Not sure of any rental places downstream of Asheville but I can tell you the fishing is pretty good. A nice section is section 8 from Redmon dam to Banard, no real whitewater and darn good fishing. ...

Love to join ya but I'm swamped right now. Maybe next time.

Thanks Mike. We normally float/fish the Buchanan area so I'll give them a call. I have fond memories of the James and looking forward to fishing it again after a 5 year recess.

Thanks again.

Nice report and you are correct about stripers into Newport. The lower stretch into Newport has some big slow pools but can fish great.

Sweet! Gotta love smallies from the smaller streams and WNC is full of them. Keep up smallie chasin!

Several of my buddies and I are headed for a boyz weekend on the James and we're looking for a dependable shuttle service. Not looking for your honey holes just reliable shuttle man or woman.

Nearly 20 years ago when I started guiding I had no idea that I would be guiding more than fishing. The idea of guides getting to fish all the time is a joke! So when I get a chance to fish with my...

Matt, Good chance I'll have an open seat for you on Sunday. If you are interested just drop me a line at scott@nconthefly.com if nothing else I'll be glad to point you in the right direction.

Where is this boat located. This is exactly what my buddy has been looking for.

I'm heading out the door for a guide trip but I'll be in touch this evening.

No doubt some serious water, gotta be careful in there for sure. Sent my rod to Sage and as usual they have stopped replacing the SP series so they are upgrading my rod to a SLT. Fine by me, just...

Loaded up two 13ft Aire Super Pumas and headed for the gorge last weekend. Had lots of fun playing in the whitewater, chucking big poppers at smallies and hanging with my crew. River flowing 700...

Nice fish Darrin! River looks to be in great condition, good Spring flows to hopefully last through the Summer months. I'll see you out there.

Thanks for the replies folks..... these fish were all caught on white size 4 Shenandoah Poppers. These are hard body poppers with thick rubber legs. These lampreys are all over this river but the...

Had posted these on our blog and thought I'd share them here also. Just a few nice river smallies caught on top water poppers over the past few weeks for your viewing pleasure. Can't tell you where...

David Goodfred asked me to forward this along, just trying to get the word out. Hope some of y'all can attend.

River Smallmouth Bass Angler Meeting

Do you like to river smallmouth bass fish in...

I fish that area and would be glad to help. Some suggestions that come to mind on the top of my head.... Holston below confluence of S. and North Forks. This is a tailrace but not a cold water...

Welcome neighbor! I live in Marion and fish the FB often.

Clay next time you get up around the Morganton are lets hook and chase some river bass.

Just a quick note to let everyone know about the Great Southern Fishing Show in Atlanta GA on Feb 19-20, 2011 This is the first year for this show but I'll bet this will be just the beginning. ...

I'd suggest really looking at the TFO's since we sell way more TFO combos than the Ross combos. Not sure which one is better but can surely tell you which one is the better seller.

Looks like a great time was had by all. Hate I couldn't make the Rodeo, maybe next time. I've been wanting to fish the Duck and that was a great excuse for me to get my butt over there but it...

Good to hear Tom, looking forward to hooking up with ya.

Not sure if I'm too late or not but for quick access to the FB I'd look at the Long Shoals Rd exit off of 26. And also the Bent Creek area where the Blue Ridge Parkway crosses the FB. Both of these...

Well the fish are also confused! What I consider Trout Water is from Exit 75 Parker Padgett Rd upstream through Old Fort and beyond. From Parker Padgett Rd downstream to Tom Johnson's Camping...

Sorry for the long delay but I've been on the water so much very little time for posting. BasserDrew and Catawba are spot on.... it's Trout water below Lake James. If you want smallies in that...
