December Fishing Update

South Holston River Fly Fishing - December Update

Flows are changing!

The South Holston has increased the 1300 CFS and is now running an Average Discharge of 2200 CFS.

It looks like they are going to keep that going until Sunday. They are forecasting 813 CFS for the Average Outflow. Keep your eye on the app to see exactly what this looks like.

For fishing, this means that our boat anglers will need to add more weight on their rigs with the increase in water.

We expect that streamer fishing should pick up in consistency from the 1300 CFS flows we did have.

Our wade anglers are out of luck until Sunday it looks like. The Watauga is generating most of today and it looks like Saturday and Sunday will be lots of generation as well with an Average Outflow of 1300 CFS. This can be a good time to tie a few patterns or sit at the shop and tell a fish story or two.

When you can find the afternoons where the sun is out and the temperature gets into the mid 50’s like today the mountain streams can still come alive this time of year.

We also have some rain coming in on Sunday it looks like so definitely bring your rain jackets.

If you’ve got any questions, definitely give us a call!
