Fly Fishing the Tuckasegee River and West Fork of the Pigeon River

Posted by on May 3, 2012

Today, Clint and I had trips out on the Tuckasegee Delayed Harvest and the West Fork of the Pigeon Delayed Harvest.  Clint had a half day float trip on the Tuck and reports that they brought over 30 fish to the boat.  Hot flies were #6-8 Black/Olive Hot Head Marvins, #14 Pearl Lightning Bugs and #12-14 Rainbow Prince Nymphs.

I guided a 3/4 day wade trip on the West Fork for Matt and Kristen from Orlando, Fl.  Matt and Kristen brought plenty of fish to the net including several nice browns a few rainbows and a good number of brookies.  Kristen even got the grand slam on her last fish of the day.  Most fish were taken on #8 Brown Hot Head Marvins and a few fish were taken on a #12 Flashabou Nymph dropper and a #16 Red Just Add Water dropper.  Kristen also picked up a few on the dry fly Goldie Hawn (little yellow stone).
