Watauga River Fly Fishing Report by Watauga River Guides
June 26 2017
Fishing has been absolutely great on the Watauga river! The flows are perfect. We're getting a lot of fish to hand. Mostly nymphing, but we are getting some fish up on dries. Beetles, sulphurs, and caddis are getting taken on the surface. Give us a call today, if you would like to book a trip.

After over a month of high water we are finally seeing some low water flows on the Watauga river, and the fish are chewing! We caught good numbers of fish nymphing as well as on dries today. High water fishing has been good, but it was a welcomed change to fish low water.

We are still experiencing high water conditions. That's not what you want to hear if you are a wade fisherman, but floating high water has been great. Deep nymph fishing has been the way to go for the majority of the day. Sulphurs are hatching and we are getting some dry fly fishing in. Not huge hatches, but enough to get fish rising.

We are still seeing high water on the Watauga river. That's not necessarily a bad thing. The deep nymph fishing has been good. And, we are seeing more and more sulphurs. There are a couple of spots in the late afternoon where fish are rising to sulphur duns. Size 16 and 18 sparkle duns have been working well.
