Rick Pitts came down to fish with me on the South Holston River. Rick was in Knoxville, TN for some business and wanted to fish while he was down here. We meet up at the shop in the morning and headed to the river. We got to the river and there was a few fish midging. So we started out with a dry and dropper an caught fish pretty good all morning. Then the Sulphurs started coming off after lunch and we got in some good dry fly fishing. It was hot and the sun was really bright so the fish were tougher to day then they had been a few days before. We had a pretty good Sulphur hatch, but it didnt last long. By four the bugs had pretty much died out and there was not much going on. Rick had to drive back to Knoxville so we decided to call it at day around 4:30.

It was a great day on the water with Rick and I hope that I will get to fish with him again.

If you would like a Guide Trip give us a call at 423-878-2822.

Good Fishing,

Matt Champion
