Guys I'm not making this one up I promise. www.knoxnews.com/news/2010/apr/22/rock-snot-algae-threat-to-fish-in-tennessee/How do you tell it apart from the other river slime? I'm serious. On the Clinch about 2 miles below the dam is an area long time known as The Slime Hole. It's about a half mile of deep still water. If you fish bottom on the river you will get slime and it's been that way as long as I've been fishing any of them below a dam.

I`d say that`s what it is below Norris. From what I read it`s hit just about all the trout rivers.

Pappy told me this one is a bit different. Regular river slime is green. This has a more brown tint to it.

ok. I don`t know. From the article it doesn`t hurt the fish although it may affect eggs.

I don't think the fish reproduce much in the rivers anyway to be honest.

Yea the waters a lot more suitable. Rivers on dammed streams have too much water flow and level variation in too short a time.

one of the reason for stocking and size slots. Some will spawn but not enough to maintain fishing pressure.

I've seen trout in the creek up as far as Pappy's but not many.
