Hiwassee River - fishing great . We are currently drifting from the powerhouse to Reliance. Sulfurs are doing their thing now with big Isonychias just around the corner.  Dry fly fishing is good.  Mark has developed some top secret soft hackle patterns that are real trout magnets.

Toccoa River - beginning to get back on target.  We have done a few trips there.  The water is still an opaque green and low as TVA tries to get the lake level to summer pool after the dam repair project.  The good news here is that we have caught a few real trophies, DNR has re-stocked the river heavily, and we should be back in full swing here before long.

Holston River - below Cherokee has been an excellent producer for us.  During May the caddis hatch was maddening.  The fish were finicky, but eating on top.  Jake tied up an electric caddis that brought some real bruisers to the boat.The Holston will fish well for June and July also.  Later in the season we want to play around with the smallmouth here on a new lower float stretch we have secured.

Clinch River - has just become fishable. We look forward to some big fish on small flies here in the coming months.  As always, call or email for an up–to-the-minute report or to book a trip.

Here is Tony, our first 20 inch club member for 2011 with a 23-inch rainbow.  Good job.

We have experienced a glorious April on the Hiwassee with lots of rainbows like this one and bugs like we have never seen.  Plenty of mayflies and an occasional caddis blizzard.  May promises to be more great fishing as different flow levels open up more segments of the river to fishing.
