An East Tennessee Gathering

[pillcaster]

Anyone checking the Little River Fishing Reports? The water temps are down in the mid 60's and they had almost an inch of rain the 8th. Water levels and flows are still below average. More rain is expected this Friday and Saturday with temps in the low to mid 80's it's looking good!

Site for water flows, looks decent, at least compared to the Shenandoah now; water is so low not even the guides are making float trips.

I hope someone is planning on taking photos and doing a story on the "Gathering" for your little old home website FAOL. Right?

LadyFisher,
I was saving up for a new digital camera. (the old one got wet ) But I'm thinking my camera money will get spent at little river outfitter's on fly tying stuff. I'm sure someone will have a camera though.

Save your money for Little River Outfitters... I've got a camera.

[Jack Hise]

I've got 2!

We will have 2 there also, as well as a former 'Photo Geek" who is pursuing Photography again after a 20 year "Burnout" period

Hey guys I am sorry to say this but work just canceled all vacation through Nov so I will not be able to attend

[bdesavage]

DANG IT TIM...We will miss YOU!

[hungNtree]

OH NO, I was looking forward to meeting you Tim. I'd tell you to call in sick, but I've always been afraid to do that, cause if I did I'd wind up sick.

I hope this will help someone out on this trip. I just finished reading Little River Outfitter's fishing reports from October of LAST year. Assuming that this year is similar in weather and water conditions and all of that stuff, they mostly reccommended an orange dry fly, either a Caddis or some sort of stimulator, with a green weenie dropped down below. Also terrestrials, mostly ants. Anyway, those were the reccommendations from last year at the same time period. I wanted to post this so that if some of you other guys have the same goals for this trip that I do.

Speaking of goals, I have 3 goals for this trip:
1. See some good friends from here that I've already met, and intro my family to them.
2. Meet and make some more friends from here, that I can introduce myself and my family too.
3. Catch a brookie, preferably on a fly that I've tied.

If I can do the first 2 goals, this trip will be a great success for me, if I can do the 3rd goal, that'll be icing on the cake.
