Friday couldn't have come sooner, had a 3 day lapse from chucking flies and I was about to lose it, so I set out to meet up with Petey for the weekend. As usual, work screwed with my master plan and I was delayed by a few hours. Sooner than later, I found myself driving through the bottom of Virginia.

Good thing I had two head lamps, they definitley came into use walking out through dodgy corn fields laced with tons of electric fences at 10PM.

The next day we met up with our bud and we were righteous wise asses. Went up a blueline and found high water temps, low flow. Dismal, hope them poor VA brooks make it thru summer.

Petey was kind enough to tie me up some of his prototype Tequeely streamers. Boosted God knows how many on just this one fly.

After the Tequeely was officially done, I tried one of Petey's modified helgramites and this fatty boom boom whacked the shit outta it 8)

Holy shit, no wonder Petey's relatives all have foot and mouth disease. The damn bacteria must be going haywire! I peed while I was wading and I couldn't feel it as it was going down my leg, so yeah, it's gotto be pretty warm :embarassed:

Looks like a good time.

One of his room mates is a car mechanic (grease monkey), so he decided to make the living room his workshop.
redhorse? I see a fall fish, which is not a trash fish, neither is a redhorse...
Go figure. Thanks for the correct fish ID. Ever since I was a kid we'd always called them redhorses. I see now that I was really catching fallfish.
This shit rocked..That is my kind of fishing right there..
The trout will be there in the fall..This is bass time..Get it while you can.. 'c; 'c; 'c;
Where's the chicken and watermelon? :P
Good stuff Tranny. Makes me want to head out. Think I will in the morning.
