I counted 41 anglers on the Tuckasegee DH section this morning and many of them had fish on the line!  They did stock yesterday afternoon along South River Road and North River Road at various access points distributing thousands of trout for us to catch and release.

It is a bit cooler today with clouds and a good chance of rain this afternoon.  We are going to trend downward over the next couple of days even hitting the low 30's or maybe the higher 20's at night but be will warm up soon.  Definitely that time of year when we can expect 4 seasons in a week right now. 

I am still on the black stone fly nymph or woolly bugger as my two go to choices right now.  Natural colors such as olive, brown, or black would be choice but many different variations and materials lead to some pretty effective bugger patterns.

I did get a call yesterday from a property owner on Dillard Road asking me to pass word about respecting people's property and avoid sitting in swings, stepping on flowers, and parking in the private road area.  If you feel comfortable please ask them to move.  We are fortunate to have great access but I would hate to lose it.
