Clinch River Hatches and Fly Instructions
Clinch River Hatches and Trout Flies:
There are a few mayflies and quite a few
caddisflies that emerge on the Clinch River
but the hatches are not consistent day in and
day out. There is a sulphur hatch that can be
good at times. It is about the only mayfly
hatch of any importance. It starts in late April
and peaks during May. By the first of June it
has ended in most areas. Many days you will
be lucky to see midges on the surface. Most
of the fly fishing should be done subsurface.
