We are in a spring pattern now and expect the usually periods of April showers.  The streams are fishing well and Quill Gordons are coming off on the smaller streams.  The Tuckasegee is fishing well but as always check the stream flow.

Fish on the Tuck are taking Buggers, streamers, basic nymphs patterns, and worms.  Don't be surprised to see some rising trout taking some BWO's and Black Stones.

The GSMNP is going to be a bit more picky.  Be sure to have some Hares Ears, Pheasant Tails, Prince Nymph, and some Tellico Nymphs.  Dries, have on hand some Parachute Adams, Quill Gordons, Caddis, Blue Quill or Blue Duns, and a gnat patterns like a Griffith's Gnat or my favorite Gallop's Gobber Midge.

Just a reminder that Hatchery Supported Waters will open Saturday Morning!  Please obey all regulations, be courteous, and leave no trace!

Tight Lines!
