These places you don't kiss and tell about so I am not going to speak much of it or its location. Many small bows today and the usual chub or two. The water was much faster today and everything was hitting drifting nymphs. Tried some dries but no joy there today.<br />
The humidity was extremely high but it always has been here during this time of year. You could cut it with a knife. I covered about three miles today, that's three miles of rock hopping, crawling through the laurels and over the downed trees. Being the only one up this far today I felt it worth every drop off sweat. Enjoyed my bounty of Latakia today which works excellent at keeping the bugs away. Pipe of choice today was a 60's era Tom Howard. Rod an Orvis 3wt complimented with an Orvis CFO 1 loaded with Rio selective trout.<br />
Got rained on a little so the pictures are few however I think you'll enjoy them. As always thanks for stopping by as I airways look forward to hearing from each of you... Cheers, JD.<br />
<br />
PS.. I do think I'm ready for some new wading boots.. Ha!<br />

I have been asked to take a look back into the photo archives and post a few pics that had been posted previously or maybe never made a post. I feel that out of every 100 photos I take, I only see one or two I feel worthy of sharing. Much like your photos, they all hold some special memories of the past.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Like you, I feel blessed to live in such a beautiful area of our great country and that I am physically able to explore and enjoy as much as I can. I hope you too will go dig around your old photos and count the smiles they bring to your face as these did mine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Do you have a special photo you would like to share? If you like, I have been thinking of doing a guest photo post. Please feel free to send a pic or two to me if you would like to take part. Make sure to add a short caption so I can post it along with your photo. To keep in interesting, I would like to gather at least five or more for the post. I hope to hear from some of you soon!</div>

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. stopped by the local Apple house to start off then I seen old home sites that once stood in the early 1900's only later to be taken out by flooding. Much history back in here, 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.<br />

PS. Took her by a magical little place to meet my Deer friends..lol<br />

As I watched him grow I seen in increments the man he was becoming. A strong young man driven by principle, morales and ethics. I also started seeing myself as a young man. I watched him step away from me on the streams to cast his own line, I watched him take serious and patient aim downrange, I watched his leave the foundation I laid for him. I watched him become an outdoorsman. Now eighteen I find myself having to step away but with ever watchful eyes as I see him step away into life. His decision to take on the responsibility to guard this great country I knew was soon to come as it came to me as a young man. The man I call son will soon be under way with the United States Navy as a Gunners Mate.</p>
<p>How does a father know when he is done? He don't, he keeps being there as mine is for me. Maintaining the watchtower for when needed and awaiting to grant the title of father to the boy who is now a man.</p>

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 <a href="http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php?topic=127289.0" target="_blank">Mortimer NC</a>. 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.<br />
<br />
Ps.. The Mortimer link above shows the only picture I have ever seen of the old bridge in use, thrid pic down.<br />

Home to familiar waters where I could relax, enjoy the experience and take a few pictures. Decided to take the old truck, she performed excellent. Caught a small handful by mid day then decided to peel off the waders and grab the camera for a while. I missed having my son and Leasa along today, they had somethings to take care of so a solo day it was. Like the truck, I am starting to feel my age, knees ached and I seem a bit slower navigating the rocks and stream. I guess at our age, we are classics now..lol But with age comes wisdom, I seen the fish before they seen me today. Foliage is leaving us however, there were a few colors left to enjoy. Thanks for taking a moment to enjoy the day with me... Cheers JD<br />

This year with all that I have going on has taken a toll on my water time however, there is much more time to get out there being I fish all year long. Saturday me and my son Aron, took some time out for the range, Sunday me and Leasa hit the parkway with the top down and had a great time. Given I had some time today to myself, I decided to throw the camera in the saddle bag, grab the bike and hit the road for some local shots. Made a freind along the way, Milly the Mill cat. Thought if I couldn't take you fishing that I would take you along with me to explore some home town Americana, my town. Thanks for swinging by, I always enjoy hearing from everyone....Cheers, JD.<br />

My son joined me and always, its a pleasure to have him along side of me. We decided to hit the Wild Water first then off to delayed harvest (which was slim pickings) and finish the day. Around every turn was the beauty of Pisgah in all her glory. We stopped by Mortimer to hand off some cigars to Bruce at the store and then called it a day shortly after. A great day out in Pisgah with my son fly fishing, what more could a father want! Enjoyed the new Nikon also. I should also noted that my son has a new camera and has taken to photography a bit also. I think I am fortunate to have such a great lad to pass on these beautiful past times. Took some pics for you, hope you enjoy... Cheers, JD<br />
<br />
PS.. We had snow flurries already!<br />

Johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10414368952173664793noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4911810415830159283.post-31905047090559484932011-10-02T19:15:00.000-04:002011-10-02T20:59:58.940-04:00Mark Allen Fly Rods!<div>
I have seen pictures of these beauties being built on Google Plus and often wished I could get my hands on one just to see how good these things really are. As luck would have it and after making a comment to Mark that I would provide some field testing for him, the FedEx man shows up with, yup you guessed it, a <a href="https://plus.google.com/104852904265945295728/about?hl=en">Mark Allen</a> custom made fly rod!<br />
<br />
I told Mark I would give him an honest unbiased review and that I could give it a good work out on these beautiful Western North Carolina streams. If you know me much, you know I spend as much time as I can out there and with the weather turning cooler, I know this was going to be fun!<br />
<br />
(Specs)<br />
The rod is a beautiful 7ft<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">3wt (3 piece) Graphite with a moderate fast action. It has a reversed half wells grip made of super grade cork. Polished aluminum down locking reel seat along with single foot TiChrome rod guides. Mark chose gun metal gray with a Brown Trout finish which totally is a work of art. Suggested price is at $329.00 with rod tube. Being I support American made products as much as I can in this sport, I asked Mark about the parts. He stated they are all American made and that he wasn't sure of the guides at this time but he does get them from an American supplier. The rod tube is outfitted with four sleeves and locking zipper, green in color and super strong. The tube itself is made in the USA, This is a big plus for me!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br />
(Usage)<br />
I was able to get some serious Blue Line water time with this rod. Any wild water fly fisherman worth his grit isn't going to throw names out of his precious waters so you'll have to just go with me on this. Imagine streams that you have to hike into, fight the laurels and rock hop all day! Carrying this rod I noticed it was light but has a quality feel to it. When you rock hop around your bound to slip, fall or toss your rod. With that being said, I did just that, yup this is a review so why not give it hell I thought. It does well resisting scratches from normal wear and tear so, I tossed it up a few banks when needed my hands to hold on to the laurels to climb, still looking good. I decided to drop it in the water and I used it to keep some tree limbs out of my face. I know what your thinking, he is nuts, you don't use a fly rod for that, well I am reviewing a rod someone who is going to put their hard earned money into so the abuse is justified in my thought. The rod looks great, no problems here. I feel this rod will retain a beauty that will last during normal use for years.<br />
<br />
(Performance)<br />
I found this rod to cast exceptionally well for a 7ft rod. I used Rio Trout LT WF line rigged with 6X and in my opinion is a superb line for small streams when you want a smooth delicate presentation, I swear by it. My casting style is pure Appalachian. I cast left handed, right handed, around boulders, through trees and scrub so keep in mind, I'm not going to be seen in any distance casting competitions..ha! I was pleasantly surprised with the control of this rod and how I was able to correct in mid flight many of my sloppy casts. Sensitivity is a strong point of this rod also. I was able to feel the slight bumps of the submerged leaves flowing down stream and the short strikes of the wild trout without issue. Being I know the line is working with the rod to perform like this I decided to put some additional stressful use on it. I threw a nice #12 Stone into a popular tree and decided to play tug o war with it. It handles abuse as expected very well. Catching fish on it? Well catching wild trout around here makes you work at manipulating the retrieve and not so much on letting the rod do the work like on larger fish that you would catch on the Davidson etc. I was able to maintain tight lines and manipulate the fish where needed without issue. I feel without a doubt that if your fishing your typical small streams you will be pleased also with how this rod loads. It loads fast and I found it to be one of the rods strong points. It was a pleasure to cast given it loads fast and got me on fish fast. For the review I used an Orvis CFO 1 and my Abel TR-2.<br />
<br />
I decided to do something outside of the rods specifications (Who me?) I took it to a popular Delayed Harvest stream and see how it could handle itself. On this river I go directly to my Winston 5WT or my Sage 4WT and when chucking big streamers I usually run a large arbor and nothing smaller than 4x. Well I pulled up along side the river, tied on some 4x and a nice huge nasty #8 Slumpbuster. This placed way more stress on the rod during casts as expected. Back casts and roll casts were very tricky and I could not get near as much line out but hey, I expected that, The CFS was up and stripping that streamer through the current bowed that rod like it was a wheat field in a tornado. Did I catch anything in the DH?.. No unfortunately and I would have loved to for the review but it's called fishing, not catching right? Did the rod handle the added weight, yes from a structural integrity point of view. Did it perform well, not really but remember this is a small stream rod and not designed for this but if someone purchased this rod and thought they would hit huge water, I wouldn't want them disappointed. I remember my first rod, thought I could catch anything anywhere with it, not so true once I was out there or it was way to much on the small stuff. Buying a rod is like buying a pair of pants, make sure it fits.<br />
<br />
Another out of spec run I did with it was overloading it. I placed my Abel TR-2 on it loaded with 4wt. It done flawless and added a little more punch to the casts. I know some of you like to overload and I do too when the situation warrants it. I did not under load it based on my 2wt line was off the spool at the time. From my observations, it would perform as usual under loaded, light and slightly sloppy as they all do.<br />
<br />
(Comparison)<br />
I compared this rod to several of mine and found it closely resembles and performs like my Orvis Superfine "Trout Bum" which boasts a $575.00 price tag. The quality of the cork reminded me of my Winston however, its allover beauty is pure custom. I think if I were to add this to my arsenal I would look toward and Abel brown trout custom painted reel which would look awesome with the Brown Trout skin Mark put on it.<br />
<br />
Final thoughts..<br />
<br />
This is a superb three weight rod designed for small streams that has a little wiggle room on the upper end near a four weight. Its custom paint scheme is mantle quality and screams look at me! Overall quality is of a custom quality rod and I would feel it will stand up to many years of normal use. At $329.00 with rod tube it's a great deal and rivals rods costing more. This is an American made rod by an American craftsman and the hard work Mark puts into them can be seen and felt. I feel you will be happy with this rod when used within its specification range. I suggest you contact Mark as it's rumored he may be making other weights too and they may fit your style more. I am sure that being a custom shop Mark can deliver to your needs. Mark can be contacted at <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #00681c; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; white-space: nowrap;"><a href="mailto:markffsc@gmail.com">markffsc@gmail.com</a> </span><br />

Temps in the upper 60's for the most part and nothing to do? You guessed it, hit the mountains, scout some water, eat a good meal and just kick back. Took a few shots as usual, thought you may enjoy... Cheers, John.<br />

I feel my Cherokee history that runs through my veins awakens and recharges my soul when I am in the forest or on the stream. The bonding I have with my son is unbreakable. We have been out there together since he could cast a rod. I watched him grow into fine flyfisherman, outdoorsman and respectful of all things. Passing on your vaules and traditions is the goal of any father. He is approaching his 18th birthday, enrolled into college and plays guitar with his band who just had a show the day prior in Charlotte. I know he was tired from the night before but still, he gathered what he needed and followed me to the stream. I feel like me, his soul is refreshed within the forest and waters. I know now the foundation I have instilled will be passed on, being a father, you know this. I know he will pass on these things to his son or daughter for he is a oh-sda-duhn ~ Asgaya <em>(Good Man).</em><br />

I post or advertise only places I shop at and gear I use, own and employ on the stream. If you really know me, you know I buy and honor AMERICAN made gear! Of course that's hard to do anymore. Call me the old curmudgeon of the stream and that's fine with me..lol What am I trying to say? Well if I take a moment to speak on something, it must be of some use in the real world of fly fishing (The one where you torture gear "All" year long) and must have some quality to it.<br />
<br />
Have you heard of the <a href="http://www.mooseknucklelanyards.com/">Mooseknuckle lanyard</a> yet? Well, I was given one to field test by <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/@mklanyards">Jeremy Barnes</a> of Mooseknuckle Lanyards. I have known Jeremy for some time and can say that he is a stand up kinda guy who I would fish with any day. So you say that makes me biased? Maybe but as a real friend should be, I'll be honest out of respect. My review.. The Mooseknuckle Lanyard is a quality built American made lanyard by a fly fishermen for fly fishermen. Time has been taken in all aspects of its creation. The one thing I look for in a lanyard is how it will carry its payload. The Mooseknuckle does the trick in a very comfortable fashion. The other is how it feels around your neck after hours on the water. I found myself forgetting it was even there! This is mainly do to the fact he has created a slip type method for adjustment unlike many who use an adjustment to the back. This will also be a strong point for the lanyard as you will not be as likely to wear out the neck foam area as easily.This time of year most of us shed the gear and go as light as possible. The Mooseknuckle is made mainly from Para-cord which if you have ever used it in the military you know it ranks highly as being strong and light weight, this is great for me when its hot out and I keep the gear to the minimum. Below you will find some photo's I took, look close and see for yourself at the quality and simplicity of this lanyard. Your not going to find any fancy beads, charms or gimmicks however, he does make a ladies model in pink. What you will find is a great lanyard, American made and will most likely be the last one you buy. Make sure to <a href="mailto:info@mooseknucklelanyards.com">email Jeremy</a> for the latest info as the lanyard is only in a beta stage at this point and he plans on making different models available. I am looking forward to seeing what he has in store.<br />
<br />
Cheers, enjoy...and remember, wear your "Mooseknuckle" with pride! Tight lines from your local wild water curmudgeon... JD<br />
<br />
PS.. Jeremy, your not getting this lanyard back!<br />

We got there and the water was murky brown and had recently been blown out, but who cares.. I had my son with me! We have traveled many miles and stomped in many a stream together to the point, catching fish is secondary and fellowship is primary. We decided to call it an early day due to water conditions and head to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Todd,_North_Carolina">Todd NC</a> to have lunch. We had a blast just kicking back sharing memories and dreams of the next great stream and chatting with the store keeper. Todd is one of those town that is 100% Americana and proud of it, actually I am too! Took a few shots so you guys could come along with us... Cheers, John & Aron.<br />

On busy holidays I tend to stay away from the water. Many out of town folk come in for the holiday and bombard the water and highways so I sit back and let them have the weekend. Today I decided to take a road trip on the Blue Ridge Parkway. \Weather was hot but soon turned overcast and cooled down slightly. Surprisingly we encountered very few people! I decided to do what I developed this blog for in its early beginnings, use my camera phone or simple point n shoot to grab some shots and hope for a good one or two. Today I chose to only use my Samsung Droid Charge and to only post this entry via mobile blogger. I'm not expecting much but here it is... enjoy and happy 4th!<br />

Trent has always been curious about it and has always enjoyed spinner fishing for trout. What made today special is that Trent will be leaving for service in the United States Marine Corps and we felt what better way to send him off than have a mans day out on the stream and give him a memory he can reflect on. I know all about those memories and how they can keep you going as I too served my country and often found myself reflecting on home. We also wanted to show Trent some of what this beautiful country has to offer, the freedoms and land we love, enjoy and what he will be protecting. I want to thank Trent for stepping up and doing this for all of us, I am proud of him and will keep him in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you all do too, for all of our Troops. <strong>Semper Fidelis</strong> - "Always Faithful".<br />
<br />
Ps. Trent, when the going gets tough, just remember.. YeeeeHaaaw!..lol You know what I mean :) and I promise not to send any Bra's or Panty Hose's in your care packages to Paris Isle..hmmm :)<br />

I slipped in late Saturday and was greeted by some of the locals that offered me shelter. How great it is to have such people in my life that the without regard, will shelter you, feed you and entertain you. All this is because of one simple thing that allowed our paths to cross.. Flyfishing. I have often heard of it being the sport of Kings and Gentlemen and I must say, I agree. Always greeted with a smile and a handshake I often find myself sitting down pasing a tale or two, sharing a warm bowl of chillie or cool one. Sometimes you may not see another for weeks however, you pick up right where you left off and the fellowship fits like an old glove. I have ate dinner with families I didn't know to start with, sat and traded flies, passed along pointers and stories with strangers and threw many a stick to their furry companions on the water. The bonds you make run deeper than would seem to many.<br />
<br />
I drove deep into the forest and was greeted by wild browns and bows that were eager to take an elk hair caddis. I lost track of time and found myself not being able to make it to my shelter that was so kindly offered to me. I decided to stop to grab some nabs and a drink at a local store and chatted a bit. We traded old Army stories and times of when Ft. Bragg would send up special forces trainees for mountain training. This place holds not only a beauty but a ruggedness only fit to train the ones who protect us. Funny how this places gives and gives to us all and without asking for anything in return. As I was about to leave, the man at the store said.. "You can seek shelter here" I asked how much, he stated, "Nothing" and that he would not have it any other way. Once again I was amazed to find another friend of the river. I camped for the night enjoyed picking guitar, eating more pork and beans, a couple of cool ones and some good times.<br />
<br />
I awoke, took down my camp and headed back to the water. As I geared up, I felt the urge to give thanks for what was provided for me by these people, the forest and God. I took out the old worn Bible that was given to me, read for a while, told the old man upstairs to grant me enough time to pay it forward and thanked him for such a place.<br />
<br />
Took a few shots for the blog, enjoy and if your ever down this way.. feel free to take shelter out back, I wouldnt have it any other way. :)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<em>God grant that I may live to fish For another shining day, But when my final cast is made I then most humbly pray, When nestled in your landing net As I lay peacefully asleep, You'll smile at me and judge That I'm "good enough to keep." </em><br />

Couldn't have asked for a better day, everything was perfect. Much rock hoping today, seemed endless but my rewards were many! Hatches everywhere, even the Bats came out early to enjoy a meal. Plunge pool after plunge pool, I found myself thankful to be here. Dries done the trick today! Life is starting to arrive in the forest, small buds and blooms made the hike in even more enjoyable. Mid way, I took a break, layed back on a large rock along the creek and just gazed upward, I think I seen what heaven must be like I thought. Took some shots along the way for you...enjoy, John.<br />

Took a day and just went wherever the waters took me. My beloved mountains never fail to recharge my soul and refuel my spirit... enjoy some shots along the way.<br />
<br />
Ps.. The boot shot was taken to display the calrity of the water that day which proved a challenge with the smart fish in the area. And yes, thats a stuffed Bob Cat :)<br />

Rain fell but who cares when you can fish waters like these. Streamers done the trick this day and with the rain, we had the river almost to ourselves. Thanks to Aunt Janet, Gregg, Ollie, Goldie and Misty for making us feel at home. It was nice waking up to her breakfasts in the mornings. Thanks to Gregg too for showing me some nice looking water that on my next trip over, we both will go and try.<br />
<br />
As always, a few shots along the way, enjoy....John.<br />
