Early May, 2008 Fishing Report - Watauga Trophy Section

The sulfur bite is still good both on top and subsurface. Size 16-18 sulfur nymphs and 16-18 compara dun or parachute dries are working well. Swing sulfur wet flies during the hatch to catch the fish eating emergers. Big midge hatches are taking place in the early morning hours. Size 22 blackfly midge larva dead drifted or short stripped has produced well. A few blonde caddis are also being seen sporadically throughout the day. Big schools of carp are spawning and some big brown trout can be seen swimming amongst them. A few browns over 20 inches have been caught with streamers stripped through the schools of carp.
