We started the year off right again this New Year's by going fishing on the Upper Linville River in North Carolina above the Linville Falls, up to the campground. It was a beautiful day to be in the woods, with 6 inches of residual snow. The fishing started out hot, with Dan catching three trout right away. A little later in the morning, he landed a 24" long Rainbow Trout that probably pushed 3 lbs. Later in the afternoon, the fishing slowed considerably.
