Op lives in Lenoir I think, and Walt's shop is in Morganton. If you want to
drive a few more hours you could go over to Robinsville. No roffers live
around there I don't think, but it's close to Snowbird, Santeetlah and the
Nantahala - which can have SJ like crowds on weekends. g

Mark and Walt are in western NC, wayno is in middle earth NC, and pj and
i are in eastern NC. If you decide to try some shad fishing in eastern
nc, we are about 5 or 6 hours south of D.C. straight down I-95. We can
do a bit of shad fishing - the middle or lower roanoke might be going
strong by then, but the Neuse will be cranked up for sure - with a
possibility of a striper; some salt marsh fishing for trout, redfish or
flounder; or some bass fishing. Western NC is where you want to be for
mountain streams and trout. NC is a long state...about 5 hours frome my
place to Walt's and another 2 to Bryson City and the Great Smokies on
the other side of Asheville. wayno can go both ways... uh, travel wise. g

Hi all:
The invite has been passed around a few times to meet up with all y'all for
some fishing if I was ever down in your neck of the woods. It appears that I
have in my possession a plane ticket back to the USofA during spring break,
and I am planning to be in the DC area with a rental car, fly rod, and some
time to spare during the semiweek of March 27-31. I have some errands to
attend to and relations to visit with while I'm there, but I could happily
make plans for a day of fishing at either end of that time window. I know
its mid-week for those who are working, but is anyone interested in getting
together and wetting a line? I'm thinking of something like a drive down on
the afternoon of the 29th, fishing the 30th, then I could head back to DC
for my outbound flight on the evening of the 31st. Of course, I might have
more flexibility than others, so I can adjust accordingly.

Hmm?

Unless the stream is frozen over solid enough to require stomping through
the ice covering the honey holes and then waiting two hours for the fish to
unspook, I'm likely game. One trip like that was enough to last me a couple
more years.

Thanks, that might be a great starting point, Mark. Where do you live, and
is there good water nearby? Are there other roffians in the neigborhood?

I live he http://tinyurl.com/6duu4

We can fish this and many other areas: http://tinyurl.com/68udq

Here's the link to: http://www.ncwildlife.org/

You've been informed of the Ruffian crowd, and yes there is a great deal of
GOOD water nearby. I fish for wild trout primariy, but there is a stocking
chart--by county--at the wildlife site.

As far as the temp goes, I con't say for sure, but I expect temps to run in
the 60s by then. Ice fishin' not likely.

And is it likely that we won't be ice fishing? I've been living at 3deg S
for a few years, and have forgotten what Winter means in the eastern
seaboard.

temp rises towards the end of the month.

Wimp. I did that today. By the way, if you find yourself sliding down a
snowcovered hillside, aiming for a flying leap into two feet of freezing
water studded with large, pointy boulders, a number three Loomis Adventure
reel attached to a ADG Titan 8' 4wt is just like an ice axe.
