Caught this little brownie in Cong Ireland (where they filmed John Wayne's The Quiet Man) off a 15th century Abbey friar's fishing shack.

This one's simple.
 
*Show us your fishing photos.*
 
Fish. Water. Bugs. Boats. Rods. Flies. Landscapes. Fishing buddies. Bad
weather. Good dogs. Weird things you found along the river.
 
Professional camera, phone camera, disposable camera—we don't care.
 
No story or explanation required. Just post a photo you like.
 
Of course, if there's a story behind it, tell us. And if you see a photo
you're curious about, ask.
 
Otherwise, we'll let the pictures do the talking.

That's awesome Daniel! I'm sure BWCA is on a lot of people's bucket list.
Would you go back?

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} South Holston TN

A mile or so downstream from the dam around the bend there is a stretch of water that sulfurs hatch literally all day after water releases. Emergers and drys work, but drys tied with cdc are the most fun. There is a fairly large parking lot close to the area. Easy wading when water is not running.

Good to know. I am staying a bit downstream of Big Spring. I should have some wading time in the morning. I think I'll strap my kayak to the roof. 
Thank you Henry.

I am up here now.  If you're planning on wading, there is a small window in the morning before the water gets too high.  That's been the pattern lately but check the latest release schedule.  Small size 18 - 20 black and olive midges have worked well.

Hello, I am heading to the South Holston river outside Bristol, TN this weekend. I've done my research on their local fly shop sites and have their recommended flies. 
Does anyone here have any of their own tips if they have visited this river? Thanks, Ted.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Somebody asked about...

..the guy in a kilt who used to demonstrate spey-casting at fly fishing shows in the DC area.

I finally remembered his name: Philip Krista.
