About this water

The Elk River tailwater below Tims Ford Dam is a productive trout fishery with cold, clear water supporting rainbow and brown trout year-round. The river is accessible from several public access points and is popular with both fly anglers and spin fishers. Midge and scud patterns are highly effective in the slower pools below the dam.
