Fishing in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park is the perfect way to enjoy the outdoors in an inexpensive way. Before heading out there are a few guidelines that you should know. If you catch a brook trout, rainbow trout, brown trout, or small-mouth bass that is smaller than 7 inches, you must immediately return it to the water. There is no size limit on rockbass. Fishing is permitted by the use of one hand-held rod. Only artificial flies or lures with a single hook may be used. Dropper flies may be used, but only up to two flies on a leader. You cannot use any artificial scents, minnows, worms, corn, cheese, bread, salmon eggs, pork rinds, or natural baits found along the stream. For more information or to talk to a ranger, call (865) 436-1294.
