Smokey Mountain Fly box

FAOL Community Fly Anglers Online

Hello,
I just recently found FAOL and think it’s awesome. I’m planning a trip to the Smokey Mtns. around October. I’d like some feedback about essential flies that need to be in my fly box. Any help from locals would be especially helpful.

Thanks,
Jason
