Wow I didn’t know that. That’s awesome! It’s one of my favorite rivers here. It’s so full of life. We’ve caught and hooked into so many species of fish out there since discovering it.
@@SlabDynasty I actually researched Longear Sunfish distribution. It appears they exist in NC an area around Raleigh only. However, there is a paper published stating that they do not and never existed in North Carolina at any point historically or present. Makes me wonder if you have stumbled upon something scientifically massive. Might be worth pursuing with the DNR just for the sake of interest/history.

@@SlabDynasty well I will add the 310,000 were stocked from 78-81.
You have me stumped about that panfish species wise. It has a mixture of everything it seems. Pumpkinseed, Longear, and Redbreast traits.
Dude, there are so many hybrids out there! I can’t imagine how many species actually exist in that river.

If you ever get to s w mo let me know I will show you some fly fishing
In Mt Gilead we only have panfish and bass
New sub from WInston-Salem NC! I haven't hit up my smallmouth areas this summer, sadly.
What shoes are those that your wading in?
What line are you using on the 3wt with the battenkill?
Fly line is a WF floating and leader is a 9ft 5x I believe.
