Well, after much delay and criticism from people who apparently do read this blog, I have discovered that it has been a very long time since I've updated the fishing report. This was an honest oversight and I thank those of you who brought my attention to it. Thanks for reading! Here it goes:
The fishing on the Hi has been nothing short of spectacular lately. All area trout waters are fishing great right now due to the spring like weather that we are experiencing, along with the overall lack of winter weather that we have had so far. Hope we can keep it up!
The Hiwassee DH has fished good throughout the whole DH season. The river is absolutely full of hungry fish right now and they are seeing some of the spring hatching activity very early this year. We have some little black winter stones, brown stones and a few quill gordons on the water right now, not to mention the BWO's that can make an appearance any given day on the Hi. The sub-surface action is dominated by the old standards: princes, pheasant tails, hares ears and black and olive buggers. Also, very important, don't forget to swing those soft hackle emerger patterns. That one simple technique can often save the day on the Hi when the trout may be very selective and you've tried almost everything in your fly box. Hiwassee trout are suckers for a swung fly. Any type of fly.
Again, thanks for reading and for keeping me on my toes about updating the fishing report. Also, don't forget to LIKE us on facebook. Some posts show up there instead of on the blog. I usually post the same stuff on each of them, but the little quick updates are mostly done on the FB page. See ya there!
