This is awesome for Boone but you couldn't drag me to Boone tomorrow with an 18 wheeler and a logging chain. I'll be waist deep in either the South Toe or Wilson Creek, haven't decided on which.

I went to Wilson Creek three weeks back and it was still too warm, had to stop fishing by 7:30am. If you go, let me know how it is. Hopefully the water temp has come down in the last few weeks.

They'll be good. It's been getting down in the 50s at night the last 7-10 days. I keep an eye on the Oconaluftee temps. It's the only USGS temp gauge in a naturally flowing stream on WNC that I know of.

Wilson generally runs a a few degrees cooler than the Oconaluftee in the DH section. The gorge gets WARM though. More along the lines of the Oconaluftee. 

The South Toe generally stays fishable upstream of Carolina Hemlocks unless there's significant drought (which there was in August). There was virtually no non-tailwaters trout waters in the greater NC area that were fishable for most of August. If the upper reaches of the South Toe are too warm then pretty much everything else is gonna be too.

Having a winning head to head record against your in-state rivals makes you the best football program on the state.

 

Sadly, only UNC fans agree with you. Enjoy watching game day this morning. They’ll be in Boone in case you didn’t know.

I'm on the South Toe. Just took a break to eat a snack. Yeah, it's good to go.

Catching mainly 10-12" stockers. A couple small wilds. Nothing over about 12" so far but it's been a good morning. Fast, shallow riffles have been producing the most fish.

I stood right here and caught four fish, including the above brown which has probably been the best fish of the morning so far.

      Who is going to take a shot at Malik Willis

      By cranky · Posted

      So Willis had a good game against a poor defense and all of a sudden he is worth 50 million and is guaranteed to be better than Young. LOL I know he looked good in the 3 games he started, and I think he will have success long term, but anyone signing him up for a long term contract for 50 million is taking a huge risk.

      Is he really though? Rivera was past his prime and probably shouldn't have even started 2019 so his firing wasn't really unexpected or unwarranted. Rhule lasted two and a half years which was about one year too long in my opinion. Bringing him back that third year certainly wasn't impulsive and I would say Tepper was more patient than he should have been. Wilks finished out that third season and did pretty good but most everyone could see he really wasn't anything more than an intern HC. Bringing him back was not the long term answer so not bringing him back was the correct call. Hiring Reich was a mistake from the beginning and he recognized that fairly quickly. I am sure he knew he was going to catch a lot of sh*t for firing him so quickly ( and boy did he ) but it was absolutely the right thing to do given everything that was going on. The firing may have looked impulsive, but I think it was him recognizing he had royally f*ck up and just dealt with it instead of letting it fester.  That brings us to Canales. 2025 was only his second season and yet he delivered 8 wins and the NFC South title. And while that might not sound great, given the lack of talent and cap space they started with, it's a strong step in the right direction. I couldn't imagine Tepper not being pleased with their progress given the crap the Panthers' have been though under his ownership.
