Smoky Mountains Flies Needed Now
Steve and I had a chance to go to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and fish the Bradley Fork this past Saturday. The water was still a little cold since there had been a good deal of snow still melting. As we started about 10:00 after a long drive the water temperature was still low at 44 degrees F, but by 1:00 it had improved to about 49 degrees. That is when the action started. (PS Watch for a blog from Steve detailing the action on the Smoky Mountains trip.)
Early Season Montana
March has arrived here in Montana and the booking season is in full swing. I am sitting here writing this March newsletter and it is snowing again today. The snow continues to pile up in the high country and we will be looking at another great water year.
Fishing Conditions in the Smokies
My good friend James Marsh who lives in Pigeon Forge keeps his finger on the pulse in the Smokies. He has provided this update on the conditions in the Smokies here in NC and Tenn. There are some Blue Quills and Quill Gordon mayflies starting to hatch There's also a fair number of Little Brown Stoneflies of two different families continuing to hatch. Although what is occurring is still sparse, the numbers will increase over the next three or four days. The potential problem is going to be the amount of rainfall, not the lack of hatches.
Streamer Season is Here
1. Go Big. A large streamer may not catch more fish than your typical size 12 woolly bugger, but your average size will be larger.
2. Play with colors. Typically olive or natural colors work better in clear water. Black, brown, or bright colors work better in stained water. Stocked fish like yellow and white, while wild fish like more naturally colored flies.
Putting The "U" In Troutu
One of the things that makes a trout fishing website more useful than a magazine, television program, etc., is the ability to collaborate at a high level. This means anyone who has pertinent information can contribute. This means we all benefit more. Recently, to leverage this ability, we've decided to make some changes to the website.
