Location, Location, Location #1 Stone Mountain

One of my favorite places to fish in North Carolina has to be stone mountain. Stone Mountain is located just west of Pilot Mountain. With its towering stone dome and plentiful fishing environment it is the perfect place to take a weekend trip to. Stone Mountain has both a delayed harvest and stocked stream. The stocked stream starts at the bottom of Stone Mountain park just by the entrance. From there on up it is almost all delayed harvest there is another section near the top of the park that is stocked. When I say stocked stream I really do mean STOCKED. Theses water both delayed harvest and stocked are filled to the brim with rainbow and brown trout. If you’ve read my earlier post  about casting you might have seen that i said there was no need for any fancy casts due to the lack of room on the streams. Stone mountain is one of the few exceptions. This stream is wide enough at some points to execute a switch-T cast. So, feel free to open up and have fun with your casting...

Just how good are Orvis rods???

Ovris is an American based fly fishing and hunting company that provides consumers with high end products that will last a lifetime. One of their best rod combos is the Helios 2. This rod comes in all weights and length. If I have to be honest the Helios two is simply unbreakable. I have personally seen fisherman take on a carp with the 2 weight without breaking a sweat. Orvis certainly took to time to test this rod and stretch it to its full potential. Although I might be a bit bias when it comes to the best rod brand, I can certify that Orvis is one of the best. When you buy an Orvis rod your not just paying for the name, or the classy lifestyle, but your paying for a high quality product that you know will never randomly break. That coupled with the 25 year warranty that comes with your rod makes it the perfect rod for any situation.
