Was trying to be a HERO!

[Dave C]

The day started when I woke up and was supposed to mow the yard. I walked outside and said forget it, I’m out of here. So I threw the gear in the jeep grabbed a coke and I was headed to the mountains. After an hour of concrete, rocks, mud, and cars I made it to my destination. The day started out slow after fishing a few runs, and with more water to cover it started to pick up as I was getting higher in elevation and with stoneflies in the air the fishing started getting good.

Beautiful place and beautiful fish, Jake. You're right about just throwing the stuff in the vehicle and going, too. As long as you don't do it too often. ;D

I'm feeling the need to come see my friends out your way once again.

[Dave C]

Most of the time I just throw the gear in the car and go. Then I figure out were I'm going to go on the way there. If I'm alone! ;D

There's a lot to be said for that attitude. If you live close to water like you do. GOOD water is about 4-1/2 hrs. away for me, though. Hard to be spontaneous when that's the deal, 'ya know?

[Dave C]

That stinks! It takes me 10min to get to the nearest trout waters and a door step to the nearest smallie water. We need to hit the water some time.

I'd like that. I've got friends in Erwin and Flag Pond, so I'll eventually get up your way. I was going to try to make it to Tennessee this summer, but it looks like my summer's gonna get eaten by a class I'm taking.

Is that smallie water the Nolichucky, by any chance?
