The Watauga River is simply the place to be for the next few weeks.......it has been awesome. We have numerous large fish (18"+) taken each day on the surface and on nymph rigs. Each afternoon the Caddis hatch occurs starting around 1pm and it's been pretty solid all the way into the evening. There are also plenty of Hendrickson's as well. Unfortunately, it's bumper boats in the "trophy" section and those fish have been heavily pressured and it's starting to dwindle. The upside is that while everyone is crowded into a 5 mile section jockeying for position and a fish, we've had the rest of the river to ourselves and have had plenty of 40+ fish days, some topping 75. We have just a few spots left open for this hatch...this Thursday and Saturday the 24th and 26th...give us a call and get in while you can.
