Giant Koi in the Watauga?
Last week I found myself fishing on the Watuaga river. The day started just like any other day of fishing with Nice catches of wild rainbows and browns. I worked runs and pools with nymph rigs and finally decided to walk downstream to a favorite hole I had left behind. When I got there, same thing, browns and rainbows but wait, whats that huge orange and black thing swimming in the shadows? I suddenly realized that the trout in this pool were not alone! I only saw the monster fish once before it vanished. If I had to guess I would say that the giant fish was a Koi that escaped from a pond nearby. I know one thing, I’ll be back to find out!
