Appalachian Trout

 

I love to trout fish, for me its very often just "fishing" rather than "catching". There are so many beautiful places there to fish. The fish are considerably smaller than out west or Alaska but it is far more accessible for me, just 12 hours from Florida. I prefer to fly fish but I will throw beetle-spin if necessary. I have a lot to learn about these species.
 

Rainbow


This huge 21" Rainbow took a beetlespin during very high and turbid river conditions on the Upper Nantahala 5/04

3 nice Rainbows taken from the upper Nantahala River. The top one is 13", considered large for the area. They took a yellow mayfly
