With spring in full swing, the trout have been willing to eat pretty much whatever nymph comes their way. Water levels have been consistent all spring and with more rain on the way, trout fishing in Western North Carolina should be better than years past. Numerous reports of caddis, quills, ants, and the occassional grasshopper have trout all across the area in a frenzy. These pictures from the Davidson River are just proof of whats to come over the next few weeks.

First time fly angler Jeremy Parden fished the Davidson River on saturday with guide Bill Strickland and learns first hand how special the Davidson can be.

Jay Coan lands this brute of a redfish off the South Carolina coast last week showing off his skills on the flyrod.  Luckily he picked up some great flies at DRO.  Make sure you stock up for your next saltwater trip at DRO. We now carry an extensive assortment of saltwater lines, leaders, flies, and apparel.
