Gatlinburg waters will be the first area we cover here in the magazine. If you are going to fish in Gatlinburg, and we think it is a great idea to do that, you need to know where exactly to fish. WHAT areas fall under the City of Gatlinburg's jurisdiction. They have a very active stocking and breeding program, and have a special licensing permit requirement that goes to partially fund that program.
Fishing is permitted with single hook only and with no more than one hand-held rod.
