Sulphurs in abundance on the Watauga River, now. Not to mention scads of crane flies and plenty of tan caddis. As usual, the proper nymph fished at the proper depth is the secret to succes.

Teo holds up the monster brown caught by Wesley on the Watauga River, April 22, 2010 (click for larger view).
A productive week on the Watauga, with multiple floats over lots of hungry fish. Mike and Karen McBee warmed 'em up for us on Tuesday, April 20 in spite of the chilly, rainy weather.
Dave Gergacz and his buddy Wesley fished with us on Thursday, April 22, and among the "normal" Watauga River trout (your 12" to 17" range) Wesley managed to find one odd-ball: that 30-incher on the left!
Then, on Friday, April 23, Dave Gergacz floated with us again (with another buddy, Mike Maginn) and found those fish still hungry and happy!
