They're there Well some moron did put bluebacks in Nantahala. Heard from Amanda at NCWRC ,she confirmed they are present in the lake. Wonder how many other Koke fisheries have had this happen and how it worked out. I have high hopes since our kokes have held on for over 50 years.

Nantahala Nailers Got my test spoonsthumbsupthumbsupthumbsupthumbsupthumbsup!!

I'm looking forward to trying mine!!!

Card time Kokanee -Toni ,How many hours of video can you get on a 32gb card. Also how long a leader do you use? I ran my camera last weekend and saw lots of rainbows. The greenish water and leader set back made it hard to see some of them clearly.

Shad/herring/bluebacks????? Hey Ron ,I dearly hope some idiot hasn't put them in the lake.My friend Terry fishes Nanatahala a lot and goes for a week in the fall,he told me they saw shad in the lake and heard the state put them in. I dropped some fishheads off to Amanda and asked her about...

Very nice spinners SuperD. Great colors. Did you paint the blades or buy them?

The family got me a Water Wolf for Christmas. It ties inline and works down to 300 ', I'm planning on using a 15-20 mainline and 6 or 8 pound leader so it doesn't get away. I played with it some today casting bait ,pretty interesting how many fish cruised by,didn't hit ,and didn't get hooked...

Any fire problems?? Hey Ron ,Were any of the fires near your house? I'm working in Andrews in two weeks .It will be interesting to see the Gorge. Take care ,hope you're doing well.

Troll cam I'm getting a Wolf inline camera for Christmas. I've seen them on Angler West,looks easy to set up. The show might get old but will be interesting seeing what's going on down there. Think they run around $120,believe I'll use a stout mainline. TM

I think the 13"-16" fish were the 4 year olds .We caught 7 kokes Aug 20 that were going to spawn this year.Males and females well on their way with large egg skeins and developed nads. The heat and sparse rainfall the last few summers have been rough on our coldwater fisheries. I don't know...

Crappie Tubes I've done well with tubes for both kokes and trout. Like you said they come in lots of colors. I rig them just like you would a hoochie.On a short leader they look awesome,and I'm not sure you can tell they don't have eyes. My Daughter -In-Law held the North Carolina state record...

Hey Ron , Are you still in the mountains or back in Florida? Hope your place was spared any damage. I'm hoping to hit a lake again toward the end of this month,probably Cedar Cliff or hopefully Apalachia. Take Care Mark

I would like to try the lake in different seasons ,but I'm about two hours away . If I can get in a few trips, I usually hit a trout lake in Jackson Co. Harpoon used to hit Nantahala in April and had some productive trips. If only there was time(and money) to fish as much as I wanted to. I...

Nice rainbows Cheoah looks to be fishing well. The brown you got on your last trip was pretty sweet.It had to be a wild fish,the state hasn't stocked browns in several years now. Stinks some moron burned the dock, that whole landing is only a couple of years old. I may try some stream near home...

Cleared some messages. Hey Ron, I deleted some messages sorry. Let me know if you get back out.You would like Cedar Cliff ,it's about 20 minutes the other side of Sylva from you. Nice landing and around 140 acres,hardly any boat traffic.

Nice!! Wow ,I am happy to hear you are in remission!!!! Great trip to Cheoah ,I still have to get there and try out the new ramp. What area of the lake were you fishing? We have done well at Cheoah around the high bridge down to 20 Mile Creek. The powerhouse in the bend is good as is the flat...

Saturday Trip!!! Hey Ron ,For sure I'll get the heads you have,hope to contribute a few myself. I've got a couple of different things I want to try ,so maybe I'll get onto something. Have you been marking many fish lately? I'll try to narrow down what time we'll be out there.

Saturday Trip!!! If all goes well we're headed to Nantahala on Saturday. Anxious to hit it at least once the season. Now if only the kokes will cooperate.thumbsup

If you have a tiller steer you can back troll which slows you way down,doesn't work very well with a steering wheel setup.

Good news Hey Ron, That's good to hear ,just makes wish I was fishing. A couple of the previous summers when it got so hot the fishing fell off,it may be we figure out what is happening in the brutal late summer heat. I've marked fish way deep before I figured were kokes ,but they weren't...
