You Ask "Why go to Townsend in May"?

Well, if the scenery of the Great Smoky Mountains Park is not enough, there is the Troutfest 2009 that will be held in Townsend Tennessee on May 15, 16 and 17. Troutfest is a Fly Fishing Exposition and Fundraiser with all profits earned from the event minus some seed money for next year’s event are donated to Great Smoky Mountains National Park Fisheries Department for brook trout restoration and other fisheries projects in the park. The Little River Chapter of Trout Unlimited sponsers the event.
This year the event will be one of the largest venues for fly anglers in the Southeast United States. In 2009 Great Smoky Mountains National Park is celebrating its 75th anniversary, and the park has sanctioned Troutfest 2009 as a special 75th event. The month of May is prime time for fishing in the Smokies so you will want to set aside some time to be on the streams. Located in Tuckaleechee Cove, Townsend is known as the "Peaceful Side of the Smokies."
