Watauga River Fishing Report

The TVA has been running water all week, but down worry. The fish are still hungry. Nymph fishing is bringing good numbers of fish to the boat and afternoon dry fly fishing has been a bonus. We’re seeing sulphurs around 2 o’clock. The dry fly pattern is not as important as your drift. Fish have been eating a few different dry fly patterns, but the drift needs to be spot on. Any drag and the fish will rise and refuse your fly. It’s been another great week of fishing. We have lower water in the prediction later this week. We’ll see how that plays out and if it has any effect on the sulphur hatch. If you are interested in a trip, feel free to drop us a line. We’d love to get you out on the water.

Tight Lines,

Huck
