Looks like we are in store for an awesome day of weather and  you should be on the water.  Expect a good amount of current flow on the Tuckasegee River today since Duke Energy is flowing both East and West Forks today.

We have seen some great trout caught and released last week.  We have had some very successful trips with numbers and size recently.  The Yellow Sallies made a spectacular show last evening around 8 PM in Bradley Fork so we can say that it is time to hit the water.  We are on the verge of some really nice dry fly fishing and if just happen to be in the water when it happens you could experience an unforgettable outing.

I certainly would be armed with some Yellow Sallies or at worst yellow body flies of your choice.  We are still seeing Quill Gordons and some Drakes are hatching out.  Don't be surprised if you see a large Stone Fly in the area.

The DH fishery is still primarily subsurface.  Mop flies along with Woolly Buggers will excite a strike but don't hesitate to change if the bite is slow.  The late evening bite can be great on the dry fly and you usually have the water to yourself.

Tight Lines!
