5/13/11 Update

Progress!  The Wildlife folks have made an impact.  Folks stopping in are reporting they are frequently checked and even the bait fishermen are regulation-minded.

Hatchery waters were stocked this morning and it took about 1 hour for our bait sales to spike.  Got to be a leak somewhere!

Tippet is missing seeing you, as to Heather, the kids and I!

Trout moving to the head of the pools, I guess in search of cooler water and food.   I have been hammering them every evening with the soft hackle and Yellow Humpy.  26" brought to hand on Wednesday.

River clean-up went well.  Looking good.  Fish active.  Stocking this week.  Go fishing!  Delayed Harvest waters open in June!!!!

Please, if you get this blog, visit www.wrccomments@ncwildlife.org and propose that "all waters, including tributaries, above Phillips Branch at Wilson Creek, be designated Catch and Release, Artificial Fly Only".

Nice hatch of Mays!
