This is the backdrop of Riveridge. www.LiveWaterProperties.com Live Water: At Riveridge, fly fishing is our passion and we are surrounded by some of the best, most diverse destinations in the country. East Tennessee is not only blessed with gorgeous, rugged mountains that harbor wild rainbow, brown and brook trout, it is also home to numerous large tailwater fisheries that provide ample opportunities for trophy trout and smallmouth bass fishing. For those unfamiliar, a tailwater fishery is a river that is created by water release from a dam. Years ago, Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) dammed numerous rivers to create large reservoirs. For the purpose of flood control and power generation, water is consistently released through large turbines at the dam forming a river below. Because this water is drawn from deep inside the reservoir and barely affected by air temperatures above the water, temperatures are very consistent, approximately 50 degrees on average, which is ideal for trout. This means that whether a 90-degree summer day or a 30-degree winter day, water temperatures in a tailwater fishery will still remain in the neighborhood of 50 degrees. However, the farther down river from the dam, the more temperature fluctuations are seen in the water. Tailwater downriver temperatures depend on how frequently water is discharged from the dam and the depth of the reservoir.

  • North Fork Holston River Report 2017
    North Fork Holston River 2017 From its origin in the southeast corner of Bland County, the North Fork of the Holston River flows more than 100 miles through Southwest Virginia before crossing the Tennessee State line near the community of Yuma. The river boasts an outstanding smallmouth bass population, and supports populations of many other fish species. Sport fish populations are sampled in the North Fork Holston River using boat- mounted electrofishing gear. This sampling equipment generates a controlled field of electricity around the boat that immobilizes the fish. The fish can then be collected with dipnets and placed in a livewell on the boat to recover. This method does not kill the fish, but only stuns the fish so that they can be collected, counted, measured and released. These population samples are typically conducted during April and May, when most fish are in shallow water. The relative abundance of each fish species is calculated as the number of fish collected per hour of sampling. This is also referred to as the catch rate or catch per unit of effort (CPE). The total length and weight of individual fish are measured to determine the condition of the fish and also to evaluate the size structure of the populations. A balanced size structure with representative numbers of both large and small fish is ideal. Mostly small fish in the population might mean that growth is slow or few fish are surviving to older ages. Mostly large fish in the population might mean that natural reproduction is lacking and there are not enough young fish being recruited to replace older fish that die.

  • Mountain Memories
    Mountain Memories By Gene A. Morrell April 2014 2 Author’s note From December 1977 through January 1979, I wrote “Mountain Memories,” a weekly column, which was published in the Sullivan County News in Blountville, Tennessee. These local and family history columns were based on my research of published sources and on oral history derived from my interviews of a number of county residents, many of whom have since passed away. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first time that all the columns have been published at one time in a single publication. The columns are listed by the dates they were printed in the newspaper, and I have added a headline to each column to aid readers in quickly determining its topic. Hundreds of individual names and place names are mentioned in the columns, and, to aid readers in locating information of particular interest to them, I have included an index at the end of this book. Gene A. Morrell 3 December 15, 1977 Introduction History abounds in East Tennessee and, especially, Sullivan County. This is not just history as written in textbooks, or as constituted in established historical monuments, but is also the oral history of local communities that has been handed down from generation to generation. This history also includes family histories contained on the yellowing, aged pages of old family Bibles, letters from long forgotten relatives, and bits and pieces of papers with timeless notes of births, deaths, or marriages. Far too often these irreplaceable Bibles or other records have been thoughtlessly destroyed or lost.

    ELIZABETHTON, TN TRAVEL DIRECTIONS TO/FROM FREE PARKING AT BMS ELIZABETHTON, TENNESSEE TO BMS From Elizabethton, go north on US 19E into Bluff City, staying in the right lane. Just past the State Route 44 traffic signal, take the right ramp onto northbound US 11E towards Bristol. Continuing north on US 11E (see Diagram D2), you will cross the Boone Lake bridge (Charlie Worley Bridge) into Bristol. After crossing the Charlie Worley Bridge, get in the right lane. Get off at the Highway 394 interchange (a right-side exit); at the bottom of the ramp, turn right onto eastbound Highway 394 and stay in the right lane. Go through the traffic signal at Tennessee Highway 390, staying in the right lane. To go to Speedway Parking, take a right turn at the next intersection (White Top Road); Speedway Parking is the first driveway on the left. To go to Whitetop Creek Park, continue straight on Highway 394 past the Dragway Entrance and take the next right onto Sportsway Drive at the Copperhead Entrance.

Southbound US 11E is among the heaviest-traveled of all the post-race routes. The route listed below through the Chinquapin community is a few miles longer, but actually takes much less time because the volumes are less and the speeds are much higher. The route back in the Bristol area is shown on the White Top Route and Chinquapin Route Diagram (D31).
