Fishing Report - January 2010


Fly Fishing Report

SNOW! SNOW! SNOW! We’ve been blessed with snow this winter. The great thing about snow is that it brings the water table up…..and it is up! Water levels are at a five year high. Fishing has been slow due to the extreme low temperatures, but with warm weather forecasted for the remainder of January, fishing is starting to get better!! The delayed harvest sections of the North Toe River and the “new” DH section of Wilson’s Creek are both fishing pretty good. There are still a lot of hold over trout being caught. San Juan worms, wooly buggers, and egg patterns have been working well. The key to catching fish during the winter months is to drift slow and deep. Extra weight can many times be the difference in catching fish and not catching fish.

Wild waters is fishing good as well. Wild browns have spawned in most of our streams and the action is reflective. With a few warm days we are experiencing some good hatches.

Looking for the fish of a lifetime on a fly? Try Muskie! If with cold temperatures the muskie bite has been on. Not for the faint at heart, muskies on a fly rod is said to be the most exciting fishing found during the winter months here in Western NC. River’s Edge guide Scott Graham is one of the few guides in the Southeast that can put you on a muskie. January, February, and March are great months to sight fish for these aggressive predators. Give us a call for more information about booking a muskie trip.

Trophy trout fishing has been very. We’ve had several clients land big rainbows and browns on the top side of 25 inches over the last two weeks. If you’d like to experience trophy trout fishing “the way it should be” then give us a call and book your trip.

The best way to describe this fishery is “unbelievable”. With rainbow and browns tipping the scales at +6 lbs, you won’t find a better quality experience than fishing these private waters. With three miles of private stream you won’t find a better fishery anywhere in the Southeast.

Our guides are experiencing great days of fishing on both the Watauga and the South Holston tailraces. The “BIG” fish are on the move so, if you’re ready to try your hand at a “30 inch” Brown Trout on the fly give us a call. Check out a couple of fish that were caught recently…
