WNC Small Streams

Fished a couple of small wild streams off the Parkway on Saturday. We had high expectations with the warming temps of the last week. The first stream we hit had water temps still in the 40's but by 1pm we started picking up fish on dries. This pattern seemed to be the ticket in the fast moving waters. The recent rains had the water at levels I had not seen since last spring. We picked up mostly rainbows in the lower sections of the streams but moved up into wild brookies after lunch.

We managed about 6 fish but had hoped for a lot more. The water temps were still just a little too cold but looks promising with a week or two of temps in the 60s.
