I have caught some nice trout in the area by the railroad tracks in the fall of the year makes you step back and just take it in god has created when you are in area
I am 62 years old and never heard of a Hellgrammite called a grampus....down in my neck of the woods we jokingly call them "gator fleas". Is that a Tennessee thing?
@@MichaelKaal-TriFisher hi Michael I found some nice river access off of Arnold road right before you enter Erwin .hellgrammites worked well. Angelo cerra
@@MichaelKaal-TriFisher 1 train. 1 Smallmouth. lol (nice 17" on topwater, though). (fishing partner became ill and we only fished an hour. back next week)
@@MichaelKaal-TriFisher Two us us had a kayak float trip further down river Friday. I used a small spinner, top water, crawfish lures. - no action Then a Ned Rig. Smallmouth hit the Ned Rig first cast. and they especially liked the Bitsy Tube. 2 guys; over thirty smallmouth landed.

Thanks, definitely pumped about the photo. I’m going to print a few for my next art festival.
Awesome video cool picture

Great video as always sir. Those helgrammites are smallmouth candy! Hope your buddies arm/hand wasn't serious, but what a way to soldier on 🤘🤘
Thanks, I reached out to him yesterday. He says he is able to work through the pain no problem. I’m sure we’ll have another video out before too long

Yes, I believe it is an eastern Tennessee thing.
Where exactly do you access the nolichucky river, ????¿I am moving to tn from Pennsylvania,and I am very interested in fishing this river. Angelo
Hey Angelo, there are a lot of great places in Erwin Tennessee.

Try the Nikko Hellgrammites. Great baits and extremely durable.
I definitely want to try a lot of different artificial’s on the Nolichucky. Future video for sure
@@MichaelKaal-TriFisher Hiking up the tracks on Thursday to use them (and their excellent crawfish bait)...

@@MichaelKaal-TriFisher thanks,. I saw it later in the video ..those are not cheap.
@@MackinNC1 No they are not. But I think its worth it for what I do. www.michaelkaalfineart.com/
Seems like more smallmouth today.
Yeah, it was a blast. I think I could’ve caught a ton more if I had better grampus skills.
