Hello Helene! This one's got us in her track, forecast to pass west of us of Friday morning, while we "enjoy" the tropical storm warning likely to be issued Thursday evening -- 35-60 mph winds, 6-10 inches of rain ... probably more than than that because we're on the east side of the storm track. Likely flooding of the river here at home -- now at just 150 cfs, I predict 9,000 cfs by Friday night -- and trees coming down.

As the trout bite slows with the lingering hot weather and warming water temperatures, get some late-summer fishing action in with smallmouth bass and striped bass on the scenic Hiwassee River in Reliance, Tennessee.

It's summertime-hot outside. Trout waters are getting warm -- some are already too warm and trout fishing is suffering on many of the traditional waters in the southern Appalachian Mountains. It's not too late, however, to enjoy summertime trout fishing on the sprawling Hiwassee River tailwater of Appalachia Lake at Reliance, TN.

Daily, cold-water releases at Appalachia Powerhouse support trout fishing -- brown, rainbow and brook trout -- through mid-August on the Hiwassee River, arguably the heaviest stocked trout fishing in Tennessee. Located just 35 miles from Blue Ridge, Georgia, Reliance is the base for float trips by anglers who enjoy great lodging options and dining of every kind in the Trout Capital of Georgia (Fannin County) while planning their trout fishing on the Hiwassee.

Weekdays on the Hiwassee promise a relief from crowded weekend waters here and the Toccoa River at Blue Ridge. Plan a trip now, Monday through Friday, on this large, scenic river and enjoy both fly-fishing and spin-fishing action that can bring dozens of trout to the net!

Half- and full-day outings on the Hiwassee River are available now from Reel Angling Adventures. Our guide team has operated for more than 20 years on the Hiwassee River and will make your outing a memorable experience for anglers young and old. Book now -- call 770-827-6657 for more information. ReelAnglingAdventures.com
