More dead artist videos....

I had not been on a small stream in 2 months.
We got hot, we got really dry. Quick like.
But, we got treated to regular thunderstorms last week.
Then a kind visit from Fred. Sorry, NC.
I wanted to head to this stream last Friday, but situations conspired against me.
Went down yesterday and hoped for decent flows.

Gaiters. I was prepared for the nettles.

Water temp was 63, levels were good, not great.
The Rattlesnake Plantain Orchids were past prime. Just like me. :laugh:

Fished the old Scott 7' 3wt glass I got from Muddy.
I like this rod. A lot.

I was not whacking them. A fish here and there.
LDR'd the best 2 fish of the day. No slam.
But it was good to wet wade and fish in the shade.
Good blood pressure day.

As soon as he said "nettles" I knew. Fraiser magnolia sealed the deal.

Good stuff. I've got an old Scott graphite in the 7 3 weight. It's a sweet rod also.

That jewel weed has some wicked nettles. Especially if you shave your legs. :cheers

Still suspended. Need a lot more rain and cooler temps before they open it back up. That part of VA has missed a lot of the rain we all have received and they honestly should of shut it down a month earlier then they did. Lots of FB reports of people fishing it on 90+ degree days with poor water conditions.

I'll be fishing some "quess what stream" water this coming week.
For all of my adoring followers.
