    Details: Golden Rainbow Trout

    Little 13" rainbow I caught while floating the river with my dad on a beautiful 75° day. Only caught three because the water is warm and not oxygenated ...more from hot weather and a fall turnover on Dale Hollow. He was pretty though.

      Bass. @tacticalscissors if you're fly fishing the native rainbows and brooks are smart and will just go after dries and not streamers or nymphs

    Details: Golden Rainbow Trout

    The river was high but no current and the creek was low with no fish so I was double screwed if I fly fished, so I decided to go back to the cabin and watch basketball ...more and between games I went to the river and threw a Rebel and caught this 14" by some brush. The river is kind of dead, need to find some other species to fish until March.

    Details: Golden Rainbow Trout

    First fish on my baby that I got for Christmas. I'm gonna use it for hucking big bugs like large woolybuggers, clouser, sculpins, and carp flies. Today I had ...more to fish below the dam because of the muddy water. We fished the pool directly below Dale Hollow Dam flood gates, where monster browns get trapped. Lost a 24" brown when he snapped my line, but I caught this little rainbow after I retied.

    5. TennesseeTroutboy 0
      If you like this one (I love it) it's a Temple Fork Outfitters NXT fly reel and a Allen Prelude rod. With Blue Halo fly line @LCraig anything Allen or TFO is ...more good. The TFO BVK rod and Allen compass at
