Nay, lads, while I be piratical by nature I prefer the stalk and ambush of trout waters.

I've a new 3 wt TFO Finesse all rigged with a Waterworks-Lamson V1.5 and appropriate line. The nearest pool and pocket water is but a long salt cast from the back door.

Should I feel the need to brandish a larger rod, I've a 6 & an 8 all rigged to tackle those trophy rainbow and brown that live less than an hour from us in tailwaters and larger rivers.

This be more a homecoming to the high country for us both than being beached. If ye read your piratical lore, the inland waters were filled with cutthroats and those who fueled their morning with grog from tin cups and horns.

13 days and we set poles for the mountains of Tennessee!
