Don will do anything he can to keep from paying his contributors. Do yourself a favor and send your articles elsewhere.

According to 2 different flyshops in the Cherokee NC area, those rivers have not been stocked for 20 years since the federal hatchery on Bradley Fork was closed.

On the previous comment about “not paying contributors.” Don contracted me to cartoon and illustrate for BowMasters…I was ALWAYS paid promptly!

Anyway the Book is outstanding as with anything Don Kirk writes and cant wait till the next revision of this Book which I and many others consider the bible for Trout Fishing in the Smokey Mountains

Mark Rasnakeon 31 Dec 2009 at 5:07 pm 5This book has provided me with a great deal of useful information on fishing in the park. It covers everything from streams to fish in, patterns to use, and the aesthetics of the area you will fish in. Kirk has done a fine job of rating the relative merits of each of the streams and rivers in the park. His history of the area adds to the experience of fishing these waters. This book is a must for anyone wanting to fish the Smokies.
