Current Report
Current Conditions: Hot days,
cool nights, good-to-
excellent fishing and about
an even split on wadeable and
floating opportunities.
Generating has been beginning
at 1:00 P.M. and running til
8:00 P.M. That gives wade
fisherman a more or less full
day by starting with morning
Sulphurs up high and moving
down ahead of the advancing
water until 5:00 P.M. or even
later. Floaters can put in at
2:00P.M. and float over a
good hatch of high water
Sulphers and take out just
before dark. This is a light
mid-summer generating
schedule owing to our rain
deficit. The river is healthy
and full of fish

Hatch Info
Hatches: I guided a fella
yesterday on the Holston. He
caught lots of fish despite
the absence of bugs. A thin,
brief hatch of Sulphurs came
off around noon and brought
up some real nice fish. There
is a heavy concentration of
Sulphurs up high and down
low. The middle sections have
fewer Sulphurs this year.
Don't know why.
Hot Fly Patterns
Fly Patterns: As the Sulphur
hatch progresses and the fish
get fussier, I often turn to
a yellow bodied soft hackle.
After a few fish come up to
and then reject my best
presentation of my best
flies, I knot on a Soft
Hackle. Call it an emerger if
you want to-----I still call
it a wet fly. I dress mine to
float high or squeeze the air
out of it to sink it deep.
Works for me.
