The S.Holston in North Carolina continues to produce high numbers of fish almost every trip. While we were flooded out during a few floats, the S. Holston has been our consistent go-to river. Big hatches of blue wing olives and midges have kept the fish rising on our dry and wet flies. In between hatches we have been nymphing seams, riffles, and grass flats during high water generation. The big browns are starting to move upstream and stage in productive deep slots and runs. The biggest fish are being caught nymph fishing in deep water pool and runs during low water on the lower river. The TVA has began to cut off the generators allowing for some sightfishing opportunities in the lower river flats.
