Little River in Great Smoky Mountains
AI-suggested draft · review before you go
The Little River within Great Smoky Mountains National Park offers classic Appalachian mountain stream fishing for wild brook and rainbow trout in a stunning natural setting. The river is entirely catch-and-release and supports self-sustaining wild trout populations. Dry fly fishing with elk hair caddis and parachute adams patterns is highly effective in summer months.
