Orvis Sevierville's Tip of the Week
It's gonna be a pretty solid week to hit the water and fish! We got beautiful weather incoming this week just keep an eye on Wednesday evening and Thursday for scattered showers! Nymphs are the way to go this week. Stone flies and CDC collard flies have been working well along with some bugger patterns.

Techniques & Tips as of 3/18/25
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.
