The hunt for brookies in high places continues as the end of summer burns on and we patiently wait for Fall weather and Delayed Harvest.
Now is a great time to fish the upper Tellico, the more well-known tributaries, or strike out onto that blue line on the map that you've always wondered about. Whatever you choose, you'll largely have it to yourself this time of year.
There are a few hatches still going on, but our major hatches are winding down for the summer season. But that doesn't mean that the trout aren't hungry or aren't still looking up for an easy meal. Bushy dry flies that imitate terrestrials or stoneflies have been the best patterns to use lately. Also try an ant or beetle pattern. Small nymphs such as thread frenchies and rainbow warriors are great options in the low, late summer streamflows.
Give us a call, shoot us a message or stop by the shop for the latest conditions. Tight lines.
