A friend and I just fished 2 days on the Roanoke River in North Carolina, And its heating up.
Saturday evening there were “spawns” everywhere around us and some actually ended up bumping the boat. I managed one fish on a 2/0 Bobs banger on top and my friend had a couple hits on a crease fly at 6am sunday but mostly it was an 8wt and a 300-400 gr fast sink line and a clouser on light wire hooks. Sunday was a 30 fish day for us but some of the regulars on the river had upwards of double that—fish were 16-22".
