Fishing ReportMay 10,2023

Greer’s Ferry Lake is 3.2 ft above the power pool. The Army Corps of Engineers are running 1 unit 24/7 to get the lake down to pool. I’d expect the same generation schedule to continue unless we get a lot of rain and they hold back releases from the dam.

The Caddis are hatching up and down the river. And the fish are eating. I’ve been fishing double Caddis patterns 6 to 8 ft deep underneath an indicator. With them running 1 unit. Another good fly is a Pink San Juan Worm. The Streamer bite has been really good as well. Try fishing articulated patterns on a sink line and throw towards the bank.


Mark Menning from Nashville TN. With One Heck of a Little Red River Rainbow trout. We were drift fishing from the boat with a double nymph rig with Caddis patterns underneath an indicator when this Rainbow hit. 

Dave with a nice Little Red River Brown trout. We were drift fishing Caddis patterns underneath an indicator and this guy hit in Cow Shoals.
