Smoky Mountain Fishing Report for June 04, 2024
This week is going to be a good one for fly fishing in the Great Smoky Mountains and surrounding towns of Gatlinburg and Bryson City. Weather has been about perfect for the first week of June. Highs reaching upper 70’s in the valleys, and low 70’s in the back country with slight chances of showers in the late afternoon through Thursday. This weekend looks spectacular! Overnight, low 60’s will keep stream temps cool and in great shape for the trout. Reports from our guides have all said park streams are fishing in peak form. Stream levels are perfect for this time of year. All creeks inside the park are running full which is a good sign in case of late summer droughts. We are seeing good hatches all day long of yellow sallies, sulphers, light cahills, brown stones, and various species of caddis have kept the dry fly action strong. The terrestrial game has been strong too. We’re starting to see loads of green inch worms falling from the trees and of course small hoppers in tan and olive along the banks. Black ants and beetles are a good option for times between hatches of aquatic insects.
