The French Broad is one of my favorite rivers to fish here in North Carolina I haven’t tried the Tennessee side yet but I’ve been wanting to try it out sometime

just don't get in the water! for several years Asheville has tested it and it's positive for e. coli lol.

New sub from a freshman bass yakker just down the road in McDowell. A fellow Dobyns rod man as well. I plan on fishing the French Broad this year for sure.

[@RiverRatProductions]

Welcome to the channel! You can never go wrong with a Dobyns rod they’re easily one of the best rod companies I’ve ever used. We have a group on Facebook called WNC smallmouth club that has a bunch of local people in it as well. We also organize events, have meetings, and share information about the area. Thanks for subscribing and watching the video I really appreciate it!

Interested to know what your set up is foe this trip. I'm a huge fan of the Goats!

[@RiverRatProductions]

The zman goats are very versatile but I love to Texas rig them! You can also put them on Ned heads, different jig heads, and a trailer on a chatterbait. I’m going to be throwing the goats a lot this year and I can’t wait to see how good they do. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it!
