Delayed Harvest (DH) Waters:

   The fall season is rolling along pretty good right now. The Delayed Harvest regulations have kicked in on both the Hiwassee and Tellico Rivers in East Tn. as well as the Upper Toccoa in North GA. Not a whole lot to say other than that everything seems to fishing as well as can be expected. The Tellico and the Toccoa are still running on the low side, but it makes for easy wade fishing. The Hiwassee is fishing good also and we have been running trips over the past couple of weeks that are producing some good fish.

     We do need all the help we can get though. If you like to fish on any of these Delayed Harvest (DH) waters. Please contact the appropriate agency if you see anyone violating the DH regulations. I have been seeing a lot of this on the Hiwassee and I am sure its happening on all the other streams as well. We are trying to inform as many people about the new regulations on the Hiwassee as it has not been marked well and we are trying to get some signage from the TWRA to mark all the roadside pulloff's.

 Here's a link with some footage of the Tellico DH we shot the other day. This is a first and so it's a little rough around the edges.
