Watauga River Fly Fishing Report 6/18/11

Watauga River Fly Fishing Report June 18 2011

I took two beginners fly fishing Saturday and we floated the Watauga River near Johnson City, TN. There was a crazy flying ant hatch in the morning, but the fish were a little picky about which ones they would eat. That was how the dry fly fishing was the rest of the day. Fish were eating, but nothing consistent. We stuck with nymphs and caught average to above average fish all day. Big fish was this 17" rainbow. Great day especially for two people who had never fly fished before.

Asheville Brook Trout Fly Fishing Report

Asheville Brook Trout Fly Fishing Report 6/15/11 and 6/16/11

This fishing report is not a work related fishing report. Annie and I haven’t had time off together (weddings excluded) since the fishing season started. The stars aligned in our favor and we decided to mix a backpacking trip and a search for good brook trout water. We headed off into Pisgah National Forest in an area that is not very popular with most people. We ran into one group of hikers in two days. I had fished the lower end of this stream a few weeks before, but caught rainbows and browns, but no brook trout. We hiked four miles before we started fishing, at an elevation of 4,000 feet above sea level. We hit pay dirt. The first hole we fished yielded a dozen brook trout in the 4 to 7 inch range. The rest of the evening and next morning was just as good. Every hole that should hold a fish or two did.

The fish up there are small, but extremely colorful and plentiful. We found solitude that I haven’t found since I left WY. We had an awesome time, and I have already been back on a day trip. The hike in takes about an hour, but is not very steep. If you are interested in a back country trip like this give me a call to talk about the details.

Davidson River Fly Fishign Report June 6 2011 through June 12 2011

Davidson River Fly Fishing Report 6/6/11 through 6/12/11




The Davidson fished really well last week. Good numbers of smaller fish were eating, and we had enough shots at larger fish to put a few in the net each day. I personally hooked the biggest fish I have had on all season and lost it to the log above the Humble Hole. The water is low, but still pretty cool. Fish are really eating and the crowds have not been too bad. Mornings are definitely better, but the river fished well all day Sunday.

Here are some pictures from my day off Sunday.

Call me to book a day on the Davidson.

Early June Watauga Floats

The Latest Watauga River Fly Fishing Report
The water is low for June, but all that means is you are more likely to see fish before you cast to them. The sulphurs, caddis, craneflies, and terrestrials are out and the summer dry fly fishing on the Watauga has begun.

Call me to book a trip or inquire about local fishing.
