Good Nymph Fishing, Waters Still High and Dirty in NW NC…

Fri. May 25, 2012….Had a great morning and early afternoon of nymph fishing with two fly rigs, a dead squirrel with a Bead Head Batman nymph dropper. Guided Mike Riddick to a 25 fish day today using them.

We went to fish two other Ashe County waters but they were high and dirty….like so much so it was not safe to wade. Both forks of the New are messed up and it will be a while before any fishing like smallmouth will be productive.

The weather was very hot but water temps were cool, low 50s early on and high 50s to around 60F when we called it a day. Saw a few large sulphurs hatching and also some little yellow sallies.

Guiding Dr Jim Kramer and his friend Brett tomorrow on the South Holston. Hoping for a great day. Have a great weekend!

Challenging Conditions and Stormy Weather……

Wed. May 23, 2012…..Another challenging fishing day on the SoHo. Stormy weather is right at our backdoor after a very challenging fishing day at he three spots we fished. Split my time during the day between 5 guys, Joe Craig, Ron Davis, Wendell Ott, Bill Leinster, and Locke Clifford. We caught about 30 fish in all, and on a mix of flies. Fish were tough , they would rise once then not again. We did catch a few on dry flies, and one new fly I tied worked well but overall it was tougher than in many days. No bugs hatching to speak of.

Will be having dinner then doing an evening fly tying session. Will be tying some more flies tonight in preparation for tomorrows trip.

Have a good evening…!

Nice End to a Challenging Day….

Tues. May 22, 2012…..After a challenging morning and about 20 fish in our total guiding Joe Craig, Bill Leinster, Locke Clifford , Martin Clark , Wendell Ott, and Ron Davis. We caught a number of fish on nymphs and nymph droppers. Overall things were pretty slow until after lunch. We had some clouds and thunderstorms move in and things got better in a big way. We caught maybe 12 more and some good ones too, 16-20". The largest was caught by Ron Davis and it was 20 1/2" and we got it to eat a size 18 sulphur dry fly. At the end of day we encountered two huge fish, one of which was a 3 foot long brown trout that ate a giant olive streamers. After about a 10min fight the fish had made several long runs and got 20yds into the backing….and it managed to rub the fly loose in some grass. We were bummed…….

We will be hitting it again tomorrow. It’s raining and we are expecting

Have a great evening!
