March 30, 2017

As we closeout March we are looking at a pretty good chance of rain the final two days of the month, actually a 75% chance each day with a high of 61 degrees forecast for Friday.  Saturday and Sunday are looking like good days with highs in the upper 60's and lower 70's.

Keep in mind that Hatchery Supported Waters open Saturday morning!  These streams are marked with a white diamond shaped sign with a green stripe across the midsection of the sign.  No lure restriction and no minimum size limit apply to these waters.  Daily limit is 7 fish.  Please remember to leave no trace and take a kid fishing!

I did hit the Tuckasegee yesterday evening around 7pm for an hour and had zero luck!  I was only throwing tiny Puff Daddy dries trying to coax a good top water strike.  Now everyone that came into the shop yesterday said they had done well on nymphs more specifically mop flies and stoneflies.
 
They will be stocking the Tuckasegee in Jackson County April 4th and I expect an influx of anglers over the past two weeks.  Many of us have several trips booked but remember the Tuckasegee is a big water that holds plenty of fish so explore the water a bit more. 

Tight Lines!
