Every October, I get together with some college buddies for a trout fishing trip to the South Holston River near Bristol, TN. Normally this is a camping trip right on the river but we no longer have access to our normal spot for reasons that are too long to get into. So this time we rented a house, which turned out to be pretty nice - and a lot easier. Although the camping was out, we were still able to fish the same water we usually do.
And the fishing was pretty good.
One night a year we keep some fish for a trout dinner. We're normally all catch and release but this river has something like 7000 fish per mile, so I don't think we can hurt it. And they taste good, so...
Some more scenery.
My buddies work friend caught his first trout on a fly.
And we all caught some pretty nice fish.
Until next fall. Or Spring if we can make it happen.

I've never fished the South Holston myself but I have a few friends that make the trip there to fish it every year. From what I hear it's a fabulous fishery.
