The "Holes" or fishing spots are all marked.  You can wade up or down but if you have multiple people you can tell them to stay at Montana Beach etc. 

Also,   You can camp here at Shady Meadows and they have a Bathroom(porta jon) , fish cleaning stations, picnic tables and firepits.    This would be a great spot to camp and it is very close to the city of Galax if you need to run and get something. 

Make sure you keep the Gates CLOSED!!!

Several "holes" I did not get Pictures of........

Brown Trout saved the day.

Made a pretty long trip yesterday to catch some Smallies. Upon arriving I was a little disappointed with my spot and headed up stream for better looking water. Good move  as I caught 1 fat little Smallie and 1 nice brown Trout . Only fished 2 hrs as I was run off the water with a massive storm but it sure beat working.
Brown Trout. Fisheaters. Gotta Luv them..........
Threw a spinnerbait and a rapala.  Water Temp 57 degrees.
Here are a few pics............

Stone Mountain trip July 09

I Had shoulder surgery in August of 2009 so I made a lot of trips in late July and early August as I knew I would be out of commission for a while. This is one of those trips. Mainly a hiking and exploring trip but we did fit some trout fishing in. Here are a few pics.

This is atop Stone Mtn. My son with one of his best Friends, Miles.


This is a windswept pine atop Stone Mtn. probably a Table Mtn pine.

This is the top side of Stone Mtn. Falls . Sandy creek is the creeks name. Stone Mtn creek is actually on the other side of the mountain.

And, a view from the bottom.

A nice little water fall on Sandy creek.

We didn't catch a lot of trout today. Probably just 6 or 7 rainbows but is was a very good day to be out on the water. One rock bass caught which was a surprise. All fish caught on rooster tails and blue fox spinners. This is a nice little rainbow that my son caught.

A nice little waterfall on Garden creek.

A great day to be in the woods and on the water. Mack

Brown trout, Smallies and Largemouth!!!!!. Summer 2009

Where in North Carolina or Virginia can you go and catch smallies, largemouth and Browns on the same float.....well this time I am not telling. If you want to go i may take someone one day. I would not have believed it if i wasn't there to see it........smallies(6) hit buzzbaits...the 1 largemouth hit a buzzbait as well.......the bite then stopped. I decided to go more finesse and put on a rapala.....I was then  rewarded with 4 nice browns that were miles and miles from where they should be..Awesome! .. WHAT A GREAT DAY!

Great day on the water. Saw 1 bald eagle searching for lunch.
