R & R Fly Fishing

We're fly fishing guides & writers who work on the rivers and streams around the Smoky Mountains in East Tennessee and Western North Carolina.

@Gettinbent1 Had a Quill Gordon in mind but they're all a bit similar

A few days off from guiding fly fishers in the Smokies has given me some time in the art studio to put some things on paper I've seen this season.

A little quiet time with the watercolor markers this morning

The train that derailed today on the Clark Fork River spilled hundreds of cases of beer and the Missoulian’s Ben Smith got this legendary photo

We can see Cove Mountain from our back deck. Above Wears Valley only a few miles out of Townsend. And it blew exceptionally hard here today!

[NWS Morristown @NWSMorristown]

Strong winds continue this evening, especially in northeast Tennessee and southwest Virginia. Here is a listing of the highest recorded gusts so far. Cove Mountain recorded an impressive 98 mph. #tnwx #ncwx #vawx #mrxwx

Afternoon doodle with the watercolor marker. X-Caddis, one of my favorites during caddis hatches.

Award-winning novelists Annette Saunooke Clapsaddle and Richard Powers live on opposite sides of the Smokies, but soon the two will converge to help create the first-ever Tremont Writers Conference, to be held October 25-29: https://t.co/c8DLoyDcm7

Morning session in the studio painting in the art journal, then an afternoon on the trout stream with my valentine

Did that tarpon again, but this time did it on blue toned paper with watercolor marker and white gouache. Which do you prefer?

@RobReid30 Me too!

No idea what the velocity has been but we've had some scary gusts here in Townsend.

[WBIR Weather @WBIRWeather]

Winds are really starting to pick up. Seeing over 80mph gusts in the mountains and almost 40mph gusts in the valley. Secure any loose outdoor objects. These gusty winds will be sticking around this afternoon.

Prescribed burns planned in Cades Cove area starting Feb. 13 https://t.co/vMyfvMSZ60
