Watauga River

Tip of the week: 
Techniques: 

Double nymph set ups and dry/dropper rigs are working well in both Delayed Harvest sections. Consider trying worm or egg patterns as well.

After the water falls off and clears back up, make sure to move back to smaller tippet sizes and more natural bugs.
