A friend took this picture while hiking in lost cove, near Wilson Creek, this past weekend.  Pretty interesting.  Looks like a hatchery Brown.

The weak won't survive in the wild! Run up from Wilson I suspect.

This carnage played out right in front of me on the Smith River back in August 2012.  I had no idea Northern water snakes were such hungry critters.  That's a mouthful of brown trout!

Seen a sizable water snake snack on a 12" catfish a few years ago. Impressive.

Joe,


Do you drive a truck by chance?

I drive a white 2001 F-150, but haven't been in the Mountains fishing since May.  My friend sent this picture to us.  I live in Greenville, NC
