Losing Count On The Clinch River

During a recent trip on the Clinch River, northwest of Knoxville, Tenn. The Clinch is one of the Southeast’s premier trout fisheries. It is a 13-mile tailwater fed by cold, oxygenated waters of Norris Dam. Tennessee stocks the river with rainbow and brown trout. Bank anglers line up near stocking points to pitch baits for a seven-fish limit.

The Thing About Bait

The thing about bait is just because we don’t see it or see signs of it doesn’t mean it is not there.

This was the key that let me know there was bait in the area that increased the probability of larger predator fish also being there and feeding.

Fly of the Month: Conner’s Nutter Butter

The Nutter Butter is a great pattern that falls toward the natural color palette, featuring mostly tans and browns and natural material like coyote fur. Something I have noticed is these subtle colors can draw a strike when brighter colors will not, making streamers like the Nutter Butter a staple for any streamer fisher’s box.
