About this water
The Clinch River tailwater below Norris Dam is one of the Southeast's finest trout fisheries, with cold, nutrient-rich water supporting exceptional trout growth rates. The river is renowned for large brown trout and consistent rainbow trout populations. Midge fishing is productive year-round, and the river hosts significant sulfur and caddis hatches in warmer months.
