The rain stopped yesterday afternoon but the damage had been done.  Lots of rain and high water are making fishing impossible and unsafe.  The Tuckasegee River in Jackson County is running at 1710 CFS in Cullowhee and 4050 CFS in Bryson City.  Many other streams such as the Oconaluftee are running at 993 CFS this morning.  The good news is that this flow will go along ways in cleaning out the leaves in our wild streams. 

I don't expect anyone to be on the Tuck anytime soon.  I am thinking that Wednesday or Thursday some of the other wild streams may be safe to fish in certain locations.  Expect cooler morning temperatures going forward the rest of October. 

Tight Lines!
