Oriental, North Carolina - Saltwater Fishing Report
Neuse River
The weather hasn’t been the greatest but we’ll still been catching fish. April can be unsettled weather but here on the Neuse River our many protected creeks can give anglers an opportunity to catch plenty of specks, reds, flounder and even a few stripers and that’s what we are doing. The fish will move out of these areas soon, so now is the time to go!
Catching fish on fly and light tackle!
