Doesn't get any better than that. Old school! The past several years I have found some picky bastards, mostly in lakes, that won't go for anything else than an Adams.Quote:

Got out today in northwest NC. The trout were tiny and few, but the hike and scenery made up for the lack of fish. Attachment 138124Attachment 138125Attachment 138126Attachment 138127Attachment 138128Attachment 138129
Hit the Delayed Harvest section of Wilson Creek today. I've kayaked the gorge section of this creek many times, but never fished it. (have fished the wild upper reaches)
Didn't move over 200 yards for something like 6 hours... Big, Ugly and yellow dries were most popular today. Mostly browns, a few brookies and rainbow. Good day. Again solo fishing is bad for pics...

All in all a solid weekend of product testing. Back in ID, hopefully to scratch out the remnants of the Salmon flies.
Daughter's little piggy 'bow from the weekend. South Holston River here in East Tennessee.

Didnt check h2o temp but It usually gets a great big bug hatch. Haven't heard word as to them coming off. Many years the water is pretty dirty during the hatch. This yr could be a good yr.
Thanks for the beta Schwerty. Going to do some creekin tomorrow evening. Looking to get out this weekend, let me know if you're around.
I'm around but gotta be around here. Prolly fishin Jenny Lake on sat. No fishin sun. You'reQuote:

If they stop, they lose ground.
Watauga is even worse.
Good for jets and drifters, bad for wading access.
Nice color on that piggy bow, very pronounced stripe :)
Beaverhead, most exciting moment of the day. Good sized bow on a small Salmon egg. Buddy caught it but cameraman privileges gave me a pic as well

Been high water and flooding in North VT, so pond fishing has been the target recently.

I'm trying to get a bit more involved in Phw and working to try and set up an overnighter on the green later this summer. If you think you might be able to/ interested in becoming involved or could manage to control a craft in a manner condusive to the posiive pursuit of the fishes or at least navigate a section of river hullside down let me know. Or if you possesed any organizational fundraising skill I suck in that department
Heading to fontenelle this afternoon w/ the pops and furkid be @ weepin rock cg till thurs. night fri morn if anyone gots a hall pass to burn
oh and this thread rocks strong work fishermags
SFB awesome volunteer work, if I am able to get away from the desk I would be more than happy to lend my boat and meager rowing skills for the cause.
