Fly Fishing Cosby Creek Tennessee
(GSMNP)
If you like fishing a small stream that is away from the
crowds of the larger communities and most tourist, try
Cosby Creek. It is an easy and delightful little stream to
fish. It is located in a fairly remote section on the north
end of the park near a community where moonshine was
more plentiful than the water in Cosby Creek at one
time. Now it is one of the fastest growing areas
surrounding the park. It is a great place to take
youngsters who are learning to fish. The trout are fairly
easy to catch.
Cosby Creek may have some traffic and it may have a
crowded campground at times, but it's not usually
crowded from a fishing standpoint. Its headwaters want
be crowded for certain. Rock Creek, Inadu, Toms and
Crying Creek are all very small brook trout streams in
the headwaters.
All but some of the lower areas of the stream are tightly
enclosed with tree limbs. It is fairly easy to get around in
the lower part of the stream below the campground.
Much of it can be fished from the banks although
keeping your fly out of the trees and bushes isn't exactly
easy. It has some beautiful short runs and a few riffles.
Its pools are usually full of trout.
Seasons:
All the streams in Great Smoky Mountains National Park
(except those closed for special projects) are open to
fishing year-round.
Spring:
Springtime is a great time to fish this little trout stream.
Summer:
The headwaters are the best choice for summertime
fishing on Cosby Creek.
Fall:
Fall is certainly the most beautiful time to fish the
stream. The fish are always very responsive and dry fly
fishing is usually great.
Winter:
Trout can be caught on all but the coldest winter days.
