TVA cut the wheels off frrom 2:00-5:00 P.M. Tuesday. So I grabbed my stuff and hit the river. There wasn’t as much rising as the water was going down as usual. But there was some. Fish ate cripples on top fairly well. As the water flattend out , a sulphur dry with a midge pupae was the ticket. It probably did not matter what pupae it was , just as long as it was 20 or smaller for me.  I bet you 15 or so fish ate the Sulphur dry.  There weren’t many sulphurs on the water, but they ate it anyway.

Hopefully we will not get much rain out of this system and TVA will go back to giving good wading hours.
