Our Foothills group lead by Parks Davis made a trip to Cherokee, NC to fish the trophy stream. Parks said that they saw some big fish and even landed some of them. Here's some photos of one that Parks landed earlier this week.
Check our fishing outings on our page or better yet, send Parks an email and ask to be added to his weekly blast of where and when they are going each week.
