We have had some crazy weather this week. Sunny and 65 one day. Then snowing and 30 the next. This weather hasn’t slowed JJ down though, he’s been out there throwing streamers. He’s not only throwing streamers, they have been catching some really nice brown trout. Streamers aren’t the only thing producing though. He’s also doing really well on nymph rigs. He has fished every inch of the river from top to bottom this week and has dialed in the areas where the streamer bite is the best. If you are interested in booking a trip feel free to email us at wataugariverguides@gmail.com or give us a call at (704)773-4497.
Watauga River Fly Fishing Report
Hello everyone, We hope that you are all doing well and enjoying this warmer weather. JJ has been taking advantage of it for sure. He has been doing well on this 1600cfs flow with streamers. He said that he has been doing well with nymph rigs as well. We’ve been getting a lot of questions about the caddis hatch. We’ve been telling everyone to be ready in April. Every year is a little different, but historically it starts around April 9th. We will keep the reports updated to keep everyone informed. JJ still has some openings in April if you want to get on the books. I will leave you with a nice brown from this JJ’s boat this week
Watauga River Fly Fishing Report 12-4-2024
Hello everyone, it’s been awhile since we wrote a fishing report for the Watauga. For that I apologize. First things first. The Watauga river still hasn’t cleared up from hurricane helene. The river still has a brown color. It’s a slight improvement over the last few weeks, but it’s not running clear yet. With that being said. JJ has been spending his time adapting to the river conditions. His efforts have been producing fish for his clients. Today was no different. They had a very successful trip on the Watauga River. Winter is some of the best fishing of the year. If you would like more information on fishing this winter please call (704) 773-4497. I could go on and on about winter fishing, instead I will leave you with a photo from today’s trip.
