February 2008
Mark and Judy,
There is only one word for our weekend fishing trip this past weekend. Awesome, awesome and awesome!!! We thought we were hooked on fly fishing but after this weekend, we are truly hooked now! An absolutely awesome fishing experience with perfect weather and a whole lot of big fish. I don’t think I have ever been that worn out from catching fish before and I know that Christine has never worn herself out fishing like that before. You will never know how much we appreciate the fishing experience, the patience and the absolutely wonderful hospitality. Judy, the food was absolutely fantastic and a real testament to your obvious culinary talents. We can’t thank you enough for your hospitality and for the opportunity to get to know you. Mark, your fishing expertise is second to none and your guiding is the best I have ever experienced. We both deeply appreciate your time, the experience of catching a lot of really big rainbows and getting to know both of you better. We are already trying to figure out when we can come back and do it again. Thank you both from the bottom of our hearts for an awesome Valentine’s trip! We will say it again, one of the best kept fly fishing secrets there is! Thank you both again!!
Tight lines and God Bless!
Mike and Christine
Dear Mark,
Sorry for the delay in getting this to you but I wanted to thank you again for the wonderful time my wife and I had fishing with you this past Feb. Your guidance and knowledge in helping two beginners was most appreciated and made for a very relaxing and enjoyable trip. The hot lunch you had ready for us when we first arrived and the wonderful food your wife prepared was top notch. Your place was beautiful and you made us feel at home right away. I especially enjoyed the trip into the park and when I stood there in the steam with no one around casting all by myself with the snow lightly falling thought the trees around me I hadn’t a care in the world and didn’t want to leave. I still cant believe how you were able to find us fish in areas that I would have bet any amount that there wasn’t a fish in a hundred yards. Your are an excellent guild and host and we look forward to fishing with you again.

Hello Mark and Judy,
I had to take a minute to e-mail to you guys and say thank-you, thank-you, thank-you for the most memorable birthday I've had in a long time. We ripped the lips off some fish this trip. I have never caught a 20 inch rainbow before. It was awesome. The whole trip was amazing!!! I know we landed at least 50-60 fish the whole trip and the weather was definitely on our side.
Of course I could not go without mentioning the wonderful meals and oh gosh! Prime Rib?!!!!It was out of this world. Of course you know it was my 40th birthday and I felt very very special to have spent it with you guys. The strawberry cake was awesome!!!
Thanks again for the best trip yet. We have made several trips up and this by far has topped them all.
See you guys soon, take care and keep fishing!!!!!Cathy V.
Mark,
WOW! What a weekend! If I close my eyes, I can still feel the pull of the line and the splash of the water, and oh yeah, let's not forget the sting of the snow. What a time Caleb and I had, not only as a father and son outing, but a great fishing trip. You know we thought we had been with a guide until we hooked up with you. Again, we want to say thank you for your patience and understanding with two novice fly fishermen. You took extremely good care of myself even knowing my health conditions. Your concern was very admirable. Caleb is still calling each night and talking about the big fish he caught, the ones that got away, and the ones he should have caught. I sit and listen as I try to put in my side of the story of how many big ones I caught, I don't think he cares. Again, it was a great time. We appreciate you letting us go, and look forward to fishing again in the future. Can't wait to see the pictures that we took! If you don't send them soon, I think Caleb will track you down and pick them up himself !!!
Your fly fishing friends,
T.and C.Newell
We are pleased to be able offer to you a Fly Fishing getaway like no other. Nestled high in the Mountains overlooking Gatlinburg, you have an unobstructed view of Mt. Le Conte, elevation 6,595 feet. You can wake up each morning and go out on your private screened-in deck and have coffee and watch the sunrise. Then we are off to breakfast at one of Gatlinburg's many superb restaurants. After a full breakfast, we head to the Park for a full day of fishing like you have never experienced before. The Smoky Mountains offer peace and quiet while at the same time the opportunity to fish for wild trout. After a full morning of fishing, lunch is served streamside. Then we are back to finish the day with the afternoon and evening rise. Once our fishing day is done, it is back to the lodge to unwind, clean up and prepare for a scrumptious meal served by my wife who is a graduate of the Viking School of Cooking. You can expect meals that could prime rib, filet mignon, crab legs and scallops. Special meal requests such as Lobster or Beef Wellington can be priced separately. After dinner, we can relax next to the fireplace or sit outside by the pool. The outdoor hot tub is also available and it is open from May through November.
