I hope it stays cool this month. The water temperatures are super high for this time of year due to the dry stretch, Helene destroying the foliage along the banks, and warm temps. Trout are under enough stress already. We need a cool, damp spring.
I disagree. The foothills and maybe even nw piedmont of NC have a shot of freezing temperatures the next couple weeks. There will be at least 2 cool downs during this period
