Dennis1022 Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 I live in Rockingham County, N.C. is there any members live in this area. Also know any smallies fishing besides New River, French Broad. What about Yadkin River,Mayo River, Dan River & Smith's River. Also want to know are they bank fishing or boat fishing. One thing no rapids for boats, I don't canoe or kayak anymore. So any lures suggestions would be great. Thanks Dennis Quote
drmnbig Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 I come down there and fish a couple times each year. We've got family in Browns Summit so we usually hit the local lakes and ponds. I don't know anything about the rivers and I haven't caught any smallies down that way. Quote
daviscw Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 I live on the Yadkin River. I've caught smallies, but I've caught way more largemouth. That may just be because I target largemouth though... Quote
Redhed Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 all highland lakes have smallies. yadkin has smallies but they are way up river where the colder mtn creeks dump in. i have seen (once in an absolute blue moon) smallies in the Mitchell River (where i fly fish some before it gets cleaned out by the locals-- trout) Quote
dacrawdaddy Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Uwharrie River, Mayo,and Broad River. Pop-r, small spook, 1/8 oz buzzbait, 4"smoke grubs,4"stick worms,Rebel crawfish crankbait, and Strike King bitsy flip jig with a tiny Paca chunk trailer should get you started. Quote

Where are these rivers located? Quote
dacrawdaddy Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Broad River is located south of Forrest City on the NC SC border, Mayo River flows south out of Va west of Martinsville into NC near Hanging Rock SP, and the Uwharrie flows south of Trinity, NC through the Uwharrie NF into Lake Tillery near Morrow Mtn. SP. Quote
VTechHokie Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 I am from Greensboro. I have heard of Smallies in the Uwharrie River. I have never tried it though. Other than that I think there are a few places up in the mountains Quote
Jake. Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 I fished the Uwharrie last June and caught my first two Smallmouth. You have to find the deeper holes in the river or you will only catch Sunfish. Quote
