Fishing Report

as of 3/28/2017

Caney Fork River:

The generation schedule has typically kept wading fisherman out of the river with the occasional weekend having a few hours of wadable water. With the spring rains continuing, expect high water.

Cumberland River, KY:

With the exception of heavy rains the generation schedule has been slowly backing down and the fishing has been really good.

Elk River:

The water release has backed down to offer wadable windows and the fishing has been good. Try your best to float and find fish that aren’t heavily pressured at access points.

Duck River:

The generation schedule has finally backed down to offer plentiful wading opportunities. Smallmouth fishing should pick up once the water temps rise a bit more.

Hiwassee River:

The generation schedule has finally backed down to offer plentiful wading opportunities, be cautious of generator starting in April. Blue wings should be abundant and keep any eye out for an early caddis hatch.

Holston River:

Water level has been good and so has the fishing. Blue wings should be coming off on overcast days. Early sulphers and caddis could hatch if the conditions are right.

South Holston and Watauga Rivers:

Water levels are good and so is the fishing. Be looking for blue wings coming off on overcast days. Early sulphers and caddis could hatch if the conditions are right.

Clinch River:

The generation schedule has been good lately and so has the fishing.
