Looking for Trout fishing areas

[Matt2Hunt]

I live in Knoxville and my son in Sevierville we would like to meet to fish on weekends. Any suggestions of a location to trout fish in or around either area? We haven't trout fished in years and are looking to get back into it.

Holston River below Cherokee Dam is one place for trout. Best fishing would be below Norris Dam in the Clinch River.

Thank you!

Or, the GSMNP has over 700 miles of trout water. The folks at Little River Outfitters in Townsend would be a major source of good info for you.

Clinch below Norris (jail, millers island, or around the weir) Holston Below Cherokee (Nances Ferry is the only real access), tons of small streams inside the national park

This would be my vote. They are on the small side, but no stockers.

Knoxville has a 1000 miles of trout streams within 2hr radius drive. The best fishing east of the Mississippi. It's the only reason I stayed in Knoxville with my job for 30+ years. Now I am addicted to saltwater fishing and I don't have to depend on TVA's generation schedule so that is part of the reason we are packing up for SC.

GOOD LUCK and use small tippets

I will look into it thank you.

If you like small streams... Buffalo Springs WMA. Obviously, the best day to fish is the day they stock... thinking it's Fri or Sat. Added bonus is...it's just a few minutes from Cherokee dam. Could probably hit both on same day.

When I go with my FIL out that way, we go to the Tellico river in the CNF
