What to fish on the Hiwassee River in November
- Beadhead Caddis Pupa #14-16: Little brown caddis hatch into mid-November (Perfect Fly Store): fish the pupa near the bottom.
- Blood Midge #20-22: Tandem larva and pupa under an indicator: the shop standard here.
Little brown caddis hatch into mid-November, but no source names a dry for them. Delayed harvest is stocked; nymph the runs and drop a midge behind.

What's hatching
- Little brown caddis hatch into mid-November. · Perfect Fly Store
- Generation decides the day: wade only with the turbines off; one turbine is wadeable with care; with the water running, float or fish the edges. When it is high, streamers work because of the forage fish. · Perfect Fly Store
