March fishing is super hot!

Posted on March 8, 2016 by eshuler

March Fishing Report

What a start to March fishing it has been. Not even a week into the season and we’re seeing the hottest action ever!

The Tuckasegee River is flat out incredible right now and will continue that way all the way into June. Float trips on the Tuckasegee River out of our drift boats and rafts have been the way to go for both numbers of fish as well as big fish! We’re seeing big Brown trout crush our flies this time of year, more so than normal! Big ol’ heavy Brook trout are coming out of seemingly nowhere to grab a slow worked streamer in the tails of big pools and runs, some are over 20 inches! Rainbow trout have been plentiful and fighting hard. It seems everyone, even the trout are sick of Winters long cold grip and are ready to get the warm weather going.

We are offering a Float Trip Special that is 3/4 day Float Trip that includes all the gear and flies plus lunch for only $225 per boat! No kidding, you read that right a Float Trip for $225.

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park streams are off to a good start. We have seen plenty of trout rising to eat dry flies by mid morning and carrying over to late evening. The stream flows have been great, and the fish are hungry, and ready for Spring. The Smokies offer all wild trout that are rich with vibrant colors. Nowhere in the east will you find trout more beautiful. Speaking of beauty, have you seen the Smokies from a trout stream? The streams here offer unparalleled scenery, crystal clear water and lush green forests. Some of the wildflowers are already starting to poke through the ground and much of the park’s wildlife are becoming increasingly active. It wont be long before this magnificent landscape here really starts to change. The fishing inside the park will just keep getting better and better as the days get longer. We can’t wait!

The Raven Fork in Cherokee is also really taking off . The fishing gets better each week as temperatures get warmer and the insect hatches really start popping. Spring brings the big trout out of the deeper pools and into the faster runs to feed. They are aggressive and quick to take a well presented fly. Hold on to your rod firmly as these fish come to fight!

March fishing is on fire and it’s only getting better from here!

Hot fly patterns this month are;

Blue Duns #14-18, Little Black Caddis in #16-18, Black Caddis Pupae in #16-18, Little Winter Stonefly nymphs in #16-20, Little Winter Stonefly dries in #14-18, Blue Winged Olives in #18-22, Quill Gordons in #12-14, egg patterns in #10-12, Rainbow Warriors in #14-20, and black midges in #22-26. For Streamer patterns try black and olive Woolly Buggers in sizes #6-8, dark brown Sculpins in #6-8, and black Rabbit Strip Zonkers in #6-10.

See you on the water!

The Life of the Caddis & Fly Selection

Posted on March 6, 2016 by eshuler

Caddis Flies

It’s fast approaching, Spring!! The first day is only just over a couple of weeks away. And that means dry fly action, specifically here, Caddisflies. Eugene and I got to witness a hatch just the other day. The 60 degree weather brought on a nice Grannom hatch (black caddis), and a bit of inspiration for this blog.

The caddis is one of the most abundant food sources for a trout. They feed on them from the larva stage on up to the adult stage of their life cycle. And unlike mayflies, caddis have a full life cycle, adult, larva, and pupa. Mayflies do not have a pupa stage. That means more opportunities for trout to feed on caddis!

There is a lot going on with a hatch than just a bunch of bugs flying around. In essence all caddis hatches are similar but change slightly depending on species. There is an abundance of info if you would like to delve deeper into specific hatches. As a trout angler, the basic understanding of any hatch will help you catch fish.

Let’s start below the water’s surface with something not everyone gets to see, unless your really looking.

Caddis Larva

Caddis larva look similar to a small grub, and are very vulnerable at this stage. They build a protective case out of silk and debris usually from sand, gravel, or sticks. They will stay in this state essentially a year. When it is time to pupate they will close off their case and when time of day and water temperatures are just right they emerge.

Caddis Pupa

Caddis pupa form a gas pocket under their pupal skin that help them ascend to the surface. This gas and the skin make them shimmer and sparkle. By the time they reach the water surface they are a winged adult ready for flight. This step happens fairly quick. If you’ve ever been on the river and see trout jumping out of the water it is a very good indicator there is a Caddis hatch going on. The splashy rise is a trout chasing a caddis pupa on its way to the surface.

Caddis Adult

The adult caddis looks similar in appearance to a moth, which they are closely related to. You can always tell a caddis by their tent shaped wings that lay flat against their body. They will fly around erratically, sometimes for days looking to mate. After mating caddis land on the water surface (some swim to the bottom) to lay their eggs then die. Completing the cycle.

Now that we know the stages of a caddis hatch we can break that down to what fly to fish with. Using the knowledge of the hatch we covered and matching fly size, silhouette, and color we can get those trout to bite. Here are some common flies that mimic a caddis in each cycle stage.

Green Rock Worm or Green Caddis Larva

A pretty simple fly that mimics the larva stage but don’t let it fool you, many trout have met the frying pan or had a sore lip at the hands of this fly.

Sparkle Pupa

This mimics the pupa stage, the yarn sparkles to look like the pupal casing and air bubbles. Fish this in the surface film or just below.

Elk Hair Caddis

One of the essentials in your fly box. This is because the caddis flies so erratic, it makes the elk hair fool proof. It sometimes entices a strike if you dance it across the water. Keep them in various sizes, #12 – 20. Keep various colors too black, tan, and olive are most common. It’s a Classic!

So this spring when you hear the trout jumpin and the Caddis are flyin fish these three flies. You’ll bring many trout to the net.

Winter 2016 Fishing Report Smoky Mountains

Posted on February 6, 2016 by eshuler

Winter 2016 Fishing Report for the Smoky Mountains

Well it looks like Old Man Winter is finally upon us. After a record setting warm start to Winter, the snows have finally arrived in the Smoky Mountains! The snow covered beauty of a trout stream is hard to resist for any of us. So when the skies darken and the white stuff starts to fall, we do what we do best, and that’s hit the water! Read ahead for our Winter 2016 Fishing Report!

Winter is a great time to explore the Smoky Mountains. This time of year in the Smoky Mountains we get off trail a bit and explore some of the cabins and historical sites of the park too. Nothing is more fun than finding and old home place or abandoned farm that no one has seen in years! Book a trip with our guides this time of year and let them know your interested in doing some exploring along the way. You’re guaranteed to see some cool stuff others will never experience! Of course we still fish, we just know taking a path less traveled will lead to interesting historical sites and fishing.

Winter 2016 Fishing Report

The best trout fishing this Winter will be mid morning through the afternoon. Look for days with sunshine and areas of the stream that sunlight hits early. This will warm up the stream and start aquatic insects hatching that trout love to eat. Best fly patterns will be Little Black Caddis in #16-18, Black Caddis Pupae in #16-18, Little Winter Stonefly nymphs in #16-20, Little Winter Stonefly dries in #14-18, Blue Winged Olives in #18-22, egg patterns in #10-12, and black midges in #22-26. Streamers such as black and olive Woolly Buggers in sizes #6-8, and dark brown Sculpins in #6-8. Work your flies slowly through likely holding water and make sure to cover every inch of water. Even though the trout are hungry and will be actively feeding, they will not be traveling far to intercept your flies.

The Cherokee Trophy Section is fishing good this winter. Big fish are holding at the bottom of long deep runs and are most active mid day. On pretty sunny afternoons we get into some nice dry fly action.

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is fishing good despite colder water temperatures than surrounding streams. Fish are active once the sun comes up and continue nicely into the afternoon. Most trout are deep however don’t overlook faster riffles and runs for the actively feeding trout which will take small nymphs and the occasional dry fly.

The grand daddy of them all is the Tuckasegee River. Winter fishing here is consistent all season despite what the elements throw at you. The waters of the Tuckasegee River are typically warmer than surrounding Smokies streams. Most fish will be deep and are gorging themselves on small midges and little dark caddis. This time of year is great for streamer fishing too. Trout are predators and behave as such. No self respecting big trout an resist a slow swimming streamer pattern bouncing along in their feeding zones. After all the name of the game in Winter for a trout is caloric intake, and a big meal is hard to resist! The water levels on the Tuckasegee River have been perfect for fishing from our Drift Boats.

Get outside this Winter and do some fishing and exploring in the Smoky Mountains. You’ll be glad you did!

We’ll see you on the water!

Rates starting at $87.50 per person!

Mid Winter Smokies Fishing Report

Posted on January 12, 2016 by eshuler

Mid Winter Smokies Fishing Report

Where did all the people go? The answer is simple, they’ve moved indoors. Is the fishing not good this time of year? Nothing could be farther from the truth. Fact is, the best time of year to catch a personal best trout is now!

Mention fishing this time of year, especially with the recent weather we have had, and folks think you are nuts! Then again, a thin line separates passion from insanity. Truth is, fishing during the Winter months is incredible! No other time of year can you head to a popular stream or lake and find you are the only one fishing today. Which brings us to the question, isn’t getting away from it all one of the reasons we go fishing in the first place?

One of the best kept Winter fishing secrets is big fish love cold weather, especially trout! The biggest trout of the year will undoubtedly be caught during the Winter months. Most trout spawn when the water temperatures here in the mountains start to dip below 48 degrees. This generally happens in November through mid December. During spawning season trout burn most of the calories and fat content they have packed on during the Fall. After the spawn, they need to eat at every opportunity to rejuvenate fat stores to carry them through cold Winter days ahead. Post spawn (this time of year), is your best best opportunity to catch a big trout.

The best trout fishing this week will be mid morning through the afternoon. Look for days with sunshine and areas of the stream that sunlight hits early. This will warm up the stream and start aquatic insects hatching that trout love to eat. Best fly patterns will be Little Black Caddis in #16-18, Black Caddis Pupae in #16-18, Little Winter Stonefly nymphs in #16-20, Little Winter Stonefly dries in #14-18, Blue Winged Olives in #18-22, egg patterns in #10-12, and black midges in #22-26. Streamers such as black and olive Woolly Buggers in sizes #6-8, and dark brown Sculpins in #6-8. Work your flies slowly through likely holding water and make sure to cover every inch of water. Even though the trout are hungry and will be actively feeding, they will not be traveling far to intercept your flies.

We’ll see you on the water!
