So my question is divided into 3 parts.
1. What are some good local places(in the chattanooga/hixson area) where I can go to get some good practice fly fishing?(presumably I would mostly catch brim)
2. What are some good places on the Hiwassee river that I could practice catching some trout? What are some places where I am most likely to have success?
3. What are some places I should on my to do list to go practice, or take a trip to fly fish in tennessee? What are some places that I can have a good time?
I do not currently have waders(I am not opposed to wading in wet, but with the colder weather it is not that great of a idea), and I prefer to fish without a water craft.
I know the N chickamauga creek would be a good place to practice, but in the area near the blue hole, I did not see any fish when I went hiking there.(other wise It seems like it would be a great place to practice, as it has conditions that would be similar to the hiwassee.) Also it is quite difficult to fly fish at all on the lower end of the creek, as there are tons and tons of branches everywhere to get snagged on.
So has anyone ever had any success catching anything(other than the trout that are stocked in the late winter/early spring) on the N chick?
Where would just be a good place where I could practice locally, just to practice catching fish, and casting, and handleing the line?
