The fish was 12-13" and lean. We caught it at 65' down.
We caught 1 salmon, 2 rainbow, 1 walleye and one smallmouth in 3 hours. One trout was about 5 pounds. His tackle and techniques works.

I hope you get better soon. See you on the lake. Fred
Dr. OC, Ron & Mark,
The salmon have been there a long time. I worried when I did not see them spawn, worried about the lake level and about the fishing pressure. The salmon are still there. Powell...

I met Dr. OC at the marina. The next day I saw him on the lake. I had a nice steelhead in the box when we he pulled up for a sport report. About 15 minutes later we caught a nice male salmon then a...
Ron, keep at it. I got 2 kokes, a really nice steelhead and a walleye. The young man fishing with me wanted to release the fish which was good. I did manage to talk him in to letting me keep the...
The salmon are still biting but has slowed down. Should pick back up on the new moon.
Needin a walleye. Best week on Nantahala ever. Lots of big kokes. I think they grew in a week. Scattered all over the lake. I think this is the big spawning year.
I got started late this year but just in time for the salmon. Went on my maiden voyage on Sunday. Hooked four caught three and kept two. Yesterday was my first charter. Got an early start at 6:30 and...
You got your grove on!
Yo daddy oh, Man is that good news. Now I can sleep!. Hope to be there the 1st of July.
Thanks.
Good afternoon men,
Nice looking trout from Calderwood. We did well on the brook trout there. Spoke to a man that caught a 7 pound laker. Ron, keep hunting for those kokes. Hope to see ya'll soon....
Still have not fished the lake. Did have some excellent trout fishing in the river. Big fish and lot of them. Not as good as last year but still pretty stellar.
