That is the Hiwasee river. We also fished the Tellico and North. In Arkansas we fish the Little Red mainly. World.class.stream. But one thing we have to watch in the Tennessee/Arkansas area with our rivers is the dam generation schedules and rapid water risings. Have to know when to get out..........or else!! Can be very, very dangerous.
Folks that aren't used to fishing below dams, well, it's an experience when that water comes up!

The Hiawasee is a beautiful river - we used to float the Tellico in inner tubes as a boy scout. Just beautiful country. I get nostalgic for it, until the temps hit what they do in the summer there and we are cycling in sunny 75 degree weather out here. But I would love to do a fishing/cycling vacation to East TN or Western NC. Beautiful country.
