With warmer temps last week, we've witnessed some of the best hatches so far this year with many mayfly and caddis species hatching simultaneously. With all of the available food on the surface, trout are readily looking up and eating dry flies and emergers. A parachute adams or elk hair caddis with a lightly weighted or unweighted nymph dropper should do the trick for those fish feeding on the surface. There will still be plenty of trout feeding near the bottom and taking a variety of nymphs. Woolly buggers and other streamers are still finding fish as well.
All of the tributaries will be fishing well and there are trout to be found in all of the Tellico right now, from the NC line down to Turkey Creek and beyond.
Cody is out of the shop this weekend fishing the Casting for Hope competition in Spruce Pine, NC, but @elijahpowell_01 and @collinstuart are holding down the fort and will be happy to help you out.
Give us a call, shoot us a message or stop by the shop for the latest conditions.
