Smallmouths on the fly

Nothing big but a lot of fun. Kentucky's, smallmouth and bluegill. Shoulder is killing me.

2 o'clock from the launch ramp at Elm Hill, there is a big island. A guy was telling me he slayed the largemouth early morning and late afternoon on a Hula-Popper this past weekend. I don't even own a Hula-Popper any more.

May be I missed it ... I am old you know But knowing what body of water your on would help when making a report ... ... Like JPP, OH , KY Lake, Harpeth water shed, Duck ...etc ... And you can lie about that But ... That info should be in the header of any fishing report !! Good or Bad ... <TK><

I am assuming its a small creek, and we have been told numerous times to withhold letting out creek names so they don't get over fished.

Yes this subject has been tossed around for decades ... And I understand everyone for wanting to protect a creek or small stream ... It is like the Caney Fork ... If I see a Pic of the first 8 miles or the last 8 miles you won't have to tell me what body of water your on ... (by the way it is 28 miles long from the Dam) ...

Alphahawk (as well as many other members) has always stated in every report, He has ever given where he caught his fish... His Option ...

When I was guiding ... It was in the Cumberland River chain ... I did not say it was the down stream end of Deer Island for that particular day ...

This is my point on this subject ... FishingTN.com is a community service for Middle Tennessee .. We are renowned for our Forum Page and friendly Members who coach and help upcoming fisherman from our youth to a senior who wants to restrike and old love, desire and sport since He has retired ...

So If you have a honey stream that runs a few miles from your House great .. And If you don't want to give out that information publicly on the forum, that is your purgative ,and I know some, PM special friends .. Great .. ... ... But helpful info for the youngster and the oldster might give them a flame to search out to our great sport of Fishing or rekindle it ... Especially if they might live near the area that was posted ...

Examples .. If the youth or Senior reads the post .. Of such a great day that Gook had ... The youngster is pumped especially if he is learning how to Fly fish and the Senior is dusting of the dust from his 50 year old bamboo Orvis ..

So I guess what I am saying is That a little info like .. " a tributary off of the Cumberland in Smith and DeKalb county "... "The Duck River Water shed" ... or .. something like " Did good in a little stream in Western Davidson County Today" ... This will excite the ones who want to search out and learn or refresh so they can have as good of a day as you had ... <'TK><

Man that looks like fun. I haven't really broke my flyrod out much this year at all.

Remember TK, I was scolded pretty good by someone after posting a report about taking a 6 year old fishing in a river that I did name. That was about a year and a half ago. http://fishingtn.com/showthread.php?t=4247. Haven't posted a fishing report about that river since then. Let's just say somewhere in South Western Davidson County. Be glad to answer location through PM.

Gook, I'm glad you found that thread ... Man time flies (No pun intended ) That thread was posted June of 2011 ... 3 Years ago ... Yes there is pros and cons on this subject and each of them all have a different perspective ... It is kind of like Catch and Release or take home for supper ...

It was a great post and Pic's ... All members Continue to Spread your wealth of Fishing Information, everything is optional and up to you what you feel comfortable with .... This what FishingTN is all about .... <'TK><
