We have rented a cabin in that area. Tracy wants to take fly fishing lessons. Any recommendations for who to go with or any member want to give us some pointers? We will be there from the 20th to the 24th. What is biting? Our cabin is on Roy Kemp Rd. and sits on the river. Also a fishable creek on the property. I am a lifelong avid saltwater angler, just learning fresh water fishing at Falls Lake. Tracy has been fishing about five years now, mostly salt water and generally prefers to fish from a boat. We have fishing kayaks so I am thinking a paddle/fishing trip in the area might be nice. Any hints for stretches of river to check out? Not so much for fly fishing as for general fishing. I assume light spinning tackle, 6 lb test etc. Any suggestions for lures? Special permits needed?

We would also appreciate hints for nice places to paddle. We plan to do a trip with Zaloos as West Jeff but would like to know other spots.

Thanks!
