Greer To Whitten 1St Weekend In April

[BigBrownTrout]

Have done this float with fly fishing buddies the past two summers in August and want to make it down twice this year at a minimum, April and August. Does the blue ribbon section fish much differently in April than August? I'm assuming the river level will be higher and we'll have to fish deeper than usual. Hopefully there will be a gravel bar that is fairly dry to camp on before Turner. We fish under Greer very slowly, as we have found that to produce the highest concentration of trout. Any tips for my 3rd trip to the 11 point? The weather forecast looks decent, probably a little to chilly for wet wading. I'll post a picture or two if we catch anything of good size. Largest fish out of the 50 I've caught out of the river almost went 18", but a buddy did catch a fatty that we taped at almost 21" - it looked like a football. Hopefully she is still around and we'll hook her. See you on Friday afternoon, Brian.

Good luck on your trip. Just listen to Brian on the fishing tips and you will do fine. Bigger spring water on 11point vs Aug. = bigger split shot. Pick up a hand full of the purple prince looking flies from Brian. They did good a week ago. He will have some other special flies/jigs for you too. Superfly
