techniques, secret spots, regulations and a variety of tackle

A necessity for the library of any
southern trout angler who fishes the mountains, this volume

streams: finding and rating streams; casting techniques; what
hatches to expect on small streams and when; tying flies for
small streams; and improving your success on your favorite

Fly Fishing Guide to the Great Smoky Mountains
by Don Kirk
Author of the more general Smoky
Mountains Trout Fishing Guide (now in its 7th printing), Kirk
orients this volume specifically to the needs of fly anglers.
Twice the size of his first park guide, it includes the most
comprehensive stream information in print (including the
Oconaluftee River, Eagle Creek, Raven Fork, Fontana Lake,
Chilhowee lake, Hazel Creek, Abrams Creek, Noland Creek,
Cataloochee Creek and Cheoah Lake drainages), mountain angling
tecniques, patterns and hatch information. Richly illustrated
with scores of photos and fly hatch charts.
One of those "good read"
books for enthusiasts of wild southern trout. According to The
New York Times Book Review, "This work of
homage to wild native brook trout, a seasonal journal of a
year-round fisherman, is a fishing book that never dwells on how
the hero played the big fish. Camuto makes knowing the woods and
the rivers at least as important as the fish."

A detailed, but easily read, folding

The Earth is Enough...Growing Up in a World of Flyfishing, Trout & Old Men
by Harry Middleton
It is the year 1965, a year rife with change in the world -- and in the life of a boy whose tragic loss
of innocence leads him to the healing landscape of the Ozarks. Haunted by indescribable longing, twelve-year-old
Harry is turned over to two enigmatic guardians, men as old as the hills they farm and as elusive and beautiful
as the trout they fish for -- with religious devotion. Seeking strength and purpose from life, Harry learns
from his uncle, grandfather and their crazy Sioux neighbor, Elias Wonder, that the very pulse of life beats from
within the deep constancy of the earth, and from one’s devotion to it. Amidst the rhythm of an ancient cadence,
Harry discovers his home: a farm, a forest, a mountain stream, and the eye of a trout rising.

Rivers of Memory
by Harry Middleton
Written some time after he had lost his job with Southern Living magazine and while he was working three
jobs -- at a grocery store, at a shoe factory and on a county garbage truck -- this collection of angling
essays runs the gamut from Baja to the Blue Ridge. As Nick Lyons writes in the volume’s Foreward,
"Rivers Of Memory is a short book, collected and written in a hard-luck time, fugitive essays really,
but it is an important volume by one of our finest writers."
