Great Smoky Mountains Fishing Report January 22nd

This past week has been adventurous for us at Fly Fishing the Smokies. Late January is when we start gearing up for our 2017 guiding season. There are many tasks to be done such as training new staff, doing inventory of equipment, replacing old gear, purchasing new. One of my favorites is training the new guides. We put many days on the river together as a team teaching new guides the waters we fish; how to row drift boats, fishing all the streams we guide on, covering as much area as possible etc. It’s always fun to bond with your teammates getting to know each one. This is when I finally get to ride up front of the boats casting to a few trout. I almost feel out of place, as I’m used to being the one rowing the boats and pointing out places to cast for our guests, instead of being the caster.

Warm weather this past week and intermittent showers have kept the fishing excellent and our guides busy on the water. The bite has been consistent and hatches plentiful on many of our area streams and rivers.

The Raven Fork in Cherokee

Our new client Matt had a stellar day this past Friday on the Trophy Section in Cherokee. Waters were stained and little high because of heavy rains the night before. Water clarity was near perfect for keeping us hid from sight of these experienced trout. Tea stained color makes fish less spooky and more eager to eat as food items are dislodged from the bottom. The trout on the Trophy Section see some of the best flies and anglers making them notoriously challenging. Matt saw the Raven Fork with near perfect conditions and the fishing didn’t disappoint!

Heavy rains Sunday will have water levels elevated for the first of the week across the Smokies region. We expect water levels to drop quickly as the area is still classified as being in an extreme drought. The mountains are soaking up as much water as possible. However it has rained more days than not since the first week of December it seems. We need it, so nobody is complaining! Temperatures will drop slightly towards the end of the week as we dry out. It’s still going to be plenty nice to be outside. Solunar charts have the fishing as excellent towards the end of the week too. Should be a great weekend to be in the Smokies.

We’ll see you on the water!

Great Smoky Mountains Fishing Report January 18th

Great Smoky Mountains Fishing Report January 18th

It’s been unseasonably warm for over a week now in the Smoky Mountains. Day time highs have felt more like April than January. We are certainly going to pay for all this beautiful weather at some point. We say bring it on, we love fishing in the snow. In the meantime, we’ll take these warm temps and the great fly fishing action they bring!

T-Rex

The best action around the region right now is the Tuckasegee River. It’s hard to compete with 17,000 trout per mile currently in the river. Fact is the fishing has been awesome this month. Many days we are seeing good hatches of Blue Winged Olives, Winter Stoneflies and Midges. These hatches are bringing trout to the surface to feed on dry flies! Float Trips have been very fun for our guests this past week. We’ve seen folks catch Grand Slams all week, and one gentleman caught a monster Brown Trout that we named the T-Rex of the Tuckasegee!

The Raven Fork

The Raven Fork and Oconaluftee River in Cherokee is fishing very well. Water conditions are near perfect for this time of year. Trout are feeding aggressively throughout the entire day. We are seeing a consistent afternoon hatch of tiny Blue Winged Olives that are bringing trout on the surface to feed. Nothing like watching a 20 inch plus trout rise to a small dry fly. Fighing and landing said fish will have you occupied for a bit. The near perfect water conditions have these Cherokee River monsters unwilling to throw in the towel easily.

The Great Smoky Mountains

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is fishing good for the month. Typically January can be a tough affair inside the park. Streams are cold and the wild park fish are lethargic and will feed just a few short hours per day. Fortunately this isn’t a typical January, days have been warm and water temps are good making for some periods of very good fishing. There is no need to get an early start this of year fishing inside the GSMNP. Sleep in and drink and extra cup of coffee as you won’t be missing anything starting at day break. Mid morning until mid afternoon have been the ticket here. We are seeing good hatches of Little black Winter Stoneflies on streams such as Deep Creek and the Oconaluftee River. Keep moving and look for areas of slack water to find the best activity.

The forecast for the remainder of the week and weekend have the Smoky Mountains receiving much needed rain. Even though the area has recieved copious amounts of rain over the past month, we are still considered to be in extreme drought. Air temperatures will be hoovering in the low 60’s in Bryson City and Gatlinburg. The rains this week should turn the bite on even more and anglers may see be surprised by some big meat eating Brown trout feeding close to the banks!

Have a great week, we’ll see you on the water!

Great Smoky Mountains Fishing Report January

The fishing in January around the Great Smoky Mountains region has been fantastic so far. Winter is when we typically see great subsurface fishing and bigger fish landed. January is on point so far with one exception; Dry fly action! Yes you read the right, and no we aren’t crazy. Dry fly fishing in January makes about as much sense as screen doors on submarines right? For many reasons, most of which are boring and make us sound totally geeked out, we are seeing some great dry fly action. Hatches happening right now are Little Black Winter Stoneflies, Blue Winged Olives and lots of midges. It’s pretty special to be fishing for rising trout in the Winter months, so we’ll gladly take the opportunity!

Tuckasegee River Fishing

The Tuckasegee River is fishing incredibly well this month. Water tempratures are excellent and we’re seeing good numbers of trout on the surface taking small dry flies in the flat sections of water. At times we see upwards of three acres of river dimpled with rising trout! This leaves nothing but air and opportunity between you and your next best catch. This is especially true if you happen to be fishing from the comfort of a drift boat or raft. Cloudy, overcast and slightly rainy days have been fishing best!

Raven Fork Trophy Trout

The Cherokee Trophy Section on the Raven Fork has fished very well this winter. Water levels have been great and hatches are consistent from early morning until late evening. In the “Land of the Giants” you must have great presentation and the right fly or you can get left scratching your head. These big fish see the best anglers and best flies all day, making them a pro at snubbing your offerings. However get it right, and you may be wearing that big small all winter long!

Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Great Smoky Mountains Fishing Report for January is pretty good considering the below normal cold for this time of year. The Smokies recieved a decent amount of snowfall this past weekend leaving roads temporarily closed and covering the landscape in winter wonderland. Little black winter stoneflies have been hatching all day long inside the park now. These little guys can be seen crawling over snow covered banks and for whatever reason seem to be attracted to your clothing. Trout go crazy for them splashing wildly after dries trying to escape the surface, and feeding aggressively underneath the surface.

It should be a fantastic week to be fishing the region. We’ll see you on the water!

December Fly Fishing 2016

Posted on December 28, 2016 by eshuler

December Fly Fishing 2016

December Fly Fishing action has been incredible. To say we have had the best season on record for December is an understatement! Good weather and stream conditions have contributed to great angler success rates for big trout. Bryson City, and Cherokee North Carolina have been at the top of the list for big fish locations to visit. Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge streams inside the Great Smoky Mountains National Park have seen their share of good fishing for wild trout.

Tuckasegee River Float Trips

Tuckasegee River Float Trips have been outstanding for consistent action and some massive trout. More season appropriate temperatures have turned the trout on big time as we’re seeing lots of massive Brook trout become very active. Cloudy days, even some rain have made for the best times to be out to catch a big fish! We are catching some very nice Brown trout now as well. The biggest December news on the Tuckasegee River has been fishing with dry flies! Yes you read that correctly, dry fly fishing in December. Crazy right!? All month long we have witnessed literally acres of rising fish on the Tuckasegee River starting mid morning and continuing all day until around 5:00pm. Hundreds of fish at times all on the surface sipping dries. It’s a been sight to behold.

Rainy days on the Tuckasegee River have also seen some Steelhead running upstream from Fontana Lake. Stocked in the early 1970’s by the North Carolina Wildlife Resource commission, Steelhead just like those stocked into the Great Lakes thrive in the lakes and rivers in Bryson City. These hard fighting acrobatic fish will give you a fight like no other!

Cherokee Trophy Trout

December fly fishing on the Cherokee Trophy Section on the Raven Fork and Oconaluftee River is excellent. We are seeing good numbers of big fish hooked all month long. We’ve also seen lots of broken tippet and bent hooks! These big trout are notoriously hard fighters and will rip the guts out of a reel and have been known to break rods on many occasions. These aren’t the easiest fish to catch as they see some of the best anglers and flies on a daily basis. They will however leave a smile on your face that takes weeks to wipe off! Of course cloudy days and rain are best, but big fish can be caught on pretty days too.

A few more days are left in the month and we can’t wait to see what our guests will catch next!

Tight Lines y’all!

Great Smoky Mountains Fishing Report for December 15th

Bundle up today if you’re headed out! Expect day time highs to only be in the low 30’s today across the Great Smoky Mountains and surrounding towns of Gatlinburg and Bryson City. Overnight lows in the Smokies dipped into the teens on most higher elevation peaks. Thick fog in Bryson City was frozen to tree branches and porch steps this morning. I found this out the hard way as I bounced down them on my arse first thing this morning! Nonetheless, it’s going to be a great day. The NRS Clearwater drift boat is hooked up and I’m rolling out to hit the Tuckasegee River with a long time friend and client who can lay out casts with the best of them!

The Tuckasegee River has seen an abundance of Blue Winged Olive hatches along with numerous midges coming off around 9:30 am and continuing through the day until the sun starts to set. Rising trout all across the river is a very welcomed sight especially in December. Who would have thought we would be targeting rising fish with dry flies this time of year. Very cool indeed!

The Cherokee Trophy section on the Raven Fork is producing fish water temps have cooled a couple degrees pushing fish into deeper water and holding tight to the bottom. They will feed all day long they just won’t move very far to take your fly. An accurate cast and dead drift are key to fishing here this time of year.

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park has been cold in the mornings so an early start isn’t necessary right now. Sleeping in and eating a big breakfast and opting for an extra cup of coffee is a better way to start. Not much has been happening before 9:00am this week inside the park. Once the sun comes up and light hits the water you start noticing activity on the side pockets and calmer water first.

Hope you all have a great week and spend some time outdoors. We’ll see you on the water!

Great Smoky Mountains Fishing Report December 14th

Great Smoky Mountains Fishing Report December 14th

The fishing in December has been very good all across the Smoky Mountains region. Big Fish love cold weather! That is a fact. No other time of the year do we see more active big fish than in winter time. Although it’s not technically winter yet, tell that to the fish! The best fishing in the region at this time is the Tuckasegee River. Currently there are 17,000 trout per mile on the Tuckasegee. This River holds Rainbow, Brown, and Brook trout with average trout size around 16-18 inches! We are catching many fish into the mid 20 inch and beyond range. The recent deluge of much needed rain has done wonders for the water levels in the Tuckasegee River and surrounding tributaries. We are seeing full streams and rivers with great water clarity. This makes perfect conditions for both Wade and Float Trips this winter. The Cherokee Trophy Section is the second choice for fantastic fishing this time of year. The Raven Fork and Oconaluftee River are both fishing very good. Trout here are monsterous with many fish exceeding 24 inches and better. We are seeing good action on both dries, nymphs, and streamers on the Trophy Section. Water levels are dang near perfect right now. Honestly you couldn’t ask for much better. We are still seeing the Elk wander through the area as well rounding out a fun filled day! The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is fishing good for December. Brown trout are finally becoming very active on the larger low elevation streams such as Little River, Deep Creek, and the Oconaluftee River. We’re seeing dependable hatches on Blue Winged Olives and several small Caddis species around mid morning as the sun warms things up a bit.

The weather this week has been chilly to down right cold in the mornings which is typical this time of year. Tuesday was off and on rain showers and stayed overcast which triggered some epic fishing! Wednesday was clear and cool with a sun all day with highs reaching mid 40’s. Thursday is going to be clear and cold with a high of only 33 degrees. Brrr! Friday clouds up and starts to warm and by Saturday and Sunday we are forecasted for rain showers and high reaching the mid fifties. Should be some great weather for catching big fish!

Faith, Family, and Fishing! We’ll see you on the water.

Smoky Mountain Fly Fishing

Posted on December 12, 2016 by eshuler

Smoky Mountain Fly Fishing

Smoky Mountain Fly Fishing is a year around special treat full of trout. The Great Smoky Mountains and surrounding region are a special place in the world offering a year around trout fishery unparalleled by any area in the country. No matter what time of year you visit, there is always great trout fishing on one of our many rivers, lakes, and streams. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is by far the most beautiful area that we guide, and has the prettiest trout that we fish for. These wild Rainbow, Brown and Brook trout are stunning with vibrant colors unmatched by any other fish in the region. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is home to the largest population of Southern Appalachian strain of Brook trout to be found anywhere in the region. Although we have Rainbow and Brown trout inside the park, the Brook trout are the only true native species of trout in the Smokies. Brook trout, or Speckled trout as they are commonly called, live in some of the most rugged and remote streams in the mountains, typically around 4,000ft in elevation and above. Fly fishing for Brook trout is a special treat and anglers from all across the world come to the Smoky Mountains to try and catch one. The Great Smoky Mountains are home to many species of wildlife including the Elk, which were native to this region of the country a few hundred years ago. Recently reintroduced by a collaboration between the National Park Service and the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, these magnificent creatures now roam their native lands once again. Often times we are visited on the streams by the Elk while fly fishing. A wild Smoky Mountain Rainbow trout is about as colorful as you can get. God’s fingerprints are clearly visible on these fish. Rainbow’s are the most plentiful trout species to be found inside the park. They have a great appetites, and will crush flies for you all year long! The Great Smoky Mountains offer some of the most spectacular scenery during the Fall. The mountains come alive with vibrant colors best described as a box of Crayons. There is beauty in every season inside the Smoky Mountains, however Fall is the most spectacular. It’s hard to keep your eyes and mind on watching a fly drift though the riffles and runs this time of year. Smoky Mountain Fly Fishing during the Winter is hard to imagine for most folks. We see the biggest trout of the year caught during the winter months. Big fish love colder weather and we have the pictures to prove it! Winter fly Fishing in the Smoky Mountains region is hard to beat. We typically have milder winters than what people may thing. Most often daytime highs reach the mid fifties and we get plenty of sunshine which makes being outside very nice. Lots of days you may have the rivers and streams all to yourself. Leaving the day between just you and your next best fish!

Smoky Mountain Fly Fishing during the Spring is a great time to wet a hook! Tempratures start to warm and everything comes alive in the streams and mountains. We start to seeing an increase in feeding activity from the trout and action is consistent all day long. Spring is a great time to catch good sized Rainbow and Brook trout in the Smokies. Trout are coming off of a long winter and are very hungry and eat most anything that hits the water!

Summer fly fishing in the Smoky Mountains is a spectacular time to catch trout on dry flies. Summer is the best season for chasing wild trout in the Smokies streams. Day time highs are down right hot in the low valleys but the Smoky Mountains remain nice and cool all Summer long leaving the resident trout happy and feeding very well. This time of year we catch trout all day long on the surface using many different types of flies that our guides tie themselves just for you! Stream levels are great and so is the fishing.

Winter Fly Fishing equals Big Trout

Posted on November 23, 2016 by eshuler

Winter Fly Fishing equals Big Trout

Its been said that big fish love cold weather. This certainly seems to be true here in the Smoky Mountains region. Winter is when we start to see the biggest fish brought to the nets. While technically its not close to Winter here yet, recent temprature changes would have you thinking otherwise!

Fly Fishing in Winter

The NC side of the Smoky Mountains has miles of perfect trout filled water. Starting with the Tuckasegee River, which has a state managed Delayed Harvest section. The “Tuck” is loaded to the max with Brook, Brown, and Rainbow Trout. Catching Grand Slam of all three species is a big possibility! The Tuckasegee River is a wide sprawling Rocky mountain sized tailwater river making trout fishing very near perfect here. During the winter months you can expect around 17,000 trout per mile! We offer both Wade Trips and Float Trips on this amazing river.

The hottest destination in the Smoky Mountains region is the Raven Fork! Cherokee is home to some awesome fly fishing opportunities, and this time of year we see incredible action. Fishing the Raven Fork is a unique experience offering world class angling for trophy trout while enjoying great stream access and wading in one of the most beautiful settings in the Smoky Mountains. If all of this isn’t enough to convince you, then imagine standing in the river making the perfect cast and having an audience of Elk watch as you fish!

Winter in the Smoky Mountains is normally a mild affair, with day time temperatures reaching the mid 50’s-60’s. December and January are both normally mild and have pleasant mid day temperatures perfect for getting outside for a Wade Trip for Trophy Trout. February is historically our coldest month and is best spent fishing from the Drift Boats on the Tuckasegee River instead of wading.

Check out our Winter Specials for some great options for fishing the Smoky Mountainns region in search of big trout!

Great Smoky Mountains Fishing Report October 31st

Posted on October 31, 2016 by eshuler

Great Smoky Mountains Fishing Report October 31st

Happy Halloween y’all!

October has whizzed by in a hurry this year. Where did the time go?? By far October is my favorite month of year for various reasons, and it’s going to leave me a tad bit sad to have to say goodbye until next year. I’ll certainly be savoring the last bit of Fall colors around the Smoky Mountains. My saving grace is the great fly fishing will still be here long past the foliage!

The Great Smoky Mountains fishing has been fantastic this past week. Dry fly action continues to be epic if you’re throwing the right stuff. We spent this past weekend fishing mid elevation streams and catching wild Bows and Browns with a combination of October Caddis, BWO Comparadunns, and Beetle patterns. There is a good subsurface bite as well with BWO nymphs and emergers, along with Ocotober Caddis pupae.

The weather in the Smoky Mountains has been very warm to almost hot. We have seen some record setting highs with nightly lows dropping into the lows 40’s in the valley floors and down to freezing in the back country and high elevations. Rain has been scarce but that is supposed to change on Thursday. We are forecasted for an 80% chance with totals that may help with the low water levels we have seen this season. The rain will certainly make the fishing even better!

Fall colors are beautiful in mid to low elevations now. This past weekend was the peak of elevations between 4,000 to 2,000ft. We still have plenty of green leaves waiting to turn in the lower elevations around Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Those leaves should be in peak by the weekend. Traffic shouldn’t be no where near the bumper to bumper stuff we saw over the weekend. You should still expect some delays around Cade’s Cove and the Gatlinburg Bypass.

It should be a great week for fishing inside the park. With the Fall rush coming to a close we will see less people on the streams and on the roads for the next few weeks. November is always good fishing and often an overlooked time to be here. Have a great week and we’ll see you on the water!
