TR Wayno's Creek
 

I'll call it Wayno's Creek because Wayno fished it 20 years
ago when it had lots of brookies and I'd have never found
it except for Wayno's directions.

Soon after the road went from blacktop to gravel the signs
started to appear, Hatchery Supported, they said. It was nice
to know that I was driving next to public water but I'd have
preferred to see the Wild signs. There was a pickup truck at
the end of the road and I thought for a moment to just go
somewhere else but decided that they may not be fishing up
in there and to at least rig up before deciding. Good choice
because a few minutes later two guys in camo carrying shotguns
came down the trail from their morning turkey hunt.

There was a nice riffle and pool just upstream from the parking
lot and I slithered in under the mountain laurel with my little
1 wt and tossed a PMD into the riffle. An acrobatic rainbow was
soon brought to hand. My feet were wet, my hand smelled of fish,
already it's a great day.

But I didn't come here for no stockers, I want wild brookies.
Walked upstream a mile, mile and a half, but all I caught was
rainbows. About a quarter mile upstream from the parking lot
Not Wayno's Creek North joins Not Wayno's Creek South to form
Wayno's Creek, I naturally chose North, perhaps the brookies
are on the other side.

No pics, I charged my camera battery before I left and it said
it took a full charge but it's deader than a door nail today.
The nice lady at Kerr Drugs said the closest place to get a
Lithium Ion for a Sony digital camera is the WalMart in Sylva.
I don't mind driving to the WalMart in Sylva but to buy a
battery I'd actually have to go into the WalMart in Sylva and
truth be told I just don't need pics *that* bad. ;-)

um, not that my memory has flagged a touch, but, er, would you mind
emailing me with those directions?

It's not my stream to reveal, you'll have to try to find
Wayno in a non-senior moment, (good luck with *that* ;-).

Well, that's precisely the problem, isn't it? :-)
