An East Tennessee Gathering

[Jack Hise]

Kaboom1 (Brad Sherrick), FatBill (Bill Horner), Warren Patterson (WarrenP) and myself, Jack Hise, will be getting together in Townsend, Tennessee on Oct. 8th-10th to fish the Little River and the Great Smoky Mnts. National Park. All are invited to join us and wet a line in one of the most beautifull areas in North America!

We plan to stay at Dock's Motel on the Little River as I have stayed there and will never again refer anyone to a place I have not stayed! Did that once and I was lucky my friends forgave me for that one!!

This is in prelude to holding a future FAOL Fish-In there for our South East members. Sort of a scouting trip to feel out the area.

Super Duper and go for it! Please contact me for some suggestions on some things to keep in mind for a successful happy Fish-In.
Hugs,
LF

While I am not the most social person in the world (wife will vouch for that) I would seriuosly consider this event. I have been a lurker/member of FAOL for a a number of years. Perhaps it is time to do some socializing. We have vacationed in Townsend for the better part of 17 years (our first vacation when we were married) it is a great place.

Please keep me (all of us) posted on this event.

Jack,

I mentioned this to Don today and he said he was interested in going too. We just may pull this off and have a great time.

I will be checking the area out as well Aug 21-28th. Although the fishing may not be good in the heat, I will certainly consider attending a Fish In there at an alternate time.

Sounds good to me, Jack! Not that I've learned how to catch 'em, but I do know a few spots thereabouts.

Jack,

This just keeps getting better!!

I'm told that October is a very mild month in Townsend. The average high is 70 with a low of 42 and only 2.9" of rain making it the drier of the 12.

I'm only familiar with Dock's Motel. A very nice place with easy river access. After the 2006 Michigan Fish-In faux paux with the not to be mentioned lodge I will not advise on places to stay that I have not stayed in myself. Maybe Bob and John can help out here.
