Fishing is good to excellent just about everywhere now. In the Smokies, water has been getting a little on the low side, but rainfall over the next few days should help that situation. The recent dry spell has been great for the tailwaters. Big fish are being caught and flows are perfect for both wading and floating!
On the Clinch River, sulfurs are still hatching and fish are responding when bugs are on the water. Otherwise, midges will keep the fish fed.
The Caney Fork has settled into a very good schedule. As of right now, the Corps of Engineers is giving us some excellent schedules to keep just enough water in the river. Hopefully this will continue as we go through the hot summer months. We are also hoping that we don't get too much rain this weekend. Lots of rain will mess this river up sooner rather than later.
Warm water streams are fishing very well now. Lots of smallmouth bass are being caught and mostly on topwater. If you have been wanting to chase these fish, now is the time to go!

Update on Tennessee Tailwater Closings
My buddy David Perry over at Southeastern Fly just posted an update on the Tennessee tailwater situation. Apparently Senator Lamar Alexander has introduced legislation to block those closings. Head over to Southeastern Fly and watch the video for more on this!
David, sorry buddy I thought it would be video of some beautiful water. When I opened it and saw politician I couldn't go there. I'll wait for your report.

ReplyDeleteHaha, no worries and I don't blame you. Politicians annoy me to no end as well, especially lately...
DeleteThanks for the link David. Sounds reasonable and hope it gets resolved.
