The water
South Fork New River is a freestone river in North Carolina, fished for smallmouth bass, redeye bass, panfish, trout — rainbow, brown. On free-flowing water the trajectory is the story: falling and clearing after a bump is the window, rising water pushes fish to the banks and brings colour.
