We are off to a cold start this morning with highs hitting the 40's.  Looks like the Tuckasegee River will be flowing at 1270cfs today.  I recorded another 2 inches of rain from the last system.  The good news is as of now Duke Energy has no plans to generate power from both East and West Forks Sunday.  This could be the best wading flow we have had in sometime.  We will need to keep an eye on the weather and see if it snows.

Be sure to clean all gear that comes into contact with water.  Use water heated to 140 degrees and pour over boots, waders, etc. to keep from spreading invasive species.  Anglers are conservationist and it is our responsibility to set an example and educate everyone.  Keep in mind that anyone or anything that comes into contact with the water is a potential carrier of any aquatic species.  This includes but not limited to boaters, canoes, kayaks, tubers, swimmers, and anglers.  Birds can also carry the invasive species.  More information is located on the NC Wildlife website.
