The Mitchell river 12/6/20:

[AndyS]

Took the 3 hour drive out to the Mitchell river in Dobson North Carolina. In Pennsylvania we refer to these as "creeks " or "criks" Really pretty area. I guess being a Sunday morning with temps in the 50's drew out the crowds, wand wavers were pounding fly line in just about every hole. Not sure how you can stand in gin clear 12 inch deep water and pound fly line on the water and expect to catch fish ??? I did manage 2 small browns and had lots of follows.
D.H. is a big thing here- Delayed Harvest. I don't keep anything so I really don't keep up on the regulations. There are 7 types of regulations on trout streams here, yes 7 !! Spent the night in Charlotte at a friends house after fishing.
