Newb Intro - East side specials

[Transylwader]

Greetings earthlings.
I reside in the capital of NC and try every moment of the day to foil my bosses (Kinda like that twit Lumbergh) plans to keep me at work. No, I am not a trout bro, nor is fly fishing my life. It's just a really neat pasttime I can turn to when I need to get away from it all.

Here's some stuff from round Appalachia







Appalachia sure is a timeless place. Everything about it is unique. Oldest this oldest that. The story about the brookies quest for survival is quite something. I won't bore you with it, but I'll chuck in some dink *






I love all fishes








But these have always been a pipe dream up until last year...

Looking forward to another trip in a month!
Thanks for looking

Whoa that was good!

Wow! Beautiful pics! You know, for a newb and all. Seriously tho, love em. I am most envious of the gar and redfish. In that order. Gar are, in my opinion, one of the coolest looking fish around. Though I love brookies too (see pic -->).

Welcome aboard. Looking forward to more posts and pics.

Let me quess, the 1st few pics were the upper reaches of Nantahala River. My uncle lived in Franklin. In the late '60s I went down for a visit (from Pittsburgh) & he drove me along the river. The next day he dropped me off at the bottom & I hitchhiked up to the top, 2nd car picked me up, guy says "you're not from around here". I hiked back down to the bottom taking pictures along the way, beautiful area. When my father retired he moved to Chambersburg PA (next to Gettsburg) 5 minutes from Falling Springs creek, a lovely limestone creek. When I would visit I'd fly in & out of DC, while flying home 1 time I struck up a conversation with an elderly gentleman, he said he got up at 2AM to make the flight, he lived in Franklin NC - I told him my uncle's name & he said "Alan walks with a cane now, what happened" - Small World especially around Franklin.

Welcome

Reading the back story, I have a feeling that the Wandering Airstream will be parked along some of those waters in a short while. Both posts were epic. Welcome aboard.

I love to see the brookies in their native habitat. They were the first trout I caught on a fly rod. Welcome to the forum.
