Incredible day on local smallmouth river. 8 miles of beautiful river twisting and turning through the mountains of western NC. Saw one fisherman and 3-4 people enjoying the river.

As usual all these smallies plus many more were caught on top water poppers. We were throwing 9’ 6wt rods fishing 8 # tippet. Size 4 chartreuse, white and black poppers. These fish did not want movement, long drag free drifts and BAM!!!!

Get on our calendar soon for your shot at these incredible fish!!
