Looks like a lovely day outside.  I have been under the weather and have not been able to take advantage of the summer like weather this past weekend.  I did see some photos of some nice trout and small mouth bass that was landed and released on the Tuckasegee this weekend.

We should cool off the next few days but another warm up is headed our way.  This is making for some nice fishing on our tail waters.  The waters in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park are still a bit colder than the tail waters thus making that fishing environment a bit slower than the tail waters.

Typical stone fly nymphs are working well but don't overlook the importance of some tiny dry flies.  Black, grey, or even olive midge patterns can produce a top water take.  Tiny Caddis are hatching as well as some Blue Winged Olives.

Tight Lines!
