From what i saw at Upper Barton ramp at Falls today I wouldn't be surprised if all NC WRC ramps are closed soon. Parking lot over flowing and Ski boats with 8-10 people per boat and obviously not close family members.

Farrington still open ?, was planning to take my dad fishing in morning. Hour and a half away. If anyone close by or knows would be greatly appreciated.

Yes , it's open . Customer came today about 4:00 pm looking used prop He was there this morning. Hit a log he said in open water on the other side of bridge and ripped one of the blades completely off. We had a used 1, so he's ready to go again. So yes it's open.
Great thanks for update. I will definitely be on the lookout for logs floating. Plus driving slow since it will be so cold in morning.

Thanks for askin'. My brother and I went to finish running the break-in on the new Mercury Pro XS engine and to try the bass for a bit. We caught 4 bass (two of which were about 4 lbs and two about a pound and a half) and 1 hungry grinnel (about 6 1/2 lbs) that made for some drag screaming fun... although it all but destroyed my spinnerbait by the time I finally got him under control and in the landing net. Oh yeah, almost forgot... my brother caught two flathead catfish about 1 1/2 pounds (each) off of a Carolina rigged soft plastic copper colored crawfish. It was fun, but it was nothing compared to what's to come... Lord Willing.

I fished Fearrington Point today. It was a lot windier that I anticipated and the crappie bite was poor, despite the surface temp being 62-65 degrees. My son and I pulled crankbaits for a while with only a small perch to show for our efforts. We pulled into a cove to get a break from the wind and he reeled in a small bass on a spinner.
One thing worth mentioning is that while the ramps are still open, there have been numerous signs installed since last week banning any activities besides launching and recovering boats (fine by me!) I think they are enforcing this pretty aggressively, as I saw a Sheriff’s deputy drive by the ramp as I was unloading. I stopped by about a week ago and the place was packed, so I’m glad to see some common sense used to limit the crowding of the facilities without shutting them down for responsible boaters.
