Give me a holler sometime and we'll take my canoe out. In our part of the state we've got the Clinch River below Norris dam for trout and the Nolichucky for smallmouth and everything else. Haven't floated the Holston yet, but I've heard that the smallmouth fishing there is nothing short of phenomenal.

Lots of places to go and I've only scratched the surface in the two years that I've lived here.

Thanks Don,

I will look up your town and see where you are exactly. I have a few weeks of busy coming up but then I think I have a week or so open before my friends are scheduled to come visit me from out west.

I use to Canoe in Oregon when I was younger ... I am looking for a sit on top Kayak now because it would also give me some exercise and get me on the water.

Appreciate the offer.

Tom

You're welcome, Tom. We're just northwest of Knoxville, right off the junction of state route 170 (Edgemoor/Raccoon Valley Rd.) and U.S. 25W (Clinton Hwy.). Guessing we're about 3 - 3 1/2 hours from you.

I'm thirty minutes from 2 different put-ins on the Clinch River (15 minutes from the take-out) and an hour or so from the Nolichucky River where my friend John (Wonderworker here on CS) and I put in to float last week. (He caught a smallmouth that weighed out at just over 4 pounds!)

I'm a truck driver, so I'm gone during the week, but Saturday is usually good.

Oh, and Walmart has a really nice 16', three seat canoe that one guy can handle by himself. It runs about $400.00 give or take and beats hell out of a kayak for fishing/hauling fishing gear. *(Mine's a 16' two-seater.)

Look forward to hearing from you!

Thanks I will look into it. I was just a Wear Valley . Some friends and I rented a cabin out there. They live in Athens. I see your into the mountain man thing. I had another friend from Alabama who did that and attended those outing or potlatches what ever they call them. Looked like it was a lot of fun...
