Well after working in the morning me and Dave finally got out of the shop around 2pm. TVA ran water in the morning so we headed down stream to get away from some of the fisherman. The water was down when we got to the river and I caught several smaller fish right after I got in the water. Dave moved upstream of me and I saw him catching a few fish. I stopped getting hits so I moved up towards Dave and hooked into a really nice Brown after a good fight I landed the 16-17″ Brown. We fished a little while longer, but the fish never really cut on so we decided to change sections.

At our second spot we go into the water, and didnt get into fish right away. Then the fish started feeding. We caught fish till it got dark. It was a great afternoon of fishing with Dave.

Both the South Holston and Watauga have been fishing good this month.

If you would like a Guided Trip on the S. Holston or Watauga River give us a call at 423-878-2822.

Tight Lines,
