“The one that haunts me is a big brown trout in the South Holston tailwaters (Virginia/Tennessee border). He followed my offering up to the drift boat, then swam away as I spotted him.

I almost had a heart attack when I saw his size.”

I was fishing in a small stream that feeds into the tailwaters below Lake Tenkiller for rainbows. I looked up and saw a monster striper working his way thru a school of trout and heading right for me. With just a fly rod and reel and four pound test line all I could do was stand there and think about my striper rig back home.
