Dang gone JohnScott reports... :-)

Last time I was looking at one of his reports, I had the next day off.. the weather was calling for colder and windy... But after looking over his report and the snow and ice and cold I thought, so, if he can go so can I...
It was windy, the temp had dropped, no one else was fishing any where I saw... I was alone fishing...

Wound up fishing first up in the hills.. At a place that looked like this...

Now I'm reading his reports again today, and am off tomorrow, and theres a stretch of water I have been wanting to try for along time... Don't know if I will go, but I do enjoy his reports..... they almost always get me thinking... :-)

Very different spots...very different fish...all EXCELLENT! :D

Thanks FishnDave , that trip was fun, but not at first, after I hiked in to the first stream, it was cold and the wind was gusting, it took some adjusting to cast in between the gust, but I kept thinking if JohnScott can adjust I should at least stick with it and try.. I"m glad I did, once adjusted I did start catching some Brookies, then after that I hiked back out (and it was late), but decided to go to a low land stream where there was more room to cast, and just enjoy casting and being on the water. the first rainbow was a surprise! I was like dang look at this Brookies and rainbows in the same day...lol I was excited, the secound rainbow danced on the water 3 times for me! I was like, man ya just cant beat this and to think I wasnt gonna fish cause of the cold and wind... dang gone JohnScott reports...;-)

... but somebody has to do it. Glad you were up to it, Tim.

Good stuff, Tim. I imagine you parked at Fisher's Gap to get to the falls, otherwise it's a LONG LONG way from the bottom (on the other side of Skyline from you, no less). One of my favorite streams, and incidentally one where I've seen the most bears.

What a great outing. Nice brookies and rainbows to make the day. The wonderful scenery completes the picture. Very nice, and by the time you're back home, you don't remember the cold or the chills, they somehow seem to add warmth to the memory. Nice report.
