We have been greeted with cooler temperatures the past few mornings.  Some places got a trace of rain this weekend but for the most part we are still in need of rain. Duke Energy is running the West Fork until 8am which actually puts the Tuck at 219cfs in Cullowhee. 

Several anglers have been landing some really nice sizes and numbers since the stockings last week but the pressure has been pretty high and will continue to be that way for awhile.  The Tuckasegee can handle all the eager anglers du to its size and the amount of trout stocked but do expect the trout to become more selective and start taking traditional patterns such as Prince Nymphs, Hare Ears, Girdle Bugs, Woolly Buggers and Pheasant Tails Nymphs.

Tight Lines!
