TVA did not generate more than one hour on Friday, Saturday and Sunday of this past week on the South Holston River. The Sulphur hatches were once again huge and lasting for 3-4 hours. As usual the sulphurs came in waves. It would be heavy, then back off for a litlle while. Then come back heavy. Both sizes 16 and 18 were on the water at different times. The dry fly fishing was “Awesome”. I know that is not the correct word to use by a man my age. But it seems to fit the fishing on the South Holston River.
This week , TVA is beginning good schedules for week day fishing during the summer. It is generating from 1-8 p.m. Monday and I expect them same or close to it for a few days. That gives good wade fishing til 4:00 or 5:00 p.m depending on where you are on the river. This schedule is also very good for primetime afternoon floats to dry fly fish the sulphurs on high water. Because they do hatch big time there also.
As Red Skelton would always say” good night and may God bless”.
