There hasn’t been any fly fishing to report from our neck of the woods in East Tennessee and the Smoky Mountains. Between the Christmas holiday and Snowmageddon it was pretty hard to get out. Not that it mattered much, though.
There hasn’t been much of a generation schedule worth heading to our local tailwaters and all of the roads in the Smokies were closed. Snow has been melting for the past couple of days and that has prevented the streams from warming up at all. But that’s about to change…
Expect flows to subside on the tailwaters this weekend and a dramatic warming trend along with some rain will warm the streams quickly. There is reason for concern about high water in the Smokies after the rain, but that probably won’t last long. Mild weather is forecast for the next week and we can’t wait to get back out on the water.
We’ll keep you posted…
