Stream report 9/4

Although it does not feel like it, fall is on the forecast! Streamflows have been better this summer than they have been in previous years and high-elevation streams have been fishing well for folks. A traditional dry dropper setup keeps the day fun and productive on these stretches of water, whether it’s in Georgia, North Carolina, or Tennessee. 

The tailwater is officially at the beginning of turnover season, causing the river to have a slight green tinge to it. Fishing flashier, bigger flies has been producing this week (think silver beads, tinsel wraps, hotspots, etc). 

Lake fishing early mornings have been producing some lineside fish and good green bass as well. Carp fishing is still on the table now that water clarity is more consistent due to the lack of rain over the last two weeks.

Private waters are tentatively set to open on October 1, provided water temperatures fall to safe levels for the fish.  Give us a call or email to look at dates available for guide trips with us!
