The Sulphurs came off late afternoon wednesday  on the South Holston River. This was my first encounter this year with enough sulphurs to actaully call it a hatch.  And they came off pretty darn good for about 45 minutes.  Matt encountered them sparingly thru the week on guide trips. And being in the shop all week, I heard of the same small hatches from a number of people.  So it is close, real close.

On guide trips , Matt’s clients caught fish real well all week on nymphs . And I mean real well. The stories of continued  from customers all week on how good the fishing is , here on the South Holston River. And about how good the average size fish is.

Come join us, the river is m still on fire.

I cannot even begin to tell you how good the nymph fishing was yesterday. Actually it has been this good for 2 weeks now.  Sulphur nymphs are moving and fish are eating them. Nothing wrong with smaller nymphs also.  Tons of fish are being caught on midge pupae.  So it is – pick your poison. It has been that good. And as usual, presentation and a good drift is the key.
