With all the fishing I have been parttaking in over the past year, it was only time before I got bitched out by the missus, well, if you know me, I don't take well to instructions or threats kindly, so at 4AM I bailed into the dark and arrived in Transylwader Country bright and early. Evasive action is a good thing, especially when it's 4 hours away.

LoginMy boy Zane and I met up and we jetted back up to the Parkway to tae a stab at a drainage that should never be fished solo. Glad I had a fishing partner. Too bad he forgot a bunch of his shit, like wading boots, sun glasses and a rod, so he really was hampered...except for the rod. I carry a quiver of arrows at all times 8)

LoginWading in sandals has to rate as one of the most risky things I have seen up a rough blueline. He came a cropper several times, but I spared the cameras battery for the amazing scenery instead of a drowned rat shot!

LoginThe gates of hell are perfectly positioned a little ways up from the trib with the bigger less nasty blueline, and I see now why this place doesn't see action if any. I likes it alot!
We caught alot of small fish but one or two that were picture worthy, like this guy...

So finally, The Dude & Buck showed up and I was eager to get some decent fishing under my belt, since i had to be home early to kiss some arse, we jetted straight up to the Parkway and into the briar filled slopes of Transylwader Country's sister.

LoginVery buggy up at 5200ft. We caught em all on dries, although there was a point where the fish refused offers on top and we thought of taking them out with trolling rigs. This time of the year, I chose to mug myself. There is nothing better than seeing those buggers eat off the top -0- Winter is on it's way, so I can use that shitty nymph rig then...
