YESSSSSS!!!!

Nice fish. I don't mind fishing in the snow. Hopefully there won't be any this coming weekend when I'll be there.

I ain't from around there but if you guys would have me I'd try to make it.

Wow. That's a nice fish.

South Fork of the New River in Todd, NC two weeks ago. Could have used some advice then.

Possibly the greatest songwriter ever. Seen him many times.

That's too bad. I've scored some great deals in the bargain cave over the years

Thank the Good Lord I've found one that loves fishing as much, maybe more than I do. I know I can always have one of whatever and all I have to do is get her one too

I worked on a highway job between Helen and Cleveland. Stayed at a Ramada Inn in Helen. This was probably about 10 years ago and there was a store in Cleveland where you could get an RC and a Moon Pie for a dollar. Upper Hooch is good fishing. Need to go check it out again. Thanks BilletHead. I will. Really looking forward to it.

Thanks BilletHead. I will. Really looking forward to it.

When you say upper are you talking above the lake or just below the dam? I've fished both but it's been a long time. I used to fish Island Ford all the time. Went out there a couple of weeks ago and didn't get a bite. I've heard the stripers are eating everything in the lower end.

I think the GP land is open to the public. Fishing here is so hit and miss. Even during delayed harvest. I suspect poaching has a lot to do with it. Some folks just don't care. I'm just as happy making trips to The Ozarks, North Carolina and Tennessee.

Thanks Phil. I will look him up.And I'll be sure to stop by your place. I think I've already been talking with one of your competitors though. Sorry about that. I've never hired a guide before in my life. Not to toot my own horn but I've usually been successful anywhere I've fished. Actually My dad Is a licensed Coast Guard Captain and charter fished shortly after he retired. I just grew up learning fishing. That's all I did. Just really want to do a float trip because our time is going to be limited and for photography purposes. Will definitely stop by your place though. Thanks to all for making me feel welcome here.

I lived in Denver for a couple of years and through work I got to see all 4 corners of the state. Also some of Wyoming and Utah. I would go back out there in a heartbeat. I didn't get to do as much fishing as I would have liked but what I did get to do was amazing. I plan to get back one day and am gonna buy some property there.

Would love to see pics of your build. I want a drift boat but my gosh they are expensive. I could probably build on for 1/10th of the cost.
