Springtime, Wine and a Barn at a Valle Crucis bed and breakfast

Brenda & Rick were enjoying wine on the Appleview porch. Barb & Tom were walking up to the Baird family cemetary. Brenda’s wine glass was on the railing. Here’s what it looked like.

Flyfish at a Valle Crucis bed and breakfast

Last weekend Jim, from Greer,SC and Derrick, from Summerfield, NC caught between them about a dozen trout in about an hour. Even though there were a lot of trout that got away these 2 guys had a blast fishing early before breakfast then later in the afternoon. One report I just read said fishing has been “phenomenal” lately for those using Frenchie nymphs, Copper Johns, pink pheasant tails, san juan worms and woolly buggers. I’m not a flyfisherman so I don’t know about the lures I just mentioned but I do know that rooster tails & small spinner lures have worked for me in the past.
Since the Baird House is the only Boone area bed and breakfast and only Valle Crucis bed and breakfast located on the Watauga River it may be the perfect place to lure in a Rainbow ( Tom, a friend from Greensboro, caught the largest rainbow of his life here…19 inches ) or a Brown because the inn is only 43 paces ( I just paced it off to be exact ) from the inn. How’s that for convenience & proximity? So, ladies bring your books ( the rocking chairs & porches are calling you ) and credit cards for shopping & guys bring your rods,tackle & waders.
