Mortimer, NC

Pulled an all dayer in Mortimer NC. lost three nice pigs, one almost in hand! I did however, land two piglets and a few 10-12 brook trout. Weather was excellent starting out at 33 and ending up at 70. The big nasty #6 (Aka slumpbuster) in Olive was the show stopper once again, this fly is freaking HOT! I seen so many attempted strikes by some huge fish. They appeared to come right to it and roll away. Almost missed the shot on the second piglet..lol

    Woo Pig Sooie! Weather's been great this late into November. Glad to see you're taking advantage of it.

    Not so much fishing for me. Did scout a "new to me" stream I'm eager to hit next spring (or this year, if the weather permits)

    John,

    Thanks for the invite but, I used my day off already this week. You sound like me, I get up earlier to go fishing than I do to go to work. Im that guy that is checking the light and saying just one more fish, and Im always driving home in the dark.
