What a season so far, and it is a long way from over yet. I think the best is yet to come. Our spring and summer fishing brought some incredible action. Some of the best days we have ever seen, and some of the most difficult. From huge browns tirelessly eating cicadas on top in some places, to minimum flows and warm water in others. I think the next three months are going to get on down to just some good consistent fall fishing – and we are ready. Here’s what we think. Toccoa River – We are expecting much better fall fishing here than in years past. Water temps are good and have been all summer. Flows should be good for float trips with a little wading encouraged at the shoal areas. Fish stockings have been heavy here during the summer, and holdover is good. We are excited about the possibility of better regulations on the river next year. Here again, I think we are going to have better fall fishing than is normal. Clinch River – With favorable low flows, this will be some great trout fishing near Knoxville. The water is cold and we are currently having good days here. Mostly nymph fishing with some streamers. We are catching fish within the new protected slot already and some real nice brookies too. It is a lot of fun to catch three species of trout in a tailwater. Cumberland River – We are expecting a repeat of last year’s awesome fall fishing. The largest trout ever caught by an SEA client was caught here last fall. I won’t go into detail, but October/November should be an event. I think the fish will spread out and we will have action down the Burkesville or below. Southeastern Anglers is pleased to announce that Captain Mark Scarborough will be joining us in Kentucky this month. We are working from a new computer. If you receive duplicates please let me know.
