"With so many good comments at the Annual Meeting, fishing the Watauga River popped into my head as a great idea. After all, I thought, the stream committee has taken a lot of time to clean and rebuild several trout hiding areas: they've stocked the stream at least twice since last year's floods; and it looks wide enough that I won't lose all my flies! So off I went. Having suited up my waders and with rod & reel in hand, I trudged about mile downstream along the mighty Watauga. Ample rains had the Watauga up nicely. The stream was brisk yet the water was perfectly clear."
 "I stealthfully waded in under an old maple and carefully prepared for the challenge. Having spent $30 and a half hour at Appalachian Angler clearly assured my upcoming victory. One cast upstream ? nothing. A second cast ? nothing again. A third cast ? Eureka! A nice 10 rainbow was my prize. Great start! The day turned out to be nothing but spectacular. And after enjoying the magnificent Browns, Brooks, and Rainbows of the Boone fork, something new happened-- a Bass! Then a Brown, then a Sunfish, then a Rainbow, then a strange-looking Trout/Sucker?, then another Rainbow. Wow!"
 "My Sunday morning on beat #6 is now my best day of fishing at Twin Rivers. The final count? 3 lost flies, one dunked camera, and 20 fish! A long and hardy thank you to the stream committee! Signed, the Fearless Angler"  |
