Pisgah (Davidson River Area)

Some pictures from last weekend. I've been wanting to get the kids up
to the Fish Hatchery at the Davidson for awhile. The weather wasn't very good, but we
decided to bundle up, and make a go of it. The weather didn't bother the kids a bit.
Lauren and Carson were able to feed the fish. There is also a nature center that runs a movie in 30 minute loops about the area. I thought it was very well done, and the complex is first class.
I gladly pay the $50 for an out of state license in North Carolina every year. It's easy to forget there are things like this that License fees pay for not just raising the trout. If you truly treasure the resource (Education) especially of kids will do more than just throwing more trout in the streams. The Davidson is considered by many to be one of the top 100 trout streams in the country. It is definately the most heavily fished river that I spend any time on. I actually don't mind the crowds. The fish in the river are as smart as anywhere. If you learn to catch them it just makes you a better fisherman on other rivers. You can get some solitude with a short hike away from the parking areas. It's definately a midge river, but you can get some good fish on streamers at times as well.
