We are still in a warm weather pattern and long term forecast looks like a bit of a cooling trend with very little chances of rain.  We certainly could use the rain and that would make a big difference in the fishing.

The Tuckasegee in Jackson County is flowing between 37 - 39 cubic feet per second which is extremely low.    Expect trout that spook easily and trout that will test your mental will.  I am hearing many different stories on success rates from regular customers.  I have not been able to get to the river due to meetings and work at the shop this week so all I am telling you is information from good anglers and past notes.

The Trophy section in Cherokee is a good option right now and it will give you a chance to experience another fishery on our WNC Fly Fishing Trail.  They had stocked that section of the river with some very large trout for last weekends tournament.  This is a prime time to hit the Trophy Section.

Tight Lines!
