I don't know that particular stream, but I spent last weekend in the Smokies and will be back this weekend. The mountain streams all fish at least a little bit alike.
Concentrate on deep troughs and slower water pools. Sandy threw a lot of cold rain and even some snow in the very high elevations, and that cold water is running down into the streams now. The fish are a little chilled and lethargic from the downturn in temperature. Not much going on in the fast water.
We did well in the mountain rivers last weekend, but we ran into a lot of people who weren't catching anything because they were concentrating on the more "fishy" looking swift riffles and pocket water. The fast water fishes great in warmer weather but not so much right now.
