November 17, 2017

Happy Friday everyone!  We are set for a balmy high of 63 today but we have big changes in store this weekend.  We will have lows in the 20's right around the corner so this is more like the week of Thanksgiving rather than early June.

They stocked the Tuckasegee Wednesday and this concludes the stocking for 2017.  We are very lucky that we receive so many trout and our hatchery staff does a tremendous job so each of us can enjoy such a wonderful river.  Good numbers and sizes are being caught and released right now on nymphs. 

The smokies are fishing pretty good, in fact we have several folks camping at site #47 trying to catch some large browns.  River flows are good and most of the leaves have been washed away making for some pretty good conditions.  Dry flies are still taking trout here but I would start mixing in some nymphs as the temperatures continue to cool off.

Tight Lines!
