As November comes to an end the fishing in the Tuckasegee River has picked up producing many nice trout for many anglers and clients.  The water temperature has cooled off nicely with highly energetic trout swimming and dancing after the sting of a properly set hook usually with a nice trout at the end of your line.

Many different techniques and setups are producing trout.  Streamers and high stick nymphing are popular among many anglers but indicator nymphing will take trout.  I have tried to keep an open mind when it comes to setups and techniques since they all work.  Specialize your setup based on water conditions and water clarity and don't be afraid to get out of your comfort zone.  The moral is that each setup and technique will produce trout and I believe is more about strike detection than the actual nymph used.  We all fish what we have confidence in so why not try a different technique and see what happens.

As always feel free to call or stop by for more specific information.  We welcome questions and will tell you where we fish.

Tight Lines!
