Pacemaker Fishing Forum

Or much more work.

Taking advantage of a beautiful June day. My wife and I drove up to sky line drive.

and then we hiked down through the blooming rhododendrons




and down through the hardwoods

1300 foot drop in 1.5 miles
we make it to our stream




and the reward

Sinikka's first wild brook trout
]

I was very proud of her. This is not easy fishing. There is a lot of climbing and scrambling. Very little room to back cast and small windows to put a fly.
Stream was very clear and cold, fish were spooky.
It is so peaceful and beautiful there, the hours flew by
and then it was time for the hike back up
