Tim's Roaring River Fishing Report

 

 

 

 

Tim Homesley has been fishing Roaring River State Park for over 30 years, and has fished an average of 300 days per year for the last 23 years.

 

 

TIM'S LATEST FISHING REPORT:




The water came up last night at Roaring River, but has already dropped back to about 400 CFS now this is still pretty high but zone one looks pretty good zone two the best I could tell did not look too bad but the water will be very high today and extra weight will be needed if you have a fly rod and you try to use it a sinking line will really help. But the river is fishable and it will probably be pretty good fishing with the guys using plastics, spoons, heavy jigs, and spinners. The water is murky and will probably remain murky and off color for a few weeks should not really affect the fishing a whole lot except we will not be able to see them so it makes sight fishing very difficult, but there will be areas where it can be done after a few days, fish the eddies and the little backwater areas that start showing up as the water drops back, the fish will hold in these areas because they will not have to fight the current as hard. The fish will also go deep because there is less current near the bottom. Good luck today.
