Welcome to the Fishing Report from Townsend, Tennessee in the Great Smoky Mountains. At 4:51 am, the temperature in Townsend is 39 degrees.
Today will be sunny and warm with a high temperature around 70 degrees and later dropping to the middle 40’s overnight.
Rain is likely tomorrow, mainly in the late afternoon and overnight. It will be breezy. The high temperature will be in the upper 60’s with a low in the middle to upper 40’s overnight.
There is a good chance for rain Saturday and it will be cooler with a high in the upper 50’s and a low in the low 30’s overnight.
Little River is flowing at 341 cubic feet per second (cfs) or 2.28 feet on the gauge. Median flow for this date is 376 cfs. The water temperature is 47.8 degrees this morning.
Streams in the mountains are flowing very close to normal and at good fishing levels. The streams are warming and that trend will continue through Saturday. We will see water temperatures drop Saturday night, but warm on Sunday and Monday. Fishing will improve over the next few days.
If you go today, fish in the lower elevations where the water is warmer. You might want to start early with nymphs and possibly switch to dry flies and emergers later.
Fishing for stocked trout in the low elevation rivers is good. As water temperatures rise, fishing will improve.
If you plan to wade fish or boat on a tailwater today, there are a ton of opportunities. TVA and the Corps are pausing the generation at many dams today. Check the predicted flows for your favorite tailwater on the TVA website and plan your fishing day.
We have been buying parking passes in Great Smoky Mountains National Park for a year. Over 10 million dollars has been raised. So where is the money be used? Find out by reading the article I read this morning on the WBIR website by CLICKING HERE.
Have a great day and thank you for being here with us.
