Fished from 8-12. Had heavy fog at dock when starting but 1/2 mile into Big Water it was clear so headed to back and went up Toxaway before the sun came up over mountain. Ton of bait and a lot of good marks but no fish.
Pulled on the flats and ran back to mouth and worked worked that without a touch until about 11:45 and started pulling lines as I was moving into the big water.
While pulling had three hits. Nice rainbow that hit the SWR at 33 pulling a Jr. Streak Monkey Puke. Then MS Fat Nancy free slider went with a brown. Just as I was reeling in the last board the final line in the water went off. Grabbed it to catch up to the fish and put it in the rod holder to finish getting the board out of the way. Fish was gone when I pick up the rod again. That fish also hit a free slider pulling a MS Black Widow.
Talked to Sam at the dock. He did not have any fishing the big water on the south side.
Rainbow about 3 1/2
Brown about 2
