Fishing Tips: (Hopefully I can report back the summer of 2008.)
Favorite lures or bait: Use small lures such as Kastmasters, Daredevils and Panther-Martins. Bring smaller lures, but have a variety of color combinations to entice both shallow and deep cruising trout. (See Category: Fishing Tips – Best Lures and Bait)
Favorite fly patterns: Fly & Bubble technique with small nymphs such as Hare’s Ear, Zug Bug, Bead-Head Prince Nymph, Pheasant Tail or a Tellico Shrimp. (See Category: Fishing Tips – Best Fly Patterns and Techniques)
Stocking information: Stocking programs were discontinued in 1991.
Additional information: It is not uncommon for hikers living at lower elevations to experience aching lungs, headaches and nausea due to altitude sickness. Be sure to drink plenty of purified or filtered water all day on the trail whether you are thirsty or not. Bring along sun screen, sun glasses, a hat and an outer garment. Additionally, I always recommend carrying in your day pack a first aid kit, a plastic rain coat and a mosquito net just in case.
