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
Perfect Fly Brown Sculpin
Not only does the appearance of the Perfect Fly “Brown Sculpin” closely resemble the sculpin, but its movements and and its behavior also closely resemble that of the actual sculpin. After several tests, we decided to use the eyes but not weight the fly. If the fly had added weight it would not work nearly as well as it does without weight in shallow water.
Fly Fishing Techniques and Equipment for Dukes Creek Georgia
Fly Fishing the American River, Equipment
The fly fishing equipment you need for the Lower American River depends on the season and species for which you are fishing.
A 5 or 6 weight fly line will be the best choice for the majority of fly fishing. The larger species, such as the king salmon, will require a 7 to 8 weight fly line. While most fly fishing will require a floating, weight forward line, you will possibly need sinking, sinking tip, and shooting head lines depending on what you're fishing for.
Equipment & Rigging for the Upper American River
Fly Lines:
While most of the fishing on the Upper America River is best using a 5 weight fly line, we recommend using a 4 weight floating line and small dry flies for the tributaries and headwaters, and a 6 weight if using streamers and nymphs. A sinking tip fly line may even be desirable for fishing with streamers.
