Been a lot of years but back then it was pretty rugged and choked with downfalls. I'd be fishing the chatooga below Burrells for stockers with salmon egg patterns or go elsewhere with better water temps and wilder fish if I was casting flies. Just saying. IMO it's like shooting pen raised quail. Sorry, not trying to be a jackass with that comment. Chatooga may be fishing well with all the rain we've had. Usually that river can get high water temps. If you are fly fishing you probably want to be fishing mid 60s temp water or lower. Above that and trout slow down.
