Tim Fischer holds out a beautiful Watauga River brown trout caught in the "off"-season.

Fishing on the Watauga has been good all winter with very little pressure, but due to the amount of snow and rain we've had the TVA has been generating for a few hours in the morning every day. Be prepared to bounce around from spot to spot, avoiding high water. The high water is kicking off the BWO hatch, and it's a pretty heavy hatch. Falling water has been producing the best, and can offer bigger fish because the browns have finished spawning and have spread back out looking for food.
