The rivers have been fishing great! Last week we floated the Watauga river and the South Holston river. The TVA had flows up and down last week. Last Monday had one full day of high water on the Watauga. The nymph bite was outstanding. Lots of fish to the boat with the biggest measuring just over 17 inches. The next day the TVA sluiced 1000cfs on the South Holston. The fishing was incredible. Nymph fishing was some of the best fishing I’ve ever seen. Sulphurs hatched all afternoon which lead to awesome dry fly fishing. The rest of the week was a mixture of low and high water on the Watauga. Both fished well. When the water came up each day we would give it about a half hour to clear up then get back to fishing. Looks like we are going to have high water for the foreseeable future. With sulphurs hatching in the afternoons it’s a great time to fish. Give us a call if you’d like to get out on the water.
