Went trout fishing some delayed harvest areas today. Had a great time. Caught about 30 between me and a buddy. Always nice to be outdoors. My new frogg togg waders and felt bottom boots were awesome.

We were fishing delayed harvest so you can’t keep them till June.

Water was nice and cool. The waders are breathable so i didn’t sweat at all. They were killing the gold blade rooster tails today. Going back tomorrow I think and going to try the small jerk baits that look like rainbows.

I've waded for trout since I was about 13. I only wear waders if the air temp + water temp is less than 100 or so. Meaning Nov or Dec to about April. And one at least on occasion I forgot my waders in March and still fished. I hate waders, and mine are Orvis breathable ones.

Good luck.

Went back to the Mitchell river today. The bite was off I guess the heat shut them down.

Why exactly are the trout rules so ridiculous in NC?

Delayed harvest is a tourism revenue source. It draws people into areas they might not otherwise go to at times of year they might not normally go. They draw a lot of people.

And some of the crazy laws are legitimately based on game mgt. although some may also be outdated.

Can you use power bait in NC? I've heard conflicting statements about it. Probably doesn't work real good for non hatchery fish.

In general trout water for stocked fish, yes you can.

I would think power bait would be illegal in DH waters because of the smell it would meet the natural bait definition and you can’t use natural bait until June.

Probably should have have capitalized "General trout water", as in catch and keep no bait restrictions.
