Orvis Sevierville's Tip of the Week
It's gonna be a rainy and windy week ahead of us folks, so plan those fishing adventures accordingly. Be careful in higher elevations due to the chance of snow. Nymphs are the way to go this week. Stone flies and CDC collard flies have been working well along with larger stimulators if you're looking for some top water eats!
