Summer
June 21, 2011

Summer is officially here and the heat is on!  From high mountain trout steams downstream to smallie rivers the action is very hot.   The local trout streams are full of water and the fish are very active. 

The local Wild streams have been fishing very well and as usual mid day sunshine brings these fish to the surface in search of the latest hatch.  Fishing the wild streams this time of year can be a great experience.  Solitude, rising wild trout and flowing mountain streams a wait you.

The Delayed Harvest Streams in NC changed over to
Catch and Keep, No bait or lure restrictions on June 4th.  These streams have been pretty well cleaned out by now.  Still a few hold overs but for the most part you should look else where for trout.

Smallmouth Streams and Rivers are on fire!!  The smallie top water bite is getting more and more consistent everyday.  These hard fighting smallies are on the prowl looking for food.  Good presentation is the trick to catching them.  Now is the time for top water smallie action.

Tennessee Tailraces
The Watauga and South Holston Rivers continue to produce great days with good numbers of big fish.  The best way to reach these big boys and girls is by drifting to them by boat.  Double nymph rigs continue to prove hard to beat but for the big fish we recommend working heavy streamers during generation.  During periods of no generation, we've had some blue wing olive hatches and lots of dry fly action.  Caddis patterns in size 18-22 continue to fool them on a regular basis. 

What's around the bend....


Several months of  top water smallie action is in the forecast.  Also Summer brings terrestrials to the trout streams.  Hoppers, ants and beetles!  This is a great time of year to "plop" a beetle into your favorite trout stream.

The TN Tailraces will continue to fish good through the Summer months  Nice mix of late day dry fly action......  big caddis hatches are over for the most part but these are great streams to fish your favorite terrestrial. 

We're offering guided full day wade, half day wade and full day float trips on several of the DH streams, as well as full day floats on the TN Tailraces.  Spend a day with one of our guides to find out what all the fuse is about. Book your trip today via our on-line fly shop.
