Have trout fished in Wyoming and Colorado, but nothing is as good as Cherry County Nebraska.

I tried to do some fly tying and got okay at it, but the time and patience required escaped me at the time. Maybe I should bust out my fly tying kit and try again now that I am older and a fraction more patient.
I've become friends with several guys through a Facebook fly fishing group who are from North Carolina. My in-laws now live in Fredericksburg, VA, so I've fished a bunch of places there for smallmouth and trout, but I've yet to make it to NC. My wife's cousin is stationed in Hubert, and we're hoping/planning to visit them this summer. He wants to take me out in kayaks for redfish, and I want to take him to some of the NC trout streams.I don't fly fish down here as much as I did in Colorado, but I still do and still tie my own. We do have some pretty good trout streams an hour or so North of me in the North Carolina mountains. I need to frequent them more often.

I highly recommend it. I never started tying flies until 8 years ago, and I can't help but think how much I would have enjoyed it for decades more if I had started earlier. If you like fishing saltwater, there have been an unbelievable number of new patterns of saltwater flies and a lot of really cool materials to make them. Google videos for "Enrico Puglisi flies" and pick one that looks like something you would want to fish and watch it. I'll bet that it will take less than 2-3 videos, and you'll be wanting to get out your fly tying gear.
I've fished there! It was so overpopulated with fisherman when I went. Didn't catch any browns but some little rainbows. Still fun as hellSounds like the Frying Pan in Colorado. Football size browns, if you can keep them from breaking your tippet.
Fly fishing is a whole other world of fishing

Would love to get back there again or to Cherry County per your recommendation.
Agree a million times
The ol' Snake!
I had never fly fished.
I accidentally derailed this thread, so I started another one for fly fishing. Go here and drop a picture or a meme or something, and let's see if we can't keep it going.I've fished there!
I wanted to try Reds on the fly rod when I was working in Charleston a few years back but never got the chance. I tied a couple of shrimp patterns I thought might work, but never got to prove my theory. Now NC trout streams I've seen. French Broad, Davidson, Hazel Creek, Forney Creek, lots of options I never would have guessed before I lived here.
The North Mills River was my go to when I was in school in Asheville. My worry is that part of Asheville is getting built up especially with Sierra Nevada building their monstrous brewery/restaurant, so I actually have no idea if my old fishing spots are even good anymore.
I hear ya.
Colorado has changed as well. My ‘go to’ on the Eagle River is now someone’s back yard.
