I was wondering if anyone could tell me if any of the tailwaters are getting good dry fly action, or just a tailwater that is fishing well lately. I just got back in Knoxville last week for school and was hoping to wet a line this weekend.
Thanks Jon

I was on the Clinch this past weekend and it was slow (I suck at this sport, but it was even slow by my standards!). I did get some small fish on the standard Zebra and Blood midges, but nothing came up after the few dries I tried.
I've heard a couple say that wooly buggers are on, some say that nothing's really on now. Tough time with the heat and the generation schedules.

I've been fishing the watauga lately. if you're looking at dries, i'd throw a sulphur pattern. the fish seem to start coming up around 10 or a little later. i've also been catching fish on dropper zebra midges, and pheasant tails. i prefer the midges myself. i've also caught a few risers an tan caddis'. sizes 16-20, depending on whether i have a dropper or not.
