too much to do and too little time to do it
That goes for the food too. We ( the family ) usually go up there twice or more a year. There is lots to do like the Ripley Aquir. it is salt water only. Places to eat: Burning Bush (I use to like changed owners) ,Peddler, and Park Grill are all great places to eat at in Gburg. Down in Piegon Forge try the Ole'Mill it is great for all times of the day. The PanCake Pantry in Gburg is great for breakfast but be there early like when it opens or it is a hour or more wait.
Try wooly buggers or inline spinners for trout fishing in olive, brown, or black. Rappala bait work great too esp around where Moose was talking about but watch the regs. Several places up there are SINGLE HOOK ONLY!! and they get touch about that. Take your crappie nibblets with you the trout will eat them. Ask cross the big hill in Cherokee NC you can fish over there any time of the week and the stock it up too 3 times a week weather permitting. Fishing permits are $7 a day 10 fish limit unless they have changed this year. Or you can just go in the casnio and gambill. Just another ideal for you.
Have a great time!!
If in doubt, cross their eyes!!
