Today, Friday, looks like a wonderful day and in fact looks like it will be the best day of the weekend.  Today is the day to be on the water.  If you are not floating a recommend small streams on the WNC Fly Fishing Trail or GSMNP.

They stocked in Cherokee this week so plenty of fish should be available to catch.  This s wonderful time of the year to fish in the Trophy Section of Cherokee plus the Elk are putting on a show.  Do be careful and give wildlife at least 50 yards of room.

We currently have trips in Caney Fork and Moses Creek this morning.  I am expecting to hear some good things from them by days end.  As the temps warm I would be using dries, but nymphs will also work.  The #14 and #16 Frenchie has been working well.  Soft Hackles in orange have produced some good trout.  These are good to use in a double nymph setup or as a dropper behind a dry.

The Tuckasegee is still flowing at over 700 CFS and I do not see it coming down anytime soon based on Duke flow schedule coupled with the rain we are forecast to receive Saturday.  Floating is the best option on the Tuck right now.

Tight Lines!
