The good folks over at Smoky Mountain News asked me to cover opening morning of trout season in Cherokee. There are a string of ponds over there next to the KOA campground that are heavily stocked prior to opening day. I have never seen so many stringers full of fish! It is shoulder to shoulder but everyone is having a good time and taking home dinner. I also did some shooting on the trophy trout section of Ravens Fork where a 20+ inch trout seems to be the norm!
