We hit the South Holston with an all day assault on Sat and it did not disappoint. Started out at the weir for some stocker action and hooked up with 20+ rainbows before lunch. After lunch we hit the grates for a few hours and I finally hooked up with a couple of really good browns over 20". My fishing buddy caught a good brown as well as a number of rainbows. We both agreed on one thing, you had better be on your A game with those fish. They have seen it all and man they are picky about fly selection and presentation.
As the generation hit we decided to head down river and finish out the day. We only caught two more fish but they were both nice browns in the 16 to 18 inch range. The fish downstream were more consistently keying on sulfurs which were sporadically coming off all evening. The fish on the upper stretch were keying more on midges and black flies.
