Thanks to Watershed Cabins and Nantahala Outdoor Center

Well, despite a sunday of extreme showers and rising water levels of increasingly turbid stream water, we scored well on rainbow trout with guide Cory Sutton of Nantahala Outdoor Center (NOC). We fly fished exclusively using fly tackle with nymphs and strike indicators.

Two special excitements were a huge brown trout bashing Corrie's hookless strike indicator ball float as well as my losing a trophy rainbow as it blasted my nymph as it dragged downstream after a drift: I was really shocked!

Last night we dined at Relia's Garden on the NOC property. I ordered the tomato dill soup and the pork chops which were pan seared with a sage gravy and served with sweet potato and collard with a butter garlic sauce. I hasten to add that some local microbrewery operations are turning out some good beers and ales, an ideal refreshment after a day of stream fishing.

The full story of this western North Carolina adventure will be appearing in a future article in CyberAngler- http://www.cyberangler.com/
