Greetings! My boyfriend and I recently learned how to fly fish and I am wondering if anyone knows of any decent streams that we can go and catch a few trout this season? I live in Charlotte and am not too sure of where to go within 3 hours of here. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!!
I would suggest Wilson Creek clear water and just a beautiful place to spend some time even if you don’t catch fish. Within your driving range, just be careful when wading it might only look knee high deep but could be up to your head. I use an aluminum break down wading stick to check water depth when I’m not sure. Good luck.
If you're looking for ease of access, the Arart here in Mount Airy has a paved trail beside of it. The Mitchell River here in Surry County would be another good option.
Think about going to a Carolina Fly Fishing Club meeting at the Bass Pro Shops in Concord Mills. There you can not only learn more about fly fishing but attend outings all year in different spots, win some nice raffle prizes and most importantly, meet new friends with a shared interest.
Howdy. I've just begun my research into fishing near Elkin. Specifically on the Mitchell River. Do you know if it's possible to fish downstream of the Kapps Mill Dam as well or does the only fishing on the Mitchell River take place upstream of the dam?
Stone Mountain is where I learned the ropes. 4 flies that work great in this particular stream:
1 - Black Woolybugger - cast downstream and pull it to you allow it to drop to the bottom and jerk it up occationally
2 - Grey Ghost (if you can find them) - cast downstream, pull up the middle of the fast water
3 - Elk Hair Caddis - cast upstream as usual with dry flies.
4 - Yellow egg - let it sink nice and natural in calm water where you see a Brook Trout sitting.
Anywhere particular in the park or do are most of the creeks essentially the same?
