Impressive waterfall but are there trout above it and fish tacos for dinner!

[@johnfahey7215]

Awesome! is right. Thanks

[@LooknFishy]

Was a killer time!

[@jimpyle560]

Enjoyed the truck video a few days ago and the hike to that waterfall was worth it. Nature is awesome.

[@LooknFishy]

Thank u kindly. Yt tells me my audience isn't interested that truck video but I knew some were.

[@troutmancraig]

I recognized the spot immediately. Been there more than 100 times and maybe 15 trout. There is a private section about a mile downstream that is pretty nice. And I knew when I saw the AMB as the local brew. Keep the good work up!

[@Pwrcritter]

Very nice. This will be me next week in Wv..

[@LooknFishy]

Sounds like a good time!

[@sirwinston2368]

7-1/2' 3-weight with a Battenkill II. I know that rig! (except I have a Redington). Bow and arrow cast. I know that too. Little brookies? Story of my life! If I had a dollar for every sub-legal brookie. 😎Thanks Drew. Good vid.

[@dirtspudoutdoors]

His channel made me buy a similar setup, lol.

[@LooknFishy]

I dig that set-up. But I can see where those that do this more often opt for a 6ft ish rod...more on that in a later video!

[@rubenkayaks2469]

How can you not like this dude?! Videos are amazing and the streams he shows and how much information he give out. Keep killing it drew!

[@LooknFishy]

Thank u much!

[@gerbenheijdt2048]

Looks great, nice country side.

[@LooknFishy]

Such a cool area!

[@sammysnead9670]

Another Awesome video! Thanks!

[@LooknFishy]

Thank u!

[@lenzflyfishing]

Wow, really going all out with cooking. Looks great and the owl was cool too!

[@LooknFishy]

Haha...gotta eat well when you're gone for weeks at a time! The owl was pretty cool!

[@hunters1372]

Funny I live in the western half of NC and I’m watching you stomp around my home parts while I’m on the outer banks instead!

[@LooknFishy]

Haha, NC is awesome!

[@jimgollach6202]

I would say the coolest part of your day was spotting the owl. That's what I call the little extras you get exploring my mountain world. For me, it never gets old. Thanks for sharing. Tight lines. 👍

[@LooknFishy]

The owl was really cool. I heard them everr night at dusk but never saw one until then. Cool creatures!

[@guiart4728]

North Carolina looks great! Thanks for showing us all the great country available to experience!

[@LooknFishy]

Been a great time exploring the area!

[@soundbwoikilla764]

Probably brookies tucked up in those little plunge pools on the waterfall, definitely in your typical Blue Rideg waterfall.

[@LooknFishy]

Probably and laughing at me lol!

[@cartajulian1]

I'm from VA near Shenandoah National Park and GW National Forests. Went down to this part of NC and was blown away by the quality of the fishing. Have to say, as far as native appalachian brookies go, it's hard to beat Central/Western VA in the mid-Atlantic, but the diversity of the streams and the size of the fish in NC are both fantastic. It's also absolutely beautiful and very accessible. Can't wait to go back.

[@LooknFishy]

Studying up on that area. Looks pretty amazing!

[@cartajulian1]

@@LooknFishy let me know if you want any recommendations. Can send you an email. Def not as many wild browns or bows, because the park has protected the brook trout population very well. Enjoy your videos

[@LooknFishy]

Would love some help. My email is, [e-mail]

[@MrBluoct]

Nice!

[@LooknFishy]

Good times for sure!

[@NCflyfishingguides]

Nice Hiking! Ive found out the hard way as well, that there is a lot of both very productive and very non productive blue lines in North Carolina.

[@LooknFishy]

So much water to explore. Can't imagine what it must have been like 100yrs ago!

[@haroldwatson5592]

Thanks for another awesome video Keep them coming I do enjoy watching.

[@LooknFishy]

Will do!

[@larryhudgins6988]

Very inspiring to say the least. Great video sir.

[@LooknFishy]

Thank you!

[@martymoose1719]

Welcome to NC, love the channel, been trying to catch up on your videos. Thanks for sharing what is available outside. It’s like church and a counseling session all in one. Fly fishing has changed me also. Super cool dude.

[@LooknFishy]

Awesome...got weeks worth of entertainment scheduled from this trip!

[@3422dave]

Man I love this channel you need to try Bald River Falls in Tellico Plains Tn a lot of great fishing in those mnts to

[@templesong]

Really enjoy your videos. My son and I will be plying the waters of No. Carolina the fourth week of this month. Any suggestions would be great, planning to disperse camp.

[@LooknFishy]

Check the applicable national forest for dispersed camping areas!

[@MrStuk2112]

“Then I have my spot”. ??? Is it a location gps tool?

[@kmarshall100]

Love your videos. Would you mind sharing where in NC you’re fishing? Would love to check out that area and I’m sure the waterfall would be a hit with my wife ;). Peace from Charlotte, NC

[@briljantje9583]

It is about time you show us your fishing adventures, Drew. Leave the cooking to the ladies 👩👩

[@michaelhilinski7889]

A trib with a set of falls like that can be hit or miss. You'll either find a unique population of brook trout or very few (if any) above them. Its just a natural barrier for them. Have you considered using furled leaders for streams that size? They last a very long time, don't knot up very easily, and generally are shorter in length for those tight quarters

[@LooknFishy]

Yea, the natural barrier was why I went hoping to keep the wild bows out. Same for cutts out west. I have not but will look into them!

[@mikerawls9619]

Carolina on my mind.

[@LooknFishy]

Should be!

[@MrMinkey11]

You should be having fish tacos.

[@LooknFishy]

Definitely!

[@kmarshall100]

Also, what brand of fly rod roof rack do you have? Do you recommend it? Thanks!

[@bobwilkinson461]

Hi Drew, I’m old to fly fishing but because of my stubborn ways, I’m new to dry dropper fishing. In my attempts I’ve tied some #10 parachute Adams and adding a #18 brass bead hares ear. Using a 7.5’ 4x leader, on a 7.5’ for 4wt fast action rod, I’m getting lots of lag in my presentation of the rig. For this size D/D rig, what size leader do you use? And any other advice would be appreciated. :)

[@LooknFishy]

Lately I've been fishing 7.5ft 3x tapered leader with a foot of 4x to my dry. If you're on Instagram I just shared a video of me explaining my rig which will also be in a future video...but scheduled to share in June.

[@bobwilkinson461]

@@LooknFishy Thanks for the info. Tight lines! :)

[@williamwojcieszek4320]

That’s too healthy, my body’s immune system would reject it.

[@LooknFishy]

Haha, I figured the sour cream and beer would balance out the healthy side!

[@blue_ridge_on_the_fly4174]

That stream is productive for brookies, you have to remember that the wild trout here in NC are not like the ones out west. They are easily spooked so try to stay out of the water as much as possible and stay close to cover. Sudden movements will spook them too. But 2in or 20in wild trout to the hand is always to get excited about. More than half of the people I come across don’t even catch a fish. NC has some great streams that will put any experience to the test. Especially in the Smoky Mountains!!!

[@LooknFishy]

Cool! I'm guessing you're gonna like the next part!

[@blue_ridge_on_the_fly4174]

Been fly fishing NC Mtns for almost 40yrs. Every part I see about fly fishing NC I’m going to like. Especially if it’s the Smoky Mtns. By far my favorite place in the world.
