biker_bill , if y'all are planning a trip to Dick's 4/15/17, count me in. I caught my first fish on Dick's about 1955. We all knew Charlie Turner and Sparks, the cigar salesman, real well. I wish I had a dime for every Ne-Hi grape soda I gave to Herman.
Anyway, let me know they PM or here if y'all plan a trip.

The best thing to spend time on is your kids
musket - When we have out trout fishing M&G it's usually at Rock Creek. Hiking the Hills will post a thread about a month before we go. If you don't know where that is, we can get you there. Hwy 60 through Sucches on your way to Morganton. There's a sign for the fish hatchery on your left, if you follow that road up the mountain (pretty fair road, 4wd not req'd) that's where we'll be. There's a campground, very small, no utilities on the right. I think it's called Frank Gross, I put my pop up there and pay for a site. Most just find a spot in the woods.
I know it well, or I should say I KNEW it well. It's been a while. I have an 22" brown on my wall that was caught on the section of creek behind the little white church. My dad caught the brown, I pulled a 19" rainbow out of the same hole that day.
I never got to fish Deep Hole, but, I'd like to.
Back in the 1960s they were blasting to put in the "new" hatchery tanks and it scared several really big ones downstream. These fish hung out under the bridge at the hatchery where no fishing was allowed and everyone would feed these fish. My dad and I were there about that time and the guy caught the state record brown plus two more almost as big. Back then they had a Check Station and we were standing there when he rolled up. He was shaking like a leaf. My dad said if he had $50 on him, he'd pay the guy to tell us where he was fishing. The guy assured us he had fished out the hole. The ranger took the fish to their certified scales, at the hatchery office, because he thought the big one might be a record. I think that record still stands. EDIT*. I checked, it's been broken at least twice. 2011 and 2014 on the 'Hooch.
