TN Tailwater and NC Delayed Harvest Fishing Report

You’ll find great fishing right now if your on the South Holston or Watauaga rivers!  On the Holston, look for good midge hatches throughout the day and Sulphur hatches in the evening.  On the Watuaga, a few sporadic caddis hatches have been productive times to fish.  Also Look for large hatches of Sulphurs in the evening until dark.  As usual, midges are always present along with a few craneflies.

The Delayed Harvest fishing on the Watauga in NC has also been productive.  Good hatches of caddis flies have been hatching mid morning along with midges.  Also, sulphur mayflies are starting to show up along with small yellow stoneflies.  Dont forget to look for terrestrials such as beetles and ants this time of year!
