 Big Thanks to Hookeye
I made a trip out to the Dan in Stokes County yesterday. I ran into Hookeye and he offered to take me to a spot with more fish. He knew what he was doing and put me on fish within the first 20 minutes. At the first hole, I landed a nice little rainbow and a nice little brown. Hookeye had to leave, so I headed downstream and fished a few more holes. I caught another rainbow and a brook, and missed a couple. I landed 4 fish in about 4 hours and all came on a muddler minnow. (lost the fly just before I left) All fish were around 12" and were released. It was a great day for my first time fly fishing for trout in NC. I want to thank Hookeye for being so helpful - I really appreciate it.
Hookeye, on the drive home, I noticed Dan River access where it crosses 704. Is that worth a shot? There were a few trucks down there. I plan on coming back out there as soon as work and the wife allow and I'd like to try some different spots. I wish it wasn't so far. Thanks again. |
