This is awesome for Boone but you couldn't drag me to Boone tomorrow with an 18 wheeler and a logging chain. I'll be waist deep in either the South Toe or Wilson Creek, haven't decided on which.

I went to Wilson Creek three weeks back and it was still too warm, had to stop fishing by 7:30am. If you go, let me know how it is. Hopefully the water temp has come down in the last few weeks.

They'll be good. It's been getting down in the 50s at night the last 7-10 days. I keep an eye on the Oconaluftee temps. It's the only USGS temp gauge in a naturally flowing stream on WNC that I know of.

Wilson generally runs a a few degrees cooler than the Oconaluftee in the DH section. The gorge gets WARM though. More along the lines of the Oconaluftee. 

The South Toe generally stays fishable upstream of Carolina Hemlocks unless there's significant drought (which there was in August). There was virtually no non-tailwaters trout waters in the greater NC area that were fishable for most of August. If the upper reaches of the South Toe are too warm then pretty much everything else is gonna be too.

Having a winning head to head record against your in-state rivals makes you the best football program on the state.

 

Sadly, only UNC fans agree with you. Enjoy watching game day this morning. They’ll be in Boone in case you didn’t know.

I'm on the South Toe. Just took a break to eat a snack. Yeah, it's good to go.

Catching mainly 10-12" stockers. A couple small wilds. Nothing over about 12" so far but it's been a good morning. Fast, shallow riffles have been producing the most fish.

I stood right here and caught four fish, including the above brown which has probably been the best fish of the morning so far.

    • Panthers are clearly not worried about cap space so why are we?
    • Other than being the offseason and there isn't much to talk about, why does anyone worry about the cap? We can do whatever we want and still have cap space. You don't think the front office hasn't already figured it out and what they intend to do. Me I am just sitting back and watching. After all my job isn't on the line if we lose. Although at my age we don't have forever if I am going to live to see us play in another superbowl
    • I get the TD's and I pointed it out, but like I said, when Burrow had more than double the TD's than Geno had, I think Higgins increased TDs compared to DK was more a product of Burrow and the Bengals offense than because of him vs DK as WRs. When one of their QB's finished 4th in MVP voting despite missing the playoffs and the other was just traded for a late 3rd round pick and replaced by Sam Darnold, I think that's a tough narrative to brush aside to just look at raw stats as well. Again, swap DK and Higgins last year, do you honestly believe DK wouldn't have put up better stats than Higgins did? Contracts and trade compensation aside, I'm taking DK over Higgins 100 out of 100 times, there is no debate about it for me.
