Headed up to Ashe Co on Tuesday since it was going to be above 50* which usually means a good bite. Got there at 11:00 to find the stream clear but at flood stage. Evidently the stream froze 10-14" in places during the cold snap. Lady at the store said 17 days 27* or lower. So there was ALOT of ice on the banks Ended up catching 5, lost several others (DH stream). Pics: Fishing 1-10 001.jpg

Shhhhhh. yeah it is. Not too bad but I didnt start until 11am and it was 45* by then.

I used to live in Hickory so I just added an extra hour each way to my drive. But I shortened my drive to Hatteras by an hour:beer:
 
I love me some trout fishing, but with ice on the ground...thats hard core.
 
Not sure of that particular water... just make sure you don't get caught with a treble hook if all artificial lures aren't allowed.
