Welcome to the Fishing Report from Townsend, Tennessee in the Great Smoky Mountains. At 4:38 am, the temperature is 29.8 degrees.
Much warmer air is moving into the Tennessee Valley today. It will be sunny with a high in the middle 60’s with a low around 50 degrees tonight. It may be windy today and tonight, especially in the high elevations. Tomorrow will be warmer with a high in the upper 60’s and a low in the low 50’s tomorrow night. Sunday will be sunny and warm.
Little River is flowing at 167 cubic feet per second (cfs) or 1.90 feet on the gauge. Median flow for this date is 298 cfs. The water temperature is 40.6 degrees and falling this morning.
Most streams in the Smokies are flowing lower than normal, but some are close to normal. Water temperatures are cold this morning. That will change over the weekend. The streams will warm and fishing will improve. Fish the lower elevations today and go later after the water begins to warm. Nymph rigs will probably work best.
Fishing for smallmouth bass in the lowland rivers will be slow today but we may see some improvement through the holiday weekend. Fishing for stocked trout will be better after the river warm some. Nymphs, eggs, Squirmy Worms and Mop Flies are good fly choices in the stocked trout waters.
TVA is offering anglers an early Christmas gift today. There will be long breaks in the generation schedules at several dams this afternoon. Visit the TVA website from the links below to see what your tailwater fishing options are.
We will be open today from 9:00 am until noon to serve last minute Christmas shoppers and friends. I will be going in early and working on a new Flymen Fish Skull online store category. Daniel and David will be greeting customers downstairs.
We will be closed all day tomorrow on Christmas Day and will re-open Sunday from 9 until 5.
I will not be writing the fishing report tomorrow.
Have a great Christmas and thank you for being here with us.
