Fishing and River Description: The Watauga river is with out a doubt one of my
most favorite rivers to fish. It has showed me more spectacular days than any
other river I've fished.
Fishing on the Watauga is year round, but tends to be best in the spring and fall
when no genorators are runing. The river is fishable during generation, but is
limited to throwing big nymph rigs and streamers.
