The delayed harvest program has begun on many of our area streams. This is some of the best fishing of the year. Many local fly fishermen anxiously await the change in regulations that brings on fresh stockings of fish and thins out the crowds. Get out and enjoy!

Delayed Harvest Waters...and more!
It's almost that time of year again...my favorite time! On October 1st our Delayed Harvest (DH) season begins. This is the time of year that really caters to the fly fishermen. It is artificial only, catch and release only regulations.
The DH regs go into effect at the same time each year for many of our area trout streams, both in East TN and Western North Carolina. We guide in both states and stay very busy this time of year. With the stocking of better than average fish, coupled with decreased activity from tubers and swimmers, it is the best case scenario for many a trout fisherman in this part of the world.
We are also offering some great new fishing venues for lake run rainbow and brown trout this year. We are partnering with another great outfitter to put on a series of camps that we'll be operating out of for these venues. These will be all inclusive camps for clients to take advantage of multi-day offerings for these species. Our camps will provide all food, lodging and guide services for clients that would like to have an opportunity to target these fish. Here's the info. on the camps.

Bamboo Weekend!
Hiwassee Angler is pleased to announce that we will be sponsoring a Bamboo Weekend here at the shop next year. This event will be held in conjunction with Stout Bamboo Rod Works during the weekend of May 31 - June 2, 2013. We will have Brian Stout, owner of Stout Bamboo Rod Works, on site for the entire weekend to answer questions and to showcase his work. He is truly one of the best at his craft and his work can be seen by clicking HERE.
This weekend will be all about bamboo. Feel free to bring your own bamboo rods to showcase as well. We'll have plenty of room for casting and for BS'ing with fellow bamboo enthusiasts. We will also be booking guided trips for this weekend so you can get out on a drift boat and experience one of the best dry fly rivers in the South. Only thing better than catching trout on a dry fly is to add a fine bamboo rod to the equation!
Make plans to attend this event if at all possible. We are currently taking bookings for cabins and guided drift boat trips, but the event is open to everyone. This will be one of the best times ever to have a true craftsman answer any questions that you may have about bamboo rods. It may also be one of the few times in your life that you'll have the opportunity to cast an actual piece of art. See ya then!

Striper Landed
Watched this young man land this striper at the steps today. It towed him approximately 100 yards down river in his kayak before he could get it landed. Good job!
