Opening Day Trout Saturday


House

Recommended Posts

Cherokee is nice this time of year. They know how to stock a river right up there too. Davidson, Rocky Broad, Green River, and Horse Pature Rivers have all been really poor on opening day the last few years.

those are all classic kayaking rivers! ahah...

I want to take a stab at throwing some spinning lures for trout. ive got the license and gear, but ive never even tried. Only trout fishing ive ever done was in Idaho on the Snake.

If you ever make it up to the mountians, give me a shout. I'll take you out and show you how its done. Everyone preaches about the "sanctity of fly fishing", but there is nothing funner than having a trout hit a spinner.

That is were we are going to be. I would rather go somewere else but one of the guys we are going with has no waders. So, being the nice guy that I am, instead of leaving him behind we are going to Chimney Rock.

I am hoping that the down economy and the shitty fishing the last few years will discourage some from making the trip. I doubt it though.

I'm hoping for better fishing and less crowd, too. Maybe we'll see you up there.

I will probably be the guy stabbing the dude with the 9 ft. catfish rod hooked up with a double aught hook and a bobber bigger than my head.

Really though, I am hoping that because it is Easter weekend some people will stay away. If you see a charcoal gray dodge truck parked on the side of the road, that is me. Just yell "Erik", always happy to hold court with a fellow angler and a Panther fan to boot.

    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
