Last week I had to go to the hipster capital of Tennessee for year one of professional school related to the job. Had to arrive in Nashville by 1:00 Sunday (20th). Class started at 1:30 and lasted till 8:30  b'; The rest of the week we had class pretty much from 8-6 with shitty cafeteria food for lunch.

Now for the good. Lots of breweries popping up in the Music City. I sampled as many as I could.

My first Dale's Pale Ale
Wednesday night, I met a friend who lives in the city at a bar in the middle of the newest "hip" area. $2 craft drafts all night. Was crazy crowded and the bartender said most of the crafts were out due to a fight with the distributor  :-\

Nashville staple, hot chicken and a Little Harpeth Chicken Scratch pilsner. Best fried chicken I've ever had but has a good burn that creeps up on you. Beer was good but pilsner isn't my thing.

Hit up my local (2 hours away) fly shop. Bought some goods and got the scoop on a little river to hit on my way home for smalljaws.

Pulled up to the river and liked what I saw. Except for the local with 5 smalljaws on a stringer. One was huge  n!n

Not a smally.

Still not a smally. I spooked several. Pulled my popper away from a few and was out entirely too early to hit the good bite. I liked the water though.

Is that the Diawa reel? Back in action, huh?

Honeylocust. Bad mutha.

It is the Daiwa. No knob still. It's a good thing I suck at fishing and don't catch anything big enough to need to reel.
