This time of year I really enjoy being out on the cool streams of western NC. Usually quiet of others and with the foliage down, I enjoy seeing things not possible while they are covered in vegitation. I fished an area that in the early 1900's was attempting to be incorporated had a population of about 800. One flood to many and no more was the little town of
Mortimer NC. Many who know me, know I enjoy that area not only for the fishing but for the locals who I have come to know very well. I usually use Mortimer as a base camp, sometimes traveling 30-40+ miles away or sometimes I just sit back and enjoy the simplicity of fishing NC Delayed harvest waters along Wilson Creek. This was one of those simple trips, relaxing and enjoying the moment, working on my cast and grabbing a pic or two. Thanks for stopping in and as always, looking forward to hearing from each of you... Cheers..JD.
Ps.. The Mortimer link above shows the only picture I have ever seen of the old bridge in use, thrid pic down.

The underbase of the bridge column.
Knowing this was hand laid in the early 1900's is pretty cool when you look close. |
