You've probably left the area but my favorite SFSH tip is to use a furled leader to enhance your stealth! That stream is awesome during a BWO hatch, I bet they were going off this last weekend. The fish munch sulfurs a good part of the year and midges all year long.... long story short I need to get back there.

--I am up here now. If you're planning on wading, there is a small window in the morning before the water gets too high. That's been the pattern lately but check the latest release schedule. Small size 18 - 20 black and olive midges have worked well.

Hello, I am heading to the South Holston river outside Bristol, TN this weekend. I've done my research on their local fly shop sites and have their recommended flies.-------- Original message --------From: Theodore Wanstrath <twanstrath@gmail.com>Date: 10/7/26 10:54 AM (GMT-05:00)To: Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders <tidal-potomac-fly-rodders@googlegroups.com>Subject: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} South Holston TN
Does anyone here have any of their own tips if they have visited this river? Thanks, Ted.--
