Floating on Watauga Tailwater

Sunday I floated the lower section of the Watauga tailwater where it ran into Boone Lake. Most of the day was spent fishing double fly rigs right on the bottom.

The fish seemed to like little BWO nymphs in size 20-24 and some larger caddis larvae size 14-16. Towards the end of the float in the slow, slick water, there was an awesome BWO hatch and the biggest fish of the day was caught on a size 18 BWO emerger. It was a nice change of scenery as well as an awesome day on the water.
