Holston River, Tennessee - Fishing Report - July 19, 2017
The discharges and stream levels have been a little lower this past week. Hopefully, that
will continue. We received two good reports from customers fishing for smallmouth in the
early mornings. It looks like the discharge schedule will remain the same, heavy all
afternoon..
7 Day Weather Forecast: There is a chance of rain from Saturday through next
Wednesday, otherwise clear. Highs will range from 89 to 94 and lows from 70 to 74
degrees.
