Fly fishing the legendary tuckasegee river for brooks, browns, and rainbows. Join us on this epic adventure as we explore the crystal clear, trout-filled waters of North Carolina's premiere fly fishing stream. We aim to complete the "Tuck Slam", while also seeking what we consider a "slab" trout. We hope you guys enjoy this video!

Graduated 88 from Franklin, HS. I have fished every inch of the Tuck, Highlands and Natahala rivers. Good to see my fishing grounds. 😊

Hey Gentlemen, I enjoyed the video. This is my first time watching your channel. The only thing I would recommend is to take off the wool gloves when handling the fish. The wool can strip off the fish's slime coating. Thanks for great content!

Thanks man, good call on the wool

Glad I could help! I've been wearing nitrile gloves under my warmer gloves, and I've learned it's safe to handle fish with the nitrile gloves on. They don't strip off the slime coating if they're wet.

I was there last week, man, the water is low! Recently stocked though, and a lot of fish. Nice video!

There are so many trout in the Tuck

Nice fish. Enjoyed watching. Which fly were you catching them on? The wooly which is not a nymph by the way or the rubber leg nymph?

Both! Was referring to the pats as the nymph in this vid. A wooly with a small dropper like a zebra midge or copper john would work well too out there

Was there last week, just posted our video in fact. Ended up with 11x trout that day. It definitely started out cold 🥶

Awesome videos guys....I'm from murrells inlet SC can you suggest a stream close to here ? I started fly fishing 32 years ago but moved from CT and haven't been trout fishing in 10 years... thanks in advance

There’s nothing really close to murrells inlet, you’re on the opposite side of the state from where you catch trout. The closest exception is the lower saluda tailrace in Columbia

responding from about 45 minutes away (guessing...) It looks like, when you switched to nymphing, you were using the white woolly bugger above the nymph? I assume in that gin-clear water you used that as an indicator, as it would remain visible even if it sank slightly? If so, your nymph must have been only slightly weighted?

Tuck is most heavily stocked trout stream in North Carolina. NCWRC stocks roughly 60,000 lbs. Brown, Brook and Rainbows in Jackson County, NC and another 27,000 lbs. of trout in Swain County, NC. Thats a LOT of stocked fish....but it's a shame the state stocks 95% sterile fish, if those stockers were 100% diploid there would be millions of fish in that river.

Agreed. You’d think we could take a page from Tennessee’s book and try to create some similar fisheries to their highly successful tailwaters. Many bigger rivers in this state besides just the tuck that could/should hold huge self-sustaining populations
