Happy Valentine’s day. It is time to cast an angle. Here is short update from the crystal ball. Hiwassee River- we will be drifting from Reliance to our private access downstream, some floats to Patty bridge and an occasional float on the upper as flow allows. The river is full of fish and the bugs are getting started with early stoneflies. Toccoa River – Mostly low flows for a while as TVA fills lake Blue Ridge. Plenty of fish available in all sizes. Early stoneflies and blue wings already started. The big browns will be active soon on streamers. Holston River – TVA is just now reducing flow here to fishable levels. We had a great holdover population in the fall so there should be some real pigs out there this spring. We should also start seeing good flows on the Clinch soon. We now have a year of slot limit regs here, so good things should be happening. Cumberland River – We will see fishable windows at the end of rainfall events as USACE continues to hold the lake level constant and release all additional rainfall. Sometime in May thing will get more predictable. The early season will be tricky, but we have a five day forecast. I think some of the true trophies will be caught early on the lower sections of the river. The river is fishable for the week of February 16th. Email or call anytime: Dane Law 770-655-9210. |
