Little Pigeon 6-17 Smallmouth

[WS6Clint]

Went up to Sevierville again yesterday. Water was WAAAAAY down. Only at about 120cfs and 1.75ft. Needing some rain bad. Fishing wasn't great. Caught all the fish on Rebel Wee Craws. Had a few chase a Tiny Torpedo but no takers. Did have a nice 18"-19" fish throw me. My fault, had my drag too tight, it was straight downstream from me, and instead of walking to it I was trying to bring it to me. Get a "F" in fish landing on that one. Here's the onlt pic I got.

I have been doing the rain dance for a while now. I am waiting for the Emory/Obed to get some water in it so I can canoe it. It is only flowing at 50 cfs, which means alot of dragging the canoe. If you get a chance, try the Emory/Obed for smallmouths. It can be really productive at times, that is if there is water in it.

Nice fish and pic there Clint. Looks like one of those free stone rivers up North or out west. emoLaugh Just smallies instead of trout.

The mouths on most of the ones we caught were tore up. They are definatly digging under rocks for crawdads. Saw a few 19"-20" fish with their tails out of the water digging.

On hindsight we probably should have walked down stream and fished back up, throwing tubes in front of us and dragging them back. The fish just were not wanting to chase anything.
