My dad and I got out Saturday and had a great day. The foliage and the river really couldn't be prettier right now. The weather was amazing too.

The fishing was good, not great. I caught 12 or so rainbows all 12-14 inches above Greer in 2-3 hours. The fish are colored amazingly as they have been all year.

My dad caught several bows and a 15 inch Smallie to boot. He got a good bite on an olive Woolly Bugger all day. We each caught 1 or 2 on a few other patterns but nothing consistent.

The fly of the day was a Black Stonefly in any form. I kept losing em, so I had to switch patterns a good bit. Seemed like the bigger the better even on up to a number 4. Rubber legs seemed to increase the bite.

There were clouds of assorted bugs when we put in at noon. Lots of caddis in the air. some rising fish here and there. nothing really came to my caddis emergers, though.

Get out there if you can.

Aaron, I was out there as well... overnight floated Greer to Turner.

I found the best bite to be Sat afternoon... big stone flies and Don's crawdad were the ticket.

I tried nymphs and buggers as well, but never had a hit on anything but the two flies above.

The fish were fat and healthy, and the weather was incredible.

Great pic! The fish sure are pretty this year.
