The weather roller coaster ride continues!  Heavy rain has covered most of the local areas this morning and it should continue all day.  Weather experts predict 2"-4" of rain by the end of the day.  Following this is cold air with the Tennessee bordering mountains seeing some snow.  You can expect highs in the 50's and 60's and lows in the 30's and 40's for the most of the week.

I am expecting water levels to rise rapidly which will make most if not all fishing nonexistent the next couple of days.  Duke is flowing the East Fork starting at 10 AM today in addition to the current West Fork Flow.  Lake levels are at desired levels or higher than desired according to the Duke website so the additional rain will make the Tuckasegee River in Jackson and Swain Counties virtually impossible to fish.  Couple the rain with the high wind warning and we have ourselves a fantastic weather day for Ducks!

Tight Lines!
