After working all weekend and dragging in from work late on Monday, I had a brief respite from meeting some deadlines and chose to take to the water. I've fished many miles of this stream but was a first for this section. I'd been warned about the severity and danger of this creek but nothing prepared me for what I was to encounter. I did not commit to working much mileage after seeing the first two major impassible falls. I took many pics but do want to give away landmarks. This is the majority of the fish caught on this short wade. A couple did not want their pics taken.



The first netted was a disappointment. Friggin pune.









I'm starting to grin a little.







These bows rocked.​

Both the bows and browns are now sporting their mating outfits.

I guess I never noticed this time of year being that different, but they sure are pretty. Glad you posted the pics.

All nice fish, and looks like **** good water.

I've been jonesing bad for weeks to have a butter-yellow brown like that one in hand. Hasn't happened for me yet this fall, and not sure how often I'm going to be able to get out for a while. (More work is definitely a good thing, but that boy's voice in my heart is saying "But what about sneakin' off to fish?? How's that going to happen now?!")

Really nice trout for smaller waters.. I bet those wild bow's were fun on the fly-rod.

Beautiful fish, I just got back from Asheville but didn't bring my rod due to b-day shenanigans. Love the mountain scenery and ability to fish remote water like that.
