Current Report
The Watauga River has been
fishing well this year. There are
currently plenty of yellow
mayflies (#18-14). We have
found that a #16 sulfur pattern
works well for dry fly fishing.
large bead head nymps (#14-12)
have been producing some nice
fish. We like prince nymphs in
size 12, and of course BH
pheasant tails in size 14. Black
ants are always a good choice
this time of year, and the
Japanese Bettles should be
starting up in the next few days.

guides have also found that a
good firefly pattern is a wonderful
producer. Also, smal (#10) wooly
buggers ied with tan materials
will be a good producer in the
weeks ahead.
