I live close by and stopped to fish the SR area for the first time since spring. I fished 3 hours without catching a trout (just some chubs and bluegills). I talked to a fisherman from Wilmington that fishes there all the time, and he said he hasn't really done well there this fall. The stream was in great shape (flow wise) and the trees were showing their autumn colors - it was nice to be out. Sorry I don't have better news. Good luck.
