Orvis Sevierville's Tip of the Week
It is gonna be a decent week ahead of us fishing wise, just keep an eye out for thunderstorms later on in the week! Hatches have been out so keep an eye out for Caddis and sulfurs. Woolly buggers, worms and nymphs with a collar and/or bead head, colors~ Orange, yellow, purple and red are working well. Top water have been caddis, yellow sally's and some terrestrials.
