It has been too long too. wait for an update but fishing is good on both of upper East Tennessee's tailwaters. The South Holston has been running during the week days and the Watauga has a start time around 1 pm for white water rafting.

The So. Holston starts early am with small blue wings with light green bodies, size 20 to 24. Small black caddis can be found around the shore lines. On sunny days beetles can be good. We have a really good sulphur hatch during high water.

The Watauga is low and clear fishing is good and small nymph and midges work well. Shad are coming up from the lake and large rainbows have been taken on streamers, beetles, crane flies, and sulphurs are all good.

Small streams have been good and as long as we have rain, should stay good.

If you want to fish at Big Cedar Creek in Virginia, book before the end of May.

Good fishing,

Mike Adams
