Upper Nantahala Fly Fishing




 
A real treat to fish the upper Nantahala.
First and last cast of the day caught brook trout!
My guide for the afternoon was great.
Can't wait for next year!



Cherokee NC

Rainbow, Golden, Brown and Brook Trout!
The Cherokee Grand Slam.

Caught nothing but enjoyed being on the water that afternoon!

It was fun to take Rose to the Nantahala.
Enjoyed a few meals at River's End.

Paddy is a seasoned camper!

We enjoyed early evening campfires.
Only rained one night!

Halloween at West Branch



 
If you camp and have kids then the middle of October is the best time
to visit West Branch State Park!
 
The above pictures were just from one camp site. 
They take all week to get ready for Halloween.
 
The park fills up and campers decorate their individual sites. 
The park employees decorate too!
