" in Fly Casting. I had written this up for a group I plan to help learn to fly cast.either for the first time, or to help some infrequent flyfishers improve their casting. Remember, you are casting the LINE, not the lure. In order to cast the line, you load the rod and allow it to transfer that energy to the line. Keep your wrist locked in position while casting. Used in both the forward and back cast)....

The Sevier County Fisherman. Grinnin' like a mule eatin' saw briars.". Monday, February 22, 2010. And boy are my arms tired! What a weekend. Temps close to 55, water temp rising above 42. Beautiful spring day, a brief respite from the bitterly cold temperatures we've had for the past . well, seems like forever. OK, back to the flat water. It takes a long, delicate cast in flat water. And it's important to study the water from the bank, looking for the good holding spots and cruising fish. I l...The Crack...
