Greg, You are right about our foothills rivers and creeks water levels being low. I've been fishing western NC, VA, Eastern TN and Southern WV. Until I saw your post I had forgotten about what used to be a great trout fiashing area; "South Mtn State Park". With out giving away any of your secrets could you tell me if you have fished there lately and are there still viable trout producing waters there?
That would make my weekends a lot easier. Now I am driving from three to six hours for 10 or 12 hours on the water but I could be in the South Mtn. area in about 90 minutes.
