South Holston River Tailwater
AI-suggested draft · review before you go
The South Holston River tailwater below South Holston Dam is widely regarded as one of the finest trout streams in the eastern United States, with exceptional sulfur hatches and large wild brown trout. The river's cold, fertile water produces prolific aquatic insect populations that support trophy-class trout. The catch-and-release section near the dam is particularly productive for large fish.
