Despite our warm temps the winter fishing on the Holston has been excellent. At 65 degree highs it's hard to imagine it being called winter fishing though. The blue wings are popping daily and the fish have taken notice. Even some of the better fish are up to them. We're fishing 18-22 CDC comparaduns with great success. Barr's Emergers are working great too. Stay to the smaller side ofthe range for more consistent success. The black fly larva are also fishing great subsurface as are the zebra midges. Run a 16-20 pheasant tail above the blackfly larva for all day success on the nymph rigs. Just make sure to use enough weight to be bouncing the bottom.
