Palmer Creek, Cataloochee
Today we took a trip into Cataloochee to fish Palmer Creek. First we hiked up to Lost Bottom Creek but then dropped back down to just above where Pretty Hollow Creek comes into Palmer. On Lost Bottom I was about to wade through a pool to head upstream and was stopped in my tracks. A very nice brookie was finning in the pool just a couple feet away. Maybe it was just used to people because it didn’t even move (neither would it eat a fly, so I couldn’t catch it.) The colors on the brook trout really look great this time of year.
