Heading to Charlotte!

Hi folks. I'm moving to Charlotte and would really appreciate some input
about fly-fishing down there.

Thanks!

You'll have to drive a couple of hours West to do any cold water/trout
fishin'. There is plenty of warm water fishin' to be had in and around
Charlotte.

However: Read my TR's and give me a holler, if you are interested in
fishin' some beautiful trout streams.

my condolences on the sentence to charlotte, but there are plenty of
good watersheds with fish not too far from there. where are you coming
from and what kind of flyfishing do you prefer? bass lakes abound in the
vicinity. you'll be an hour and a half or so from most decent trout
streams. look for the route to morganton, find wilson creek outfitters
in the old downtown area, and ask for wally. i think there may be a fly
shop or two in charlotte yellow pages you can check out as well.

Thanks, Jeff.

I'm coming from Delaware. I'm used to stocked trout in small streams.
Every once in a while we get up to the Yellow Breeches.

Too bad about the lack of trout fishing in Charlotte, guess I'll have to try
for some bass.

Actually, though Charlotte has its shortcomings, it's not far from trout
fishing to the west and salt water to the east, with bass fishing in
between. I know lots of people who'd think that's not a bad deal, all in
all. I'd guess that within a two hour drive are some pretty good trout
streams.

I go to Charlotte from time to time - going on Thursday for the day, in
fact.

Don't let those boys bad mouth this fine town. They can't look down on
us anymore anyway. We just got a Ham's Restaurant.

Seriously, you wont find much trout fishing in these parts. Way too hot.
The bass pond fishing is great if you can get on a pond. Fishing the
Catawba River at I 85 will bring in some fun smallies. If you've got a
boat large mouth, strippers, crappie and bream are plentiful on the
lakes. Matter of fact, if you have a boat I want to be your friend.

You can get to some mountain waters in an hour and a half from downtown,
great waters in 2. Position yourself in the northwest area and you'll
be even closer. Check out http://ncwildlife.com for more info.

Thanks, Drew.

I'll be positioned in Union County. Just over the line. I was thinking
about a boat, but I think I'll start off with a kayak and see how that goes.
2 hours isn't too bad. I'll just have to make a day of it and the wife will
just have to understand! Either that or I'll be a grumpy ******* until she
lets me go.
