firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted July 31, 2020 We walked up the stream from the end of the road in Greer. 12-13"ers right near the parking spot being caught like nobody's business. Another 1/4 mile up, and not another fish seen. Thought that was strange. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah there was lots of people at the bridge sunday but nobody from 100 yards above the bridge. I’m likely never gonna fish anywhere up there at all I was just wondering if there’s any fish it’s a nice looking creek. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trphyhntr Report post Posted August 7, 2020 I went to west fork black river Sunday morning, off the road to reservation lake and walked south. I caught a couple browns then the weather got bad. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jlreff Report post Posted August 11, 2020 Everyone is mentioning spots my dad and I have fished since the sixties. With all this social media mentioning the white mountains in particular spots not normally talked about there’s more pressure. When they re paved 273 they screwed up the big beaver dam at sheep’s crossing. Then poisoned it to reintroduce Apache trout. Which I found out this year the just started restocking since 2015. Due to disease in the brood stock. I had more people in places I go then I have in the last fifteen years. That’s including places that are a tow to three mile hike. Best thing is to go up during the middle of the week and hike in. But due to COVID-19 that didn’t even work this year. It was a zoo middle of April and still is up there. As a result I’ve moved my operations elsewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
