Kevin, thanks for sharing this post about fishing with Mom. Brought back a few memories that I have about fishing with my mom...................................
I haven't fished any tailwaters in NC. Some brookies do overwinter but they are mainly small ones. 12inches or smaller. All of the fish we caught on this day were stockers. Unfortunately a lot of the habitat is getting destroyed by sedimentation from development. People are clearing forests and trees that filter out the sediment before it hits the stream. This river had more than I have seen in the last 3yrs. Some deep pools were now just a foot deep.
That's awesome you and your mom fish together!
ReplyDeleteI am pretty lucky.

I'm glad Mel, thanks for checking in.
DeleteHooray for mom! Kevin I think this is too cool for words.
ReplyDeleteThanks Howard. I was going to do a longer post but I figured the pictures said enough.
DeleteThat is so super awesome!!! I wish I could say that I went fishing with my mom.
ReplyDeleteWas wondering if you fished a tail water and if any brookies overwinter there. Nice to fish with a mom, in any case.

DeleteNice pictures. I fished a NC DH Friday, breaking my trout skunk! I'm really falling in love with coldwater fishing.
ReplyDeleteKevin, quit trying to kid us. That's not your mom -- got to be your sister!
