Mid-summer fly fishing update for all of the Southeastern Anglers out there. The second half is going to be big! We are in full swing now on the Cumberland River in Burkesville, Ky. Every day is somewhat different, but one thing showing some consistency is average fish size and quality. We are bringing some larger average fish to the net and more brown trout than last year. Most days are producing fish in the upper range of the slot limit and even some 20 inchers. Water levels are currently good with our anticipation of flows remaining favorable throughout the season.
The Cumberland River just may be some of the best fly fishing a Southeastern Angler can enjoy without getting on an airplane this time of year. We have good availability for August and September and a couple of open weeks left for October.
We will begin operating our Hiwassee River float trips after October 15th. Once the leaves are in full color and the season has changed, the trout of the Hiwassee River return from rest. Late fall through the remainder of the year is one of the best times for fly fishing on the Hiwassee.
This is how we score big in the second half. Please come and join us. As always call or email to book a trip or just talk fishing.
Thanks, Dane
