FRIGID !
That was the word on the TN Tailwaters this weekend. A fishing buddy and I awoke at 7:30 in Elizabethton to 45 degree temps and misting rain. By 9 am it was a full blown snow storm with temps in the teens and howling winds. Oh well, you drive the distance.. you gotta fish. We found the river mostly deserted with only a few hardy souls on the lower end. We tried several spots and finally about 11 the BWOs started popping off.
You literally had to time your cast when the wind subsided for a split second to keep the size 18 parachute out of your ear. We managed about a dozen browns like the one pictured. We may have had more but the temps, wind and an increasing dose of the Hypo drove us to the truck after about three hours.
