Not every day on the water can be great. Some days it is just nice to be out in the sun, floating down a river. Other days you can have horrible conditions and the epic fishing makes it unforgettable. Those are the days that keep us going back. Sunday was one of those days. It . . . → Read More: Watuaga Rain Day

Warm weather is on the way! I hope everyone is planning on fishing this weekend.
I’ll be working in the shop, Orvis – Sevierville, so stick one for me. If I did have the day off I’d would hit the Smokies and fish Little River for big brownies. They should Start getting active . . . → Read More: Warm weather and a New Year

Clay and I drove up to the Watauga River and dumped the boat in at Blevins around 10:00am. As we floated down stream we got into a nasty midge hatch with fish rising everywhere. We caught a few and lost too many. So we decided to streamer fish the rest of the day . . . → Read More: Friday Float!

As we put a wrap on a great summer season, now is the time to be thinking about your fall and winter trips. The South Holston and Watauga have given us some great days of trout fishing this summer. We used Blackfly, Sulphur, Beetle, Ant, and Cranefly dry flies, and when there wasn’t . . . → Read More: Summer has been great

Mother nature did not seem to want to cooperate with us today. I awoke to rain at 6:00am. Rain however does not always mean bad fishing, in fact it was just two years ago when Doug and I fished a miserable rainy day that resulted with my biggest brown ever. With that in the . . . → Read More: Watauga 4/28/2008

Long time coming. I had been planning this trip for a year. Last year we caught the Caddis hatch perfectly and had the best couple of days fishing that I have ever had up to that point. I was hoping to try and duplicate that trip this year. It almost didn’t happen, but Steven . . . → Read More: Watauga 4/21 – 4/22/2008

Made to the Watauga two weeks in a row. I had a regular customer, Ken, who had just purchased a new Orvis Zero Gravity Helios, this rod has been getting crazy reviews. Ken had never fished the Watauga or out of a boat. He purchased the rod to take out west this summer. I . . . → Read More: Watauga 2/11/08

I got the opportunity to go back with Doug and Kris for another day on the water. We got started around 8:30 am and floated from the Elizabethton Launch. The day started at a bone chilling 24 degrees as we shuved off and started the float. There were a few trucks at the launch . . . → Read More: Watauga 2/02/08

Well, I can’t think of a better way to start the year off than by hitting the river with new and old friends. The day started out before light, hitching the boat up and heading out towards JC to hit the Mighty Watauga. The generators were off and reports had been coming in all . . . → Read More: Watauga 1/05/08
