Musky Fishing
Musky fishing has become one of the more popular pursuits among local fly anglers in recent years. Known as the fish of 10,000 casts, these long, fickle fish can be elusive to the point of insanity. The French Broad River is home to a good population of these toothy critters, and DRO's guide staff loves to chase them. Musky trips aren't for the faint of heart. Anglers taking part in a Musky float should be okay with losing. Zero fish to the boat is common place. Will you see them? Probably, if conditions are right. Will you catch them? That's between you and the Musky. Anglers should possess the ability to cast a 10-12 weight fly rod with sinking line and an 8"-12" fly for a big part of a day. For those who don't fly fish, we also offer conventional tackle trips that open to anglers of all skill levels.

Stream Report
Just after the first snow of the year, the fish are slow and the temps are cold. If you plan to fish this time of year, sleep in and make a cup of coffee before heading to the river. Around 10:00 the water and the air will warm up and the fish will start feeding for the day. The fish will feed until 3:00 or 4:00 in the afternoon until the sun goes behind the trees and the air temps start to drop again. Make sure you wear layers so you can add and subtract clothes throughout the day. As always when fishing during the winter, make sure that you have a plan of where you are going and tell others where you expect to be and what time you expect to be off the water, in case something happens while you are fishing.
