Fly Fishing Western North Carolina April 2013

What a fun day out on the river!  The fishing on the Tuck was good.  Let me clarify that, it was unreal!!  This river is on fire right now to say the least!  The fish were taking all of the usual bugs in rapid fire!  Hares Ears, Pheasant Tails, San Juans, and little olive streamers to name a few.  The best advice for anyone going to the Tuckasegee is throw a tandem nymph rig on the bottom, and hold on!!

As far as the catch and release section on the Raven Fork go, We were throwing a size 14 May fly attractor trailed by a size 16 pheasant tail with good results!  I did see some big fish looking up,  I love it when that happens!  Best of luck to you!

Book those trips now!  724-986-2652

Keep those lines tight!

 

Location: Tuckasegee River and The Raven Fork
