Cody you gave me so much great info in the shop the other day. One tip from a bad Indiana carp guy is to leave your cicada sit. Almost a dead drift. They tend to just float not a lot of movement. I’ve had my best smallie on a cicada that sat for 45 seconds after splash down.

Fished the bridge in May (trout festival), got a nice buck on a bugger. Lots of rain, chocolate water. Great fishery, looking forward to citigo and upper section of the tellico.

Is that one of those Lamson rods? Casting action looks nice, how do you like it?
@tellicooutfitters89892 ай бұрын
Yes it is! It's the Cobalt 9' 8wt. I have the Cobalt in both 7wt and 8wt and love them both. We carry them at the shop and they're a great rod for the money. Good mix of up close accuracy with the ability to make longer casts so it works very well for fly fishing for carp.

It's a 2005 Alumacraft 1650MV with a Tohatsu 50hp. I basically bought it as just the hull and outboard and rewired the whole thing and added the floor and eva foam decking that I picked up from Amazon. It's wide and stable and drafts 6" of water or less so can be push poled through shallow water. It's a great setup for the lakes and I've also taken it to the Everglades for some inshore fishing.

I’ve never fly fished on warmer water but I may give it a shot on a river here in Georgia. Nice video btw!! Btw you or one of your guides may have to teach me a little about streamer fishing. I’m not sure if I just didn’t cover enough water or what but yeah. I skipped some spots because I assumed they wouldn’t hold a big brown but maybe I was reading the water wrong. I was throwing bigger flies though just chasing after a trophy fish. I seen one big brown give a chase after my streamer but that was it. Finding big fish is a challenge, still had fun being on the water up in the mountain though.
@bengibson23833 ай бұрын
I know streamer fishing is not usually a game of numbers, I was kind of targeting for a bigger fish but there’s definitely some things I could be taught probably lol.

The Goldie there was first created in West Virginia. That strain was developed in the Petersburg West Virginia hatchery and now they have been sold to places all over the country and raised and stocked . Also renamed in those places that trout has the most names of any freshwater fish now I do believe 😂 but the original name is the golden trout /goldie is what they named the trout when it was first bred. That’s why West Virginia now has the Gold rush every spring . They stock 60-70 select places around the state with a stocking of all Goldies during the gold rush 👍

Looks like you had a great trip. I use to always have a saltwater reel set up with right hand retrieve. Between casting and fighting fish all day with the same arm it would become a noodle. It really helped me to cast with one arm and fight with the other. I’m itching for another trip now.

The lower 10 miles of River Rd is closed while they replace the bridge at Bald River Falls. The project is supposed to be completed this coming fall. Until then you can take the detour route via Wildcat Rd or North River Rd to access the upper 8 miles of river near the hatchery and green cove, which is still open.
