[QUOTE="HottyToddy, post: 5719730, member: 22896"] Headed out to Hot Springs, NC in mid October for a wedding. Have all Saturday (until 5pm) and however long I want Sunday to try to FINALLY catch a trout with my fly rod. I’ve gone to the Clinch a couple of times out of Nashville and have had 0 luck at all. Few questions: - I understand Spring Creek gets stocked with trout, so that’ll be my primary target. Any tips/sections/flies/etc would be appreciated. From what I’m gathering on a general search of western NC in October small dries are the ticket. - Is the French Broad wadeable here? I checked the depth and flows, and it looks like it’s sitting around 2-3’, but I’m not sure about how much water is moving through it and if it’s safe to wade. If it’s safe, I’m sure I’ll take a stab at smallmouth once I have caught a trout or two Those are my primary targets due to proximity. I’m willing to drive 45 to an hour to another stream if it’s significantly better than spring creek. Any and all tips/flies/sections of stream to focus would be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
