Well said.

Sad to say that John Thurman passed away this morning.
I know he helped make a lot of our lives better and did a lot for the clinch river and its anglers.
Will be missed.

korkers are a neat idea but ive had 2 different pairs and the stitching just doesnt hold up.
One pair gave out in under a year.

I'm on my second pair of patagonia ultralights and i like them a...

I bought my son a Reddington Form practice rod.
Put a little 2wt reel on it with electric tape. You can even put an ultralight spinning reel on it.
Its a great blue line rod and pond rod. Long...

If its just a big brown you're after, i think you'd do just as well on the little river.
If you just wanna try deep creek, like old tom said, you need to hike for a while.

Chase, this is a fantastic fish. Congrats.

its a great little loop hike.
gets pretty snakey in the summer so be careful, especially down by the main river.
hopefullly the big flood event we had recently cleaned out that bend in the river...

it gets a lot of silty run-off from gravel roads. Turns a deep blue-green color pretty often.
Also gets quite low in the dry months.
Doubt there's many fish, if any, you'd want to bother with.

Wow! decided to check and see if this place was still here.
Like the new look

I assume just rock hopping up a cool mtn stream.
Doubt they are really using it as an effective means of getting from point A to B.

wow that is tiny water.
I probably would have looked at it and decided it was just a wet weather drainage.

You'll be walking distance form the fly shop.
They can sell you the right license & stamp. Buy some flies or something and they'll likely give you a pointer or 2 on where to go.

Joe, anytime i've inherited old tying materials, I always put them in a ziplock, throw it in the freezer for a couple of weeks to kill any bugs, and then wash them with a tiny bit of woolite in...

Yep, not sure if just a coincidence, but seems like ever since they re-did the parking area at the trailhead, the stream above the cabins has been getting hammered 7 days a week.

Well, sort of.
I don't think they've had stock on volumes 1 to 16 in several years.
My wife usually gets me one every year for Christmas and they never have those.

Unfortunately, they haven't done very well with the archives. The older volumes are very hard to find on DVD & i'm pretty sure there's a good bit that never made it past VHS.

There's a few that...

About 10 years ago, I left home without my expensive sunglasses on the way to the park. Swung into LRO and bought a cheap pair for $30. They have, still to this day been the best pair i've ever...

Guessing around 9"-9.5", but i've never actually put a measuring tape beside a fish in the park, so who knows.

Most important thing after the water has slowed on a sunny day is presentation imo. Long casts with a soft landing. Limiting your false casts will help with twisting tippets and leaders (as well as...

Water levels are low right now.
Guessing if we don't get significant rain very soon, we'll start hearing drought talk.
August could be really bad.

Depends on the depth of water i'm fishing.
I like my dropper to bump along the bottom, but not enough to mess up the drift of my dry fly.

Usually 12-18".

South Mills River is in Pisgah NF.

When you call, even if TWRA can't make it out there in time to question the person you're calling about, at least you're letting them know there's a problem. Enough calls and they will start to have...

I tie them several different ways, but this is my go to:

I understand not allowing people on the lake during the work phases and draw downs, but the quote I posted states that "Brookfield has bought the lake". Not even sure how this is possible.
