    Summary

    With TVA generating more this week, the fishing has picked up some due to the water temps cooling down. Corn and Fireball salmon eggs are two good bait choices, but a small tuffy minnow is doing very well also. Most fish have been caught from above Hickory Tree Bridge up to just below the Holston Dam, mainly from the Grates and above. Several 13-16” Rainbows have been caught on worms, salmon eggs, and minnows, just as the water is going down early in the morning.
    Trout fishing is slow but picks up during generation. Nymphs and soft hackle flies are catching some nice rainbows and Browns below the Weir Dam and around the faster moving water. There are a few trout stacking up in the deeper pools and around other structure like bridges and rocks or shaded over hanging banks. Bright colored power bait and salmon eggs are a good choice, but just about anything brightly colored will get their attention. Live Minnows are always a great choice as well.
