The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency Conducted Its Annual Trout Sampling In The Watauga River, The First Since Hurricane Helene Hit The Region. TWRA Officials Say Floodwaters From The Doe River Flowed Into The Watauga River, Prompting Concerns About Trout Populations. Initial Results From The Agency’s Electrofishing Survey Show Trout Numbers Upstream And Downstream Of The Doe River Are Average Or Better Than Expected. Final Data Is Still Being Analyzed.
