WATAUGA STILL HOLDING STRONG by gloomis1297

The Watauga River is still holding very strong these days and that's where we're spending most of our time. We've got a nice light cahill hatch in the late afternoons. We're also taking some BIG browns and rainbows on streamers and they are extremely aggressive right now chasing shad. Browns in excess of 8lbs are being caught daily at this stage so we're VERY excited for ourclients to say the least.

The smallmouth fishing is right around the corner too and we're starting to book those trips now. Plan on the last week of May for that to kick off. The spawn will be over and the larger fish will return to their feeding lanes ready to eat ANYTHING that is put in front of them accurately.
