About The River

The tailwaters of the South Holston River, located outside of Bristol, TN and spanning 15 miles, are a prime destination for trout fly fishing, with its headwaters beginning at Sugar Grove in Wythe County, Virginia and flowing into North Fork in Kingsport, Tennessee, where it forms the Holston River; the river's floodwaters are controlled by a 285-foot dam, followed by a weir dam and step grates on South Holston Lake, which releases consistent, cold, and oxygenated water into the river, creating a thriving environment for aquatic insects and trout, with sulphurs, scuds, blue-winged olives, midges, and caddis being the dominant species.

Low flows on the South Holston river have been fishing great. Long stealthy casts while presenting a dry dropper have been producing numbers along with a few quality fish.

South Holston River
Low flows on the south holston river makes for some entertaining shallow water fishing. Besides the extreme navigation issues and long cast with micro bugs can put your angling ability to the test. Fishing has been great with many rainbows and browns willing to take your fly if you present it correctly. Dry droppers are a great combo this time of year.
