Fished this section blind with a little input from johnathon at the fly box near there. Its awesome guys. Rental houses on riverside rd. Yall have been more informative than any other youtube vids. Keep it up. Most on youtube try to keep it a secret. This is great info. Doug Johnston
Thanks men! I am a bird guy and those feeding on a hatch are typically swallows: Tree Swallow, Barn Swallow, Cliff Swallow, Northern Rough-wing Swallow, and even Purple Martins on the Holston
What midges would you recommend and size? I have been I few times to soho. Last trip out I finally had decent luck in a size 18 ice cream cone midge. I never tried anything that small before. But felt I could have done better if I went even smaller.
@@swvirginiaoutdoorsman8479 Zebras in black, olive, brown, and purple sizes 22-24. Sulfur mayfly 18, pheasant tails in 18. Split cases in 18. Sulfur / PMD with a a split case dropper if you see any hatching signs.
@@swvirginiaoutdoorsman8479 If you want to really get into the midge game go with thread flies, black and olive are always great Tan and cream some times. Bring a stomach pump and it’s game on.
Tne Tennessee River does not flow into the Gulf of Mexico. It flows south past Chattanooga, into Alabama, then turns north again, crosses Tennessee into Kentucky, and joins the Ohio River, which flows into the Mississippi.
Extremely helpful content. Thank you for putting this together.
Very good talk guys thank you
See you on the river someday!!

And a great artist! Enjoyed meeting brother and look forward to seeing you again in the future!
Thanks so much for taking the time to do this. I have fished the Watauga frequently. Now it's time to add the Soho.
Very well put together, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing. I am planning at trip in May and this is invaluable!
Glad it was helpful!
Just got back from fishing SH and had a blast!
that's awesome glad you had a great time...
Great information.
I love playing the midge game below the weir dams.
You and me both!

Was up on the Holsten last month. Check out Tail waters lodge, nice place to stay.
Great point forget about that place it is in an ideal spot and good folks thanks for sharing
Is there any place to fish using baits of "power bait" sitting comfortably?
Yeah just below the weir dam you can sit and fish
Tne Tennessee River does not flow into the Gulf of Mexico. It flows south past Chattanooga, into Alabama, then turns north again, crosses Tennessee into Kentucky, and joins the Ohio River, which flows into the Mississippi.
Rusty midge is called a “sweet thing”
😊
Can you use felt sole waders?
yeah that's what we usually wear on Soho good question
Felt sole boots are almost a prerequisite. Those rocks are extremely slick! A wading belt is a must if wearing chest waders.
Do people run jet boats on the SoHo?
Great question I’ve never seen one up there or even on Watauga… I’d contact Soho fly shop they’ll know
@@wildbearings thank you. Great video btw. Really enjoyed the content and learning the river!
