Tommy and Barbara came down to float with me on the Watauga River on Thursday. We meet up at the shop and head over to the water. With the lack of rain the Watauga River is low and clear right now. That makes the fishing a little tuffer, but the fish are still willing to eat. We got on the river and we started getting into fish right away. The contiuned to catch fish all day, and having a great time. The fishing was a little slow because of the low clear water, but we did manage to catch a good many fish. Most of the fish that we caught were on nymphs, but we did caught a few on beatles too.

I really enjoyed may day on the water with Tommy and Barbara an hope to fish with them again sometime.

Good Fishing,
