~ Tips
~
Trout are feeding on sporadic
midge hatches throughout the day, and one of the better blue
winged olive hatches I have seen in awhile. Attractor
patterns work very well early and late in the day and of
course the olives when they are in prevailing numbers. Large
stonefly patterns and caddis larvae imitations drifted
through deep runs produce very well this time of year as
well.
The water levels are greatand
the big trout are in the shallows and very easily spooked so
always scan the water very thouroghly before moving as these
larger trout will be holding in some very unusual places
that will surprise you.
Best time of the day 11 am
thru 4pm
Till next month, Slippery
rocks, broken tippets, lost flies and big browns.
Willie Cope
These are suggested
patterns for fly fishing in the Great Smoky Mountains area
and should give the angler a good start to catching some
fine mountain trout
