Road trip!

Couldn't resist taking a few pics along the way! Thinking of a return trip this weekend with Leasa and enjoying a little fly time :)

Anticipation..

Long overdue post...

Much like the old Heinz Ketchup commercial, I feel like I am being slowly poured, squeezed and pushed out the front door. One day it's raining and 40 the next day it's warm and in the mid 70's. I have to admit that this year has been the least I have fished the cooler months and I cant stand it. Winter weather brings some great fishing but life seems to get in the way or at least that's my current excuse and I'm sticking with it. On this day me and Leasa decided to get out and scout around a little. I wanted to check some water I have been wanting to try for sometime now and also just to get out and recharge my batteries. I find that on the non fishing days it's a good thing to still get out there, look around and make a plan.. keeps the juices flowing. Great day it was, what more could I ask for, Great company, weather, water and scenery!

Took some shots along the way, hope you enjoy like we did! ... Cheers, JD.


Ont the way back, we drove through Stone Mtn.





This places feels like fish to me!





Sometimes it's the little things that catches my eye.






Our spot!

Scouting the Blues

Sunday I decided to scout some blue lines (wild trout water) I haven't fished before. I usually like to take the camera to snap some pics along the hike. The weather was cool, dry and the water was at perfect levels for the roughly 3 mile hike. Leasa joined me today and we had a blast! We stopped by the local Apple house to start off then I showed her some old home sites that once stood in the early 1900's only later to be taken out by flooding. Much history back in here, I know she enjoyed it. We agreed, we will be back with the fly rods and waders next time, a sweet spot this is. Hope you enjoy the shots I took along the way.

PS. Took her by a magical little place to meet my Deer friends..lol
