When the water is high...slow down

Tue, 04/28/2009 - 20:26 -- dfarnsworth

Flood waters can be dangerous, but productive if you hit them at the right time. The first order of business when fishing more extreme conditions like this is one of safety. Water is powerful and it deserves your respect...be careful.I recently went trout fishing on a small mountain stream after several days of heavy rain. The stream was up to say the least. It must have been 2 feet higher than normal...which isn't uncommon to see in the NC mountains. Fortunately the only runoff hitting the steam was through the forest, the water clarity wasn't clear, but it was far from muddy.
