    Default Saluda river trout

    Thinking about giving it a try in the morning for first time this year. Anyone tried lately?

    Me and my friend walked up to the the first set of rapids and wadded out and there were abunch of the fingerlings that they stocked in December jumping all around the rocks but they were tiny. We fished with beetle spins. Didn't catch a one also the river is high

    Check your PMs in errrrr...5 minutes.
    Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.

    My dad fishes over there a good bit. He went a few weeks ago but I don't think he did any good. He has caught some decent fish over there over the past few years though.

    Anyone tried it yet? I am thinking about giving it a shot this Saturday. Looking for a good place to wade or might take the kayak if it's worth the float. Thanks.

    I miss the city limits fishing Columbia provided.

    Between the stripper run, saluda trout, and smallies I stayed busy during the Spring in college.

    Keep a link to the USGS gauge downstream of Murray handy. It can save you the time of driving out there since the water level is unpredictable.

    I've thoroughly enjoyed exploring Columbia's waterways.

    Not many places you can fly cast for trout in the morning, cast plastics for smallmouth midday, and toss plugs to striper in the afternoon, the catfish after dark....without taking the boat out of the water but once.

    Don't really care about the little tamies as much, hoping to catch a decent eater or two. Might have to go north for that. Never really fished for trout before.
