Saw the show and have to agree with all that's been stated. Was also
really disappointed about the lack of "instructional" info presented.
I caught the advert for this show a couple of weeks ago in TU's mag.
and was really looking forward to the broadcast. Alas......
How about some of the NC-claver's posting some feedback? Bill in Va.

Timing is everything. None of the brookies I caught while attending
three separate NC claves in as many years was four pounds in
weight......at the time. Doubtless, all of them are by now.

I would love to, John, as much for the company as for the fishing.
Unfortunately, my arrangement with my putative employers is such that
I am forced to choose between eating and camaraderizing, at least for
the nonce. Maybe next spring.

hm........maybe i should try working for a
living?..........mmmm......nah.

As much as you post during working hours, it's obvious you don't work for a
living.

Well, gotta go. I'm on the clock, you know.

didn't see the show. but... 4 lb brookies in nc are from the trout zoos
only. tv trout shows are commercial bull****. teevee show producers
don't like the trouble, expense, and uncertainty associated with the
real story on nc brook trout fishing - thank god, goddess, and mother
nature. a 12 inch native brook trout in nc is unusually large and a
rarity. i've caught only one in my adventures chasing native brookies.
come fish with us sometime if you wanna know the true story...

And yet the latest issue Trout (TU's magazine) has a very nice story on
Appalachian brook trout, including a shot of a stream that looks for all the
world as if its flowing down a grand staircase built of car sized boulders. And
no pictures of mesomorphic brookies.

Also the TU TV show last year did an episode on the Mecan R. in Wisconsin where
they were virtually rained out and spent most of the show talking water quality
and tying flies. Which, come to think of it, may explain why they might have
felt a need to spice up the production values this year.

It is a very good article. If they'd spent a little time and effort maybe
they could have had the TV crew tag along on that story. Christopher Camuto,
who wrote the article in Trout, has a marvelous appreciation for the
mountains, and if he'd let a TV crew participate I'm sure it would have been
an interesting program.

What month in the springtime would be the best? No promises but, as I've written
before, the mother-in-law lives in Fairfield Glade TN and I have permission to
abandon Jacci there if we ever go back down to visit.
