Guided Smallmouth Trips in Western North Carolina

Posted by on June 6, 2012

Dale with a nice Tuckasegee Smallie

We have been floating for smallmouth bass for the past few days.  A couple of days ago I had the pleasure of guiding repeat client Dale L. from California on the Lower Tuckasegee near Bryson City.  While it was a fairly slow day on the water we couldn’t have asked for better weather.  Dale landed 5 or 6 smallies including the nice one pictured above.  Hot flies were #6 white and fire tiger wiggle minnows and #4 Olive Leadeye Buggers.  Hookers Fly Shop guide Clint Holcomb also had a smallie float on this section and reported a slow day as well.

The next day was a different story.  I decided to hit the section between Dillsboro and Whittier.  Dean and Mozell from Plant City, Fl brought over 20 trout and over a dozen smallies to the boat. Mozell caught several large rainbows in the 16-18″ range and several decent brook trout and one nice wild brown.
