Yes it is. Tribs draining the Blue Ridge such as Chestnut were recently pumping 20 cfs/per sq. mile of drainage. Tribs in the middle basin finally got hammered last night. I would expect flows to...

The more one paddles a particular boat, reflexes develop making "unstable" boats stable. Muscle development in the lower abdomen through much practice is key to developing reflexes which ultimately...

Now that I have started flyfishing, I could make good use of a Native Versaboard or the Superfishal. It seems however that the Versaboard is a Liquid Logic holdover with too few handles. I'm trying...

I can keep a few items dry while wearing waders. Wet wading on the other hand.....well I get a bit carried away at times and find myself armpit deep if not swimming, unless of course it is smaller...

Thanks Jim. Another chunk just chilling on a long sand bottom flat with minimal structure just like the other fish I hooked a couple weeks back. I suppose the mature fish are still in recovery mode...

2013 has been the most interesting fishing year, almost surreal at times. Once again, the humble Dobsonfly nymph aka the woolly bugger enticed a pretty decent fish. I did managed to land this one...

I understand Brett. Could not resist messing with you a little. BTW, why do you prefer smallies over lmb? You are throwin away some good water down to your south and east....and yes, it has rocks!...

Sayeth the non-local angler to the local angler:rolleyes:

RW did a fine job redefined hot-spotting @ NC@ aka Hotpot.com. If it's any consolation, I have never targeted any stream due to info...

Alternate between silver F7 Rapalas and Rebel wee Crawdads, not teeny wee. Brown craws do not work as the others. Probably have caught at least a thousand Roanokes on these lures and I sure do miss...

Lakes?

I can get you on the front page. I've located some 3-5 pound streambreds. When many are holding smoke poles in Nov., I'm out on the river on those Tim Burton days having a big ole time.

Ahh, the words of a diehard smallie fanatic.

My first love was the Roanoke Bass. I am presently enamoured with the Brown trout. My relationship with SMB is one of convenience. If the smb are...

Hoping to hit some water next weekend but fear the smallies may be on the beds which makes for some slow fishing. According to Va fisheries biologists, SMB become interested in spawning when the...

It would also be great if some the locals would quit using smb for Flathead bait...but we all know Muskies and Flatheads do not eat smallies and Rock Bass.

Probably dropping eggs. I would be interested to know just how may sm vacate the Y and venture far up the tribs. Even the upper reaches of the Y tribs become very thick with fairly decent sized...

Caught my first smallie on a flyrod a little over a week ago. I managed to catch 3 in the 15-18 inch range and a couple smaller ones on my first outing at a fairly small Pee Dee basin trib just 10...

Explanation of water clarity letter code. I may start running a white rule in the water to determine precise clarity depth.

A. Visibility over 30 inches. This typically occurs in Fall, Winter...

No smaller than F5. I prefer F7. I also do not use the Teeny wee, but just the wee craw.

I've fished several streams in the NC Piedmont to produced decent fish that had drainage sizes 25 sq. miles. I have tried one that was only ten sq. miles but there simply was not enough deep water...

Just noticed the thread. I may need it in the near future being that I will be heavily involved with the Boy Scouts. Will try to get back with you in a couple weeks.

I frequently kayak/wade upstream and have no issues with my boat which is a very affordable and lightweight Perception Prescador 10. Many people complain about the seats and seating position of...

More pics.

Went to the hills yesterday to the somewhat local C&R stream for a little streambred Brown trout action. The roads were a bit slick in the hill country as well as the rocks and trails, all due to the...

Dang it, I should have bought the BVK instead of the the Echo Ion #7. The Ion is obviously usable but is not what I had hoped for. I may go ahead and purchase the BVK being it is still available. ...

Found a decent deal on a TFO BVK 6wt. Saltwater version. Is this rod well suited for freshwater streamer fishing for bass and trout or should I pass? Will be throwing sneaky petes, clousers, and #4...
