Since it looked like the last half way decent day I shoved away from the computer, grabbed the keys, and headed out the door. My waders, boots, bag of gear, and a couple of loaded fly rods live in the car so I didn’t have to waste any time gathering my stuff. Charity was spending […]
Water Levels Have Dropped; So has the Temperature
Water levels have fallen on the mountain streams, but the tailwaters closest to us are still cranking. The Clinch and Holston are both running two or more generators. Even the Hiwassee which is pretty fishable in the winter is running hard. The South Holston and Watauga are the hot spots in East Tennessee right now. […]
When It Rains It Pours
We’ve been rooting for rain for two years and I think we finally got what we’ve been asking for. East Tennessee got twice its usual rainfall in December 2008 and we’ve already had our quota for January. Let me be the first to declare the drought over. Little River came up quickly last night and […]
It Was a Beautiful Weekend on the Water
Unfortunately we we locked up working on our programs for the fly fishing shows. We were tempted to get out on the water since the weather was so beautiful for January but our daughter went to the movies with her grandparents and we only get so much time to work on this stuff together. Our […]

At this time of year we like to point to the tailwaters for consistent fishing, but TVA seems to have inconsistent schedules […]

Last Guided Trip of 2008
Yesterday I took Tim Wilson out on Little River for the afternoon. It was a sunny, yet brisk day. The gauge on Little River said the water was 60 degrees just upstream of Townsend, but I was skeptical. Yes, it has been quite warm, but the river is usually about that temperature around Memorial Day […]
A Look Back at 2008 – The Year in Pictures
Another year has come and gone. We’re gearing up for a busy 2009. We’ve got a hefty schedule of appearing at fly fishing expos in the next couple of months, we’ve got two new books that will be coming out within a month, and we’ve already booked a number of guided trips. But before we […]
Soggy Forecast is Good News for Trout Streams
It’s still raining here in East Tennessee, but don’t get me wrong. We’re not complaining. After two years of drought it’s great to see my home water looking like its old self. In fact, it looks like we’ll probably end up meeting the annual average rainfall total. The rain we’re getting is slow and soaking; […]
