We have gotten a break from the rain and winter has returned.  Highs only in the 30's today with wind.  A small warming trend for later in the week and it looks like a dry week.  Streams are still flowing high but the Tuck in Jackson County is flowing at 551cfs.  That is great news for the Western North Carolina Fly Fishing Trail! 

Lake levels are still very high with ranges of 1ft to 5.4ft above target levels.  We will continue to monitor this as this greatly affects flow rates on our tail waters.

Slow presentations down and go small.  You will need to get deep also.  A trout's metabolism is slowing down so less food and movement.  Keep this in mind and change your tactics.

Tight Lines!
