Over the past few weeks we have been fishing and guiding on many of the small streams in the area. We have been all over the Smokies including more remote areas like Hazel Creek and Forney Creek. The Western North Carolina Fly Fishing Trail has also been a favorite of ours on streams like Scotts Creek, West Fork of the Tuckasegee, Caney Fork, Mull Creek, Piney Mountain Creek and more.

We have been seeing some good hatches of Little Yellow Stoneflies, Light Cahills and Sulphurs with plenty of eager fish picking dry flies off the surface. The better dry fly action has been in the mornings and late afternoon and evening hours. We have also been fishing a lot of dry dropper rigs and nymphs rigs with great success. Hot nymphs have been #14-16 Flashback Pheasant Tails, #14-16 Orange Thread Frenchies, #14-16 Rainbow Warriors, #12-14 Olive and Natural Hares Ear Walts Worms, #10-14 Green Weenies and other various inchworm patterns, #10-14 Pink Barbie, #14-18 Quasimodo Pheasant Tails and more.
