Back this past April my good buddy and guide Jeff Barrett and I went over the the Smokies to be river helpers for the CFR event. We left a day early to do a little fishing ourselves. Neither of us had ever fished Greenbriar so we decided it was about time. Weather was nice. A few bugs hatched - mostly small stoneflies - and the fish were taking dries. I fished my AJ Thramer 7 1/2' 4 wt DX taper. I've come to love this rod for small stream fishing. It can throw a dry/dropper combo without any problem and is just just a joy to cast.
It was a great day. All we caught were rainbows but no complaints. We never got up high enough to get into brookie water. We saved that for next time.
