- Final day of my Fall 2023 fly fishing, camping and exploring new water in the mountains of North Carolina. This trip got very interesting as my campsite was invaded by a black bear who would not leave. This pesky bear caused me to change my sleeping arrangements on the final night. #flyfishing #northcarolina #brooktrout #pisgahnationalforest #blackbear #blackbears
Really enjoyed the video. Watching brought me back to some of my recent solo fly fishing/camping experiences. Loved seeing the fall scenery! Thanks for sharing.
So happy you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching. I’m out on a new adventure this weekend.
What a beautiful spot(s). Loving the pocket water.
Thanks Mike for watching. These 2 small creeks are calling your name, Rick , and mine for that April trip. The plan is coming soon.
Nice video. I've watched a couple so far. I plan to get up in the smokies this coming spring and summer to do some hiking/camping and hitting some new water outside of GA. I want to do more camping and fishing videos myself. Two things I noticed. 1) looks like you have a lot of slack line on your drifts. 2) you seem to set the hook upstream. If you take out the slack and set downstream you will increase your hook ups. I have yet to see any bear while camping in GA even though I know they're there. But I feel like camping in the smokies I will have an increased chance. Anyway, good content. I am about to click that subscribe button. Tight Lines.
I love the tip on the hookup. I did a day trip with a guide 5 years ago requesting remote backcountry streams to an area I was not familiar with in NC. I also was hoping to learn something. After a couple of hours he gave me a similar tip. It is such a bad habit I have. Every time I miss a hook up I think about the day on the water with him. Now I will think about your tip as well. Great observation.
On this trip I was not in the smokies but I can’t tell you the bears are in the smokies. I have not seen them in smokies but one trip I did there the bear scat was so abundant on one creek I began to get paranoid and was looking over both shoulders all day. Thank you for watching and happy you enjoyed. Tight lines
good narrative. thanks for sharing. I hope you don't mind my asking, but was that the Black Mtn campground where you saw the bear? I've seen them there before.
I am in southwest NC so about 1.5 hours from black mountain campground. Thank you for watching and happy you enjoyed the video. Out on another adventure tonight.
The black bears are why I won’t go with you unless we stay in a cabin 😊
I’ll protect you
I hear of several bear encounters at Cherry Hill Campground in SC.
When people are careless around the campgrounds spilling food everywhere and leaving trash the bears can’t resist the snacks at night or during the day when everyone leaves. It is beginning to ruin that campground. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers
