Hi Richard,
Great article. That's my kind of fishing, sans nettle, of course. In Bulgaria this summer I duplicated that experience on their streams. BG has nettle all over the place, and my legs found it in the most innocent pockets of high grass and clover. I feel your pain, so to speak.

Sir have you been roaming around my back yard?...lol All of your story, and pics, look and sound like my fishing trips here in VA... I would like to know where that stream is you was on, I know it could be in the middle of no where USA but those waters do look very much like ours here......
And thank you for the fishin trip..
"Because by the Grace of God I can, be on a beautiful mountain stream with a friend , have the water boil from a 12" Native Brookie taking a self tyed dry,and feel it on the end of my cane... It don't get no better than that..."
Parnelli - Glad you enjoyed the photos. I usually spend a good part of my time with waterproof Pentax digital camera in hand on fishing trips. Help yourself to the photos and I have many more of the areawhich you're welcome to. Send me a PM with e-mail address and I'll be happy to forward any number of them to you.
Grubb - Astute observation of the surroundings being similar to yours. In fact, they are south on 81 from you to Buchanan and then a few detours and about 25-30 miles and you're there still in Virginny. Unfortunately, haven't fished there in a while cause the last DGIF electro-shocking turned up nary a trout a couple of years ago. They hesitate to assign a cause(s) but I'm of the opinion that it has a lot to do with two legged predators!
Bill-Those nettle stinging places on the legs and one hand continued to plague me for quite some time after that outing. Nothing seemed to eliminate the ouch except time.
