Took the family up to do some hiking today, ran the dogs around and wore them out...
Pulled off near Noontootla Creek Falls after hiking Long Branch Falls on the AT.
Pulled out my Douglas 3 wt. with an Abel reel that was a Christmas gift from the family, and tossed some stimulators into the crystal clear water...first time I'd used it and enjoyed casting it...
I was wet wading, and caught a few nice rainbows and had some little brookies try like all get out to hit the yellow stimmy but they were just too small and quick to get ahold of it...
Unfortunately I left my phone in the Jeep because I forgot it as I was rigging up...
Not a bad day, maybe cast for an hour and landed several 8" or so...
Had one nice 12" in a bend in the creek feeding, but he would not hit anything I threw at him...watched him for a while and then moved on upstream and he shot under a log...
It was a beautiful day out there...
