The Roanoke River
Fishing from Roanoke Rapids/Weldon, NC
 
 
The Season:
Hickory shad kick the season off in March with fantastic light tackle and fly fishing. Striped bass arrive in early April. The fishing peaks in mid-April and continues through late May, depending on water levels and temperatures. April is the “keeper” season. Anglers are allowed 2 fish between 18 and 22 inches/person/day; one may be over 27 inches. May is catch and release only. There is usually excellent topwater action in the late afternoon and early morning.
Boats: 19-21’ flat bottom skiffs which comfortably fish 2-3 people.
The Tackle:
Spin: 8-12 lb. test. Baitcasting: 12-20 lb. test. Fly rods: 8 wts with a 350-450 grain sink tip line depending on water level. Single barbless hooks are required. All conventional tackle is provided. A selection of flies are provided for the long rodders.

Fuel Surcharge: With the wild unpredictability of gas/fuel prices, fuel surcharges MAY apply. In North Carolina our prices are fixed on fuel costs of $3.00/gallon.
