Well, folks, The rain is on, and the rivers are all up and really moving as of this evening. The rain is supposed to slow down overnight and then we have a beautiful stretch of weather coming! As far as the fishing goes, it has been really good on the Tuckasegee, Nantahala, and Ravens Fork for some time now! With all of this rain, our flows should remain up for a while (but fishable)!
These three rivers are all loaded up and fishing great!! San Juans in various colors, Hares Ears, Pheasant Tails, Price Nymphs, Rainbow warriors, Zebra Midges are all taking fish with regularity! When tying these patterns don't be afraid to incorporate some flash and hot spots on them, stocked trout can't say no to it! :) For the streamer guy, olive, black, and white are my favorites! Once again, make them stand out and you'll be glad you did!
Location: Western North Carolina! Nantahala River, Tuckasegee River, and Raven Fork of the Oconaluftee River!
