Fly Fishing in Cherokee, NC – Fly Fishing the Tuckasegee River

Posted by on April 3, 2012

Tuckasegee River Delayed Harvest

It’s been a busy start to the week here at Hookers Fly Shop and Guide Service.  Trip booking for the spring and summer have been very strong over the past week.  Yesterday, I had clients out on the Tuckasegee River Delayed Harvest.  We brought several fish to the net including some nice rainbow and brook trout.  Most fish were taken on #8 Hot Head Marvins as well as a #14 Para Sulphur with a #16 Just Add Water dropper.

Decent rainbow on the lower Oconaluftee

Today, I guided clients on the Cherokee Trophy Section and the lower Oconaluftee.  During the morning hours, we had a couple of rainbows in the 13-16″ range brought to the net.  In the afternoon we fished the confluence where the biggest fish of the day was hooked.  The big rainbow looked to be somewhere around 20″.  After a good fight the fish eventually snapped the 5x tippet.  Fish were taken on #6 dark olive bottom rollers with fire orange hot spot and #8 Hot Head Marvins.

We will be guiding for the next few days on the Nantahala and the Tuckasegee.  If you are interested in taking a wade or float trip with us please feel free to email or call.  We still have availability for most of April.  Our guides are ready to take you on your next fly fishing adventure.   828-587-HOOK  hookersflyshop@yahoo.com
