When the water is high...slow down

Flood waters can be dangerous, but productive if you hit them at the right time. The first order of business when fishing more extreme conditions like this is one of safety. Water is powerful and it deserves your respect...be careful.I recently went trout fishing on a small mountain stream after several days of heavy rain. The stream was up to say the least. It must have been 2 feet higher than normal...which isn't uncommon to see in the NC mountains. Fortunately the only runoff hitting the steam was through the forest, the water clarity wasn't clear, but it was far from muddy.

Trout Fishing Top 5 Tips While on The Stream

1. To test the sharpness of your hook, gently place the point of the hook against your thumb’s fingernail. Then, gently scrape it down the length of your fingernail. Do not put additional pressure beyond what is required to keep the point in contact with your fingernail. If the point leaves a mark, it is sharp enough. Otherwise, replace or sharpen it.
