Fishing bug has bitten me

[gomerpyle]

Ok, with the weather getting nicer everyday the fishing bug has bitten me. One little problem, most if not all of my old spots have been sold and now are peoples yards, or access has been closed by TVA. What I'm wanting to know is if any of you fine folks out there know of any good places to go in south east Tennessee or western North Carolina. I'm not asking you to give up your pride and joy of spots, just a few ideas of where I can go.

Cataloochee River-Smokey Mt Nat'l park, Nantahalla River-but get out when ypu hear the siren announcing a release from the dam-it rises fast! A lot of good fishing in and around Fontana lake-some it can be hard to get to. Wilson's creek at Grandfather Mt, White Top Laurel (creek?) near Abingdon,VA, there is another in ETN that a friend of mine used to go on float trips down -I can't remember the name... These are all trout streams and are great for fly fishing or ultralight gear.
