.....got to get my fly fishing fix in. Took the camper up to Roane Mountain and we truly enjoyed the park. Only fished Fri and Sun mornings as we spent most of the days visiting my dad and stepmother on Watauga Lake. Started both mornings before daylight and it was cool, 48° Friday morning and around 50° Sunday morning, thank goodness I had a rain jacket in the truck. The trout were on fire, was very common to pull multiples from a run. Fri morning produced all bows and 1 brown, Sun morning I fished lower down stream and all but 4 were browns. Fished a total of 5hrs between the two mornings and brought 40 to hand, had that many more on that came off. I don't use a heavy hook set in heavy canopy, hate retying all the time. Beautiful stream and produced well, excellent fly fishing stream.
