It's been a WHILE since I've been out anywhere close to a full day. I let my plans be known a week ago that I was goin fishin.....then it rained 47 inches in two days. No worries. I wasn't going to let a little high water get in my way. I've been wanting to check out some local bluelines, so that's what I did. They were blown the fuck up, but I found a couple that were still somewhat fishable, and I will be going back many, many more times. I love the scenery around here...always had a thing for barns.

LoginI caught a fair amount of fish, and lost way more than I'm comfortable admitting(including a surprisingly large brookie), but these little fuckers are slippery. I guess I need a net. Had a hell of a time getting to the camera before they were long gone.

Hell yes!
Is that a Gerber LMF? If so how you like it? I've heard good things about it.
What is the make of your fly rod? I've never seen a hook keeper like that or I've just never paid much attention.
Well, I guess you don't ned me to repsond to your text! Bloody marvelous mate! Madison is definitley the jewel of Appalachia. I'll send you a short list of badass bluelines. Sweet arse reportage! 'c;
Dales and summer sausage? Makes me wish it were June...
barns are alright, but cabins really get me going.

Hell to the CAPITAL Yes!!! That shit is awesome.
Big J---the knife is alright but it weighs about 20 pounds. It's great for chopping!!......but I'm pretty sure a hatchet would be lighter and smaller.
That rod is a scott, streamside custom. I've had it for a while, but i'm just getting around to fishing it since i broke my 4wt.
Nice report. Been wanting to head one county up and fish up there myself. Just been doing some armchair exploring for a future foray up in those parts.
Glad to see that rod getting a workout again. That Sage has seen a fair share of smallies, and even a few steelhead.
nicely done, like the pics and TR.. way to make the most of it...
Beautiful photographs. It is hard to beat catching bows and brook trout in the same day.
Nice. That be givin me a serious trout jones.. bd;0
Awsome bullship.
How far from your new homestead is the nearest stream?
Something about a county named Madison...
Excellent work. bd;0

It's a sweet little rod. I can't believe it took me this long to actually string it up. It will get its fair share of playing time this spring and summer.

These were all within a 1/2 hour(I checked out 4). There are two green lines closer(like, just down the hill). They both get too warm to support trout for very long, so I'll likely bring home some dinner in April. Other than that though, they're dirty, on the road, and just don't seem to hold many fish of any kind. I'm thinking we should do a blueline and/or smallie bake here at some point.
Nice post. Nice reel and you are right Madison has some good damn water! Kayaking and Trout fish'n - Good Shit!
