well, if you are talking about the tellico when it crosses the

prettier streams.

and if you have the gall to show some ****ing illini asshole your
secret streams in the old north state before you would do the same for me,
then i will have to shoot you dead, next time we meet.

maybe...

Anybody who drinks Budweiser and likes his dog as much as Fortenberry does
must have at least SOME redeeming social value. He's obviously hitting the
tourist traps and I guess I just felt sympathy for a poor yankee who just
doesn't get to spend much time in TONS.

Today we're gonna hike in to that tourist trap called
Slickrock. As for not spending much time in North
Carolina five days of fishing is both too little and
too much. My legs are sore, my shins have been barked
enough to qualify as mailmen and this 48 year old is
about fished out, but on the other hand there's some
streams I wanted to fish and I just didn't have the
time with only five days.

Harry Middleton discovered these streams while passing
through on his way to West Virginia. A dollop of rotten
potato salad and a viscious case of food poisoning made
him stop and in spirit he never really left. Now I'd
hate to compare roff to a dollop of rotten potato salad
and the boy lawyer from Rowan County to a viscious case
of food poisoning, but there you go, that's how I discovered
this place. I just wish it had been in my early teens
instead of my early forties.
