New Waters

Had a chance to get out and explore some on my own yesterday. I don't get to do this often, so it was a real treat. I love to check out new waters, especially when they turn out to be a plausible destination for a weekend camp / fishing trip. Don't know if they will turn out to be good enough to guide trips on yet, but stay tuned.
Also got a chance to check out a wild stream that I used to fish. This is the best wild stream that I ever sat foot in, period! Tons of wild bows and even some BIG browns call this little stream home. It is such tight quarters that you had to stay in the stream, could not get out of the water due to the thick vegetation on either side. I haven't fished this little jewel in over 20 years, due to various reasons, and can't wait to see if she will still produce. If so, I will be a happy camper.....literally!

  1. Sometimes it seems so hard to find new streams. I usually fish the Hiwassee and during the summer weekends love Tellico.
    Occasionaly fish Sping Creek as well. Went to Blue Ridge last month and was not impressed. Hope that does work out. Would love to try a new area.

  2. Yeah it is hard to find new water. Especially local waters. Hopefully it will turn out to be worth the trouble. It is fun to explore though.
