Matt has been on the water all but 3 days in June. He has a ton of reports and pictures to put up. He is just ” whipped” by evening time. [ that is southern slang for wore out, which is also  sotuhern slang for tired.].  So you must listen to me again. TVA is working on the dam , thus been running a steady 1500 CFS from 10:00 til midnite or so. This is THE Best Dry Fly Fishing I have ever seen. The Sulphurs are literally pouring off. What is so unique about the situation is the flow is absolutely perfect for dry fly fishing. The water depth is perfect and every fish in the river is rising to dries. Yesterday , if he rose, I caught him. Then when they got picky and went to cripples, I put one on and the better fish ate it.  Where fish ususally are on low water eating sulphurs, that is where they were yesterday eating them. The only difference in yesterday and low water was , you had moving water in those slow low water spots. This is quite a gift in some of those spots. I did not even mess with a dropper . It would have been fish after fish dry/ dropper fishing. I just head hunted. I left thousands of sulpurs on the water and just paddled in the next 2 miles without wetting a line. I now know why Matt is tired in the evenings. I was whipped!
