The fall colors are a little muted this year from the lack of rainfall, but it is still a great time of year to be floating the rivers and fishing. The Watauga Tailwater is fishing good, cranflies all day and BWO’s mid day until evening. There is nothing like the dry fly bite, watching the fish slowly rise to your fly and crush it as it comes by.

Fall is in the air and the leaves are revving up their brilliant colors. We are seeing yellows and crimson reds this week. The fishing has been up and down dependent upon the weather fronts coming through the area. The Watauga and South Holston seem better in the mornings before the sun gets high in the sky. The Holston for smallies is the opposite, it needs the high sun to heat the water and the action is good in the afternoon.

I introduced some new fly fisher persons to their first trout and also spent some time with longtime clients. Here are some samples from the week.

This week was the “Indiana Boys” from Evansville. This group of fine fly fishing gentlemen have been doing a week long trip, this being their sixth year. I enjoy there friendship and company during the week. We did several new trips this year and the guys truly loved the fishing they were exposed to. We waded the South Holston, fished Big Cedar for some “Southern Steel” two days and then floated the Watauga. Here are a few pictures from the week, one of the guys suffered a torn bicep tendon about ten days before the trip, and had surgery to correct it. He wasn’t going to let that stop him from coming on this trip. You will see him in one of the pictures with a cast on his arm.
