{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Asheville Ideas

Definitely give the davidson a try.  There are some very large browns below the hatchery that like to eat the food from the effluent.  Kind of cheating but as long as you don't mind, you have a shot at a big fish.  Very small midge pupa can be effective.   Overall, I always found the davidson to be a better nymph river than a dry.

 

I would also look into the tribs (avery, lookingglass ect).  The fish will probably be smaller but they are a bit easier. 

 

I don't know if it is still open, but there is a good flyshop on the davidson. 

 

Honestly though, if you don't mind driving a bit the best fishing in that area is in smoky mountain national park.

Good afternoon folks, 

I'm looking for any suggestions for streams/rivers around Asheville, NC. I plan to give the Davidson a go at least one day, though I know I'll have to be on my A-game to have a chance at landing something. 

Does anyone have any comments about fishing in the area, or suggestions for streams to try out? I'm pretty well experienced on the small Shenandoah streams, so I think Ill be able to handle most of the water there. I've been looking at the reports from local fly shops, and most of the water seems kind of high right now, but producing pretty well. I'm happy to hear any past experiences, and fly suggestions too. I've done plenty of research, but like asking our local group because something always comes up that I hadnt thought about or read on my own!

Hoping to just not get skunked, and to enjoy the scenery of Pisgah in the fall!

Thank you!

Forrest
