Orvis Sevierville's Tip of the Week
It's gonna be a week of sunshine and rain so plan those fishing adventures accordingly! Hatches have been out on the water so keep an eye out for top water action! Nymphs are the way to go this week. Stone flies and CDC collard flies have been working well along with some bugger patterns. For top water, caddis and terrestrials have been working well.

Techniques & Tips as of 4/29/25
Some caddis and sulfurs have been spotted on the water! We've been having a good amount of luck on larger stoneflies such as Patt's rubber legs. Alternative flies are - egg patterns, CDC collared nymphs and midges. If your able to swing some buggers or some single hook streamers in those deep pools, it's not a bad route to take either.
