We nearly got three inches of rain this week at the house which has helped some of the local water levels in the area.  The Tuckasegee is still flowing relatively low but the Oconaluftee is flowing at a much higher level than last week.

Saturday looks like a decent day to get out but we have an 80% chance of rain in Sunday's forecast.  It should be partly cloudy with highs in the 50's Saturday with water temperatures in the 40's.  Dress in layers and use hand warmers and toe warmers.

Nymphs are still the top choice.  Eggs and worm patterns seemed to be the top choice today.  Have a good selection of Buggers, Midges, Stone Flies, and Pheasant Tails.  Sizing up or down cane make a pretty significant difference in success rates.  Lite leaders and tippets are still the way to go.

Tight Lines!
