Fished a mid day half day on the Hiwassee today. I saw more guide boats on the river today than anytime in the past five years. Several were floating in giant rafts. We don't see these guys out there very often and they usually provide some interesting viewing as they bounce through the stair steps. Unfortunately, we were on a half day trip so my clients could join a wedding party around 5. Maybe we'll get to see them next time they visit.
Anyway the fishing was just like we expected. We fished isonychia dries most of the day, and the action was great. We also caught a few fish on terrestrials and my new fly anglers loved that. It's always fun watching those fish swim up from the bottom to gently sip a size 10 hopper.

Great afternoon trip on the Hiwassee!
I spent a fun afternoon today on the Hiwassee with a father and daughter from Huntsville Al. We fished dry isonychias from boat ramp to boat ramp. Caught a good amount of fish, no pigs but plenty of eager fish.
