Mossy Creek Fly Fishing Forecast 11/2/2026
Andy brings us this week's forecast: sunny 70s through Wednesday, then a chance of rain Wednesday into Thursday that could freshen flows. Here are the highlights, and watch the video for the full details.
Weather and water: the water is clear and the fish are a little wary, so bring a stealthy approach and light tippet.
Mountain brook trout: spawning hasn't fully started, so leave paired fish alone and fish the heads of pools. Try dry droppers, caddis or blue-winged olives.
Mossy Creek and Beaver Creek: nymphs and streamers are working, and browns will start moving to spawn.
Spring Run and Jackson River: the spring creeks and the Jackson tailwater have some of the better flows around, with plenty of rainbows on the Jackson.
Delayed Harvest: look to the big pools with bright attractors, eggs and small streamers. Size down to midges in clear water, or size up to a Pat's Rubber Legs if rain brings the water up.
Smallmouth: the season is about done. Look for fish in the deeper areas.
Musky: it's a good time of year. Sight fish with a smaller jig-style fly.
Flies for this week: nymphs, streamers and trout flies.
Watch Andy's full forecast below for the details on each river.
