Jim Gasque's classic 1948 work offers a period portrait of outdoor
life in the Great Smoky Mountains. Filled with anecdotes, fishing
and hunting stories, and recollections of legendary local sportsmen
and guides, "Hunting and Fishing in the Great Smokies" presents a
social history of these activities before the founding of the Great
Smoky Mountains National Park in 1934. The book also offers an
insightful glimpse of the region just prior to an era of
significant development and growth.
Gasque's guide covers trout streams and trout fishing, lake
fishing, and hunting. Thanks to careful preservation by the park,
the streams Gasque describes still draw sportsmen today. His tips
on prime fly-fishing spots are remarkably up to date and remain
valuable for twenty-first-century anglers. Hunting is now
prohibited within the park, but in surrounding areas it is still
common.
Jim Casada's introduction for this new edition provides a
biographical profile of Gasque, puts the hunting and fishing ethics
of the period into perspective for today's sportsmen, and offers
Casada's thoughts on fishing in the park as it exists today.
