Played shuttle service in the foothills this weekend for the horse girls. I loaded up my shit and snuck off to do some cheesing of my own.

This shit of chasing tiger trout is more potent and addictive than any illicit drug or pussy I have stumbled across.
It's a maddening disease. I have spent the past few weeks obsessing with brown/brook only streams. There's a couple really close to home and I am going to hound them until one of these little nightmares gives up the tigger.
I told Spork that if I make it happen, Ima rent a fucking tigger suit and fish a blueline in it.
Fast forward to the present.
Headed up a new to me drainage that the overlays said had exclusive populations of browns and brooks and there ain't no barrier keeping em apart. Go out and multiply you slamos and Salfonts.

At this point, my balls start tingling.
Every fish I hook could be THE ONE :o
My heart rate increases, my blood, thick like toffee, losing it's viscosity and making my every move almost elastic like on the dodgy streambed. I'm chanting...tiger, tiger, tiger EL TIGRE! No dumbass, thats just all that rank Sanchez beer you drank p;-
My flyfishing has never been so possessed. My close friends know how OCD I get over a species, but this is war. I need this fish. My whole purpose on a blueline is to get just that one tiger and I shan't stop.

I spent quite some time marvelling at how pretty these guys are, but they just don't cut it.

Is this brookie racial profiling? I wonder if brookies who live mostly under rocks are akin to those assholes who riot. Hmmm...

Last one and I reluctantly turn around and start the arduous task of walking back to the truck to go pick the girls up in Taylorsville

From 2wt to 8wt. No problem, except the fucking water is 62F. Nobody is catching fish :'(
To make matters worse the Assholes at WRC decided to extend the season to today. Fuckers. There were hundreds of boats on the water. We taxi'ed for 45 minutes to get a slip.

That is one ugly fish.

These fish seem to be much more prevalent.  No longer happenstance, they now are as common as air and dirt.  I wonder if there are really more of them, or is there an increase in the number of anglers that fish the habitats where they might occur? 

The fish are not difficult to catch, seem to take any fly, lure, or bait.  One guy I know has caught enough for what he called a mess, a meal.

Corona bad. Modello better. Everything else looked pretty good Mikey.

Nice trip. Good luck on your quest. Is Bigfoot next on your list of creatures to find deep in the NC woods?

The NC bigfoot mystery has already been solved.  It was just Jfey walking around in the woods.

Ha, Chewbacca getting thrown under the short bus.
Damn damn damn.
Thanks y'all. Mudder's. I'm thinking that VA triggers can breed. Know why? There's something in y'alls water. Conway has em. I want this endeavor to happen right here in NC. Its a fair dinkum statement to say they're on the rise. More people fishing nowadays. Heck, AJhock has caught two. That's like being Robert Mugabe. Absolute bullshit!
