Our trip to Cataloochee was a great success. I managed 4 brook trout and one rainbow on Caldwell branch. I missed many others due to lack of experience and one for poor knot tying. I also lost many flies (12+) in only about 7 hours of fishing. Fish were biting on both red and yellow humpy's, and royal coachman's. Size seemed to be more important than color or pattern.
My son caught a monster brookie on a Trout magnet.
All in all a great trip considering this was only my third trip out with flyrod in hand.
