    If you're going up 81 you'd be crazy not to stop and fish the Clinch river and Holston river right past the Tennessee line. Holston is the best smallmouth fishing in the area and the clinch for multispecies is unbeatable.

      He sure did! They're nice and Bronx, with vertical bars on the sides, and, generally speaking, give ya more of a spirited fight than, say, a Largemouth Bass will, although a Largemouth Bass can still pack more in the way of a stubborn, bullheaded kind of a fight.

    I don't use soft plastics, but mainly fish for salmonids. But 2 great all purpose lures are Worden's Rooster Tails in Grey Minnow and Salmon fly- 1/4 or 1/2 I use but I'm fishing the Great Lakes/Niagara River. Grey Minnow is white tail dressed/silver Blade and Salmon fly brown/gold blade. They have smaller sizes but I want Steelhead/Browns/Smallmouth.
