Ok so it's hot, but the water temps on the "Wass are still cold and the fishing is good. We have a new selection of Isonychia dry fly's coming in to finish up this hatch along with some new terrestrial and attractor patterns for summer fishing. I know i sound like a broken record, but it's like ive been saying all season the river is fishing great. Pick out your bugs and fish them well and you will catch fish. If not then stop in the shop and we will help you pick the right bugs. This is a great time of year for fishing on the Hiwassee, just make sure to drink plenty of water and stay hydrated while your out in the sun.
B.S.
Reliance Fly & Tackle is located in Reliance, Tennessee is the Hiwassee's only fly shop. But it is so much more nestled in the heart of the Cherokee National Forest on the banks of the Hiwassee River. This area is home to some of the southeast Tennessee’s best trout fishing, hunting, camping, river sports and site seeing. A trip to this area is like a journey back in time. When you're looking to unwind, or get away for a day or two, this is the place to do it all.
