My trip to NC Streams, brookies

[FL_Fishing_Fanatic]

Hello all, Just wanted to let you know how my trip to NC went from 5/1 to 5/8. Had a great time, weather was great except for Monday which rained most the day (note to self: secure gear lids always!).

Caught lots of fish, mostly DH areas, 61 fish on the Nanatahala, 20 on the Tuck and 6 on the Pidgeon (hadnt stocked it yet), 5 wild and 3 brookies off parkway (the highlight).

I was disappointed about the Pidgeon. This is one of my favorite places, stocked or not. Upon arrival I saw they had cleared about 1/4 mile between 215 and the river though not up to the river. Looks ugly and mildly harder to access.

Base camp was moonshine Creek Campground in Balsam, really nice place. Small creek where I practiced my small creek tactics. Actually have small trout in it.

One of these times I need to hook up with someone here to learn more, always ready to learn. I'll supply the beer  0--0 I prefer a good IPA :)

Heres some pictures, not many though.


My solution the the problem of hamocks not having a beer holder.



Typical hachery brook on the Nanatahala, one picture is enogh, all the same though always fun to catch.



View of nearby bald from brookie stream, no need to name stream though I'm sure most will know it.



The brookie stream



Nice brookie, beautiful fish. Loved using my new 3wt.
