Where Trout Feed When There is no Hatch to Match

Trout do not always feed in swift water. Sometimes, they will dine in pools. Oftentimes, trout will feed near the bottom of the stream, where the water tends to flow more slowly than the current at the surface. In cold water, the trout will almost certainly feed in slow water, which is often along the stream's bottom. Rather than trying to stay warm, they are actually trying to conserve energy in the cold water.

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.

South Holston Fly Instructions

Holston River Hatches and Trout Flies:
Our information on aquatic insects is based on 
our stream samples of larvae and nymphs, not 
guess work. We base fly suggestions on 
imitating the most plentiful and most available 
insects and other foods at the particular time 
you are fishing. Unlike the generic fly shop 
trout flies, we have specific imitations of all the 
insects in the Holston River and in all stages of 
life that are applicable to fishing. If you want to

This course explains some of the basic elements for fishing for trout after the sun goes down. You will learn how to observe the water, what to do when you see a rise or when you do not see a rise. Safety in night time is of great importance and it is stressed in this class.

Quill Gordon Mayflies

The Quill Gordons (Eperous Pleuralis) nymphs are clingers. For most of their life,
up until it is near the time for them to hatch, they stay hidden down between and
under the rocks on the bottom of the fast water runs and riffles. They are not
readily available for trout to eat. A few days before they begin to hatch they move
from their fast water habitat to slower moving water. Often this is behind large rocks
and boulders near the fast water. Trout are very aware of this short migration of the
