Ever wondered how the changing seasons affect our fly fishing? As February rolled out and March rolls in, the waters of Middle Tennessee offer unique challenges and opportunities for anglers.

March is a fantastic time to refine your fly fishing techniques. The cooler temperatures mean fish, especially trout, are more active in certain areas. This month, I want to share some insights on how to make the most of your fishing trips during this transitional period.

Think About It:

• Focus on deeper pools where fish tend to gather in cooler weather.
• Use nymphs and streamers that mimic the natural food and prey in these waters.
• Pay attention to the water temperature; it can give you clues about fish behavior.

Last week, I was guiding on the Caney Fork and we encountered a particularly active group of fish. They were unusually active in a stretch of the river that’s typically quiet. I had to change my plan. Let's face it, if we didn't have a plan we wouldn't enough things to change, right? Anyway, it reminded me of the unpredictability of fly fishing and nature in-general. We all need to be ready for any and everything the fish throw at us on a daily basis. We are always learning. So go out and see what the fish "throw at you".

Whether you're perfecting your cast or learning new techniques, the drift boat is the perfect classroom. If you're ready to experience the best of Middle Tennessee fly fishing, book your trip with us today.

Thanks and See You Next Time.
