I see the strangest posts coming from the Cherokee. First of all the permit situation is a mess, far more than what I care to figure out. The bag limits are a liberal 10 fish per person per day. Seems like people that can't catch a cold or their asses with two hands fish there because the holes are packed with trout. The Indians have hatcheries and stock ponds also that have a NO catch and release, almost like hatchery fishing. Thanks for the advice but may skip it and try the Smith and the Catawba.
