I went to Todd, NC to fish South Fork New River and some tributaries.

I headed over to Dupont State Forest to find Reasonover Creek.

All of the creeks we fished on Wednesday, August 7 would be considered "blue lines".

I caught trout on flies in Fowler Creek and Nicholson Licklog Creek, bringing my total for NC streams to 945.

I caught fish in four new creeks that I had seen or driven by many times in the past.

This Bear Creek (there are a few in Graham County) is a tributary of Little Snowbird Creek.
