Tiny Baetis mayflies are perhaps the most commonly encountered and imitated by anglers on all American trout streams due to their great abundance, widespread distribution, and trout-friendly emergence habits.

We have had a ton of water in the Smokies the last week that have turned a lot of steams very dark with high cfs readings. I fished a smaller stream in GSMNP that was running pretty clear. Got a lot more rain Saturday and no hatch was coming off. Caught a couple of beautiful brookies on an Adams. The rain turned the fishing off and I missed a lot of strikes the rest of the day. The streams should be coming down soon and I'm looking forward to a good fall season. Hope everyone else is gearing up for the season and looking for some reports.
