Winter Storm this weekend...

I hate to be the bearer of the bad news (if you're not a snow lover), but it looks like western NC is a fixin' to be slammed by a big winter storm Friday night/Saturday. This will unfortunately add to the high water...

Man! We can't catch a break this year on the wet weather. Every time I plan on escaping to the water I get shut down. Oh well... I guess it will mean more water come summer. At least I am off this weekend and will be at home with a beer and TV instead of freezing my keester on the street.

It's gonna disrupt the fishing, but like you said, it's really going to help come summer. Maybe we won't see a drought this summer.

Folks I live right in the middle of WNC. We could use some days to dry out. The streams are full or a lot are flood. Missed a lot of school days. My summer fishing is probably gonna be pond and closer streams. Good I live near a lot of water. Afternoon and night trips are ahead I fear

We've had WAY to much rain in NC. It started back in... what?.. November? It seems like a big storm system rolls through once a week, with smaller disturbances hitting the mountains once or twice a week. February into early March is just going to be colder and possibly snowier, so winter's not over yet...

As long as it's over by April! I am sooo looking forward to my week in Cherokee.

I feel your pain. Over the hill we've had so much rain that if you sweat in the water it'll blow out. Hopefully with all this cold and wet we'll see some hella nice hatches this Spring!

Bring on the Green Drakes, Light Cahills, and Yellow Sallies!!!

Hi Jim!!
Was wondering does the town of Townsend still exist? Those pics you showed me of the little river was crazy! You guys have been pounded bad.

Like you guys, I am also ready for this to hold off for a while.

Don't forget the sulfurs

Ahhh...The sulfurs...They're definately worth mentioning.

Are you ready for some more snow?!?!

Nope. We'll have students all summer at this rate. Dec. and Jan, have been my slowest fishing in a very long time.

...And we just reached the halfway mark for Winter. We still have February and March...

LOL John
Yeah, I think it's still there! Those pics were from the Little Pigeon, though, near my home in Pittman Center. I bet the Little River was even bigger! Little, Little, but both BIG.
