Nice trip story--plan to open my season in N.C. brookie stream in
ten days. What is a forerunner ?
I just hike back downstream to trail to car and hardly ever get
lost ! But then again with my aged body I never fish very far
upstream. Brookie streams in N.C. are tough climbing----spending more
time on stocked delayed harvest open streams as Dave described in
his post about his Wilson Creek adventure.
