River Information

The South Holston River is one of Tennessee Valley Authority’s Dam controlled rivers. The Dam is a hydroelectric plant, producing electricity for the surrounding area. The river itself comes out of the bottom of a deep mountain lake and together, these factors combine to keep the water at a constant temperature 12 months a year.


The South Holston River is famous for its sulphur hatches which occur daily from April thru early November.

 

The river is home to 5,000-6,000 trout per mile. All Brown Trout are wild fish, and the South Holston is full of them.

The Watauga River near Elizabethton, TN is another one of the TVA tailraces in East Tennessee, and just 15 miles away. The Watauga is a beautiful river full of Browns, Rainbow and Brook Trout. You have a great chance of catching a Grand Slam on the Watauga River. The Watauga has Awesome Caddis hatches during the spring t and Great Blue Winged Olive hatches during the Fall, Winter and Spring. After the Caddis hatches are done the sulphurs will start and the fishing is great. The Watauga River is home to 4,000 to 5,000 fish pure mile.
