Expect big temperature swings from morning to afternoon as we are in a fall weather pattern.  Some places got a small dusting of snow but it is gone now after reaching the 60's yesterday.  Water levels in the Tuckasegee are still high and Duke is showing no plans as far as not releasing water anytime soon.  I guided the Smokies yesterday and the water was clear but leaves were a constant battle.  I have to say it the worst of the year but the fishing was good.

We tight lines nyphed using indicator line with a Black Stone and a Frenchie.  Both of those were trout magnets with most of the trout being caught at the end of drifts.  Floating the Tuck is a good option right now.  Wading is still questionable but float trips are producing fish.

Tight Lines!
