Petey and I linked up this past weekend for some backpacking in a forgotten part of the Mountain State.

Petey found him, the true beast. I believe he was longer than John Holmes. Why do I fish for sardines in NC again? b';

I wanted a fire real badly, couldn't get the fucker to burn, a few days of rain and the humid forest left me feeling robbed of a true camping setting :'(

Saturday dawned bright and blue, full of promise.

Walked downstream for about 3 miles and fished back to camp, bigger water, big fish seen, no John Holmes brought to hand. I fucked up big "jigging" a weenie past Xanadu's face, he looked up and said "fuck off Saffa" n!n

Headed back to Petey's since a good 5 miles of stream got hammered and we figured upstream would be rather skinny with low flows

This creek was so big that a high hole was virtually impossible.

@ Robs_seven: This creek was so big that a high hole was virtually impossible. It was like fishing the Watauga behind Steelrain's house, except there were 14" brookies cruising around. We did see a fish that went about 17" and I hope to God it wasn't a brookie coz that for me would be like going on a bad acid trip :o
@ Mudwall: Wymer? Are you home grown? I bet you on something thats home grown too! We were several ranges north. It's a good thing Petey can play banjo and speak mountain, or this shit talking Saffa may have ended up as a human lampshade after demanding a corned beef snadwich without mustard 8)
