just back from my annual camp-n-fish adventure with my friend mark. we
camped on a small remote stream i'll call "arsehole creek". peaceful spot. the stream had an abundance of small fish, all rainbows...largest was about 8 inches. we fished it one day, then traveled out to other venues. these are some photos of arsehole(s). g |

the next day we fished mark's favorite stream "lower creek". another
excellent day in a fine place with lots of compliant fish. mark's dog was remarkable, rock-hopping and remaining behind the fisherman so as not to spook the pool or run. i suspect he'll be casting a flyrod when i see him next year. |

the next 2 days we fished "woodrow's creek" brook trout section and
forest road sections. we caught the native brookies in almost every pool of the upper section, and plenty of rainbows and browns. ...and fire pink (a/k/a indian pink) flower patch, one of my favorite nc mountain stream flowers. |

mark returned to work on tuesday and i moved camp to a motel in banner
elk. fished the "moose river", a catch and release stream. given the easy access to the stream, i was surprised to have had it all to myself. not another fisherman seen. i woke up a pair of mallards, who kept me company for half of the day. once i figured out what the trout wanted (parachute adams...duh!), it was as good a half day of catching as i've had on any of the boone/banner elk area streams (except for the zoo trout on the delayed harvest watauga). an excellent time each day... returned home today with some more happy memories of my times in the nc mountains...chasing the great mystery. jeff (...and, thanks mark) |
