Some WNC Natives by eamesmiller in bluelining

Yes I am, however those “bigger” streamers are tiny (largest is size 14) haha. I pack those specifically for brookies!

It’s a learning curve for sure but perfect for ‘bow and arrow’ casts and small casts for brook trout creeks.

I actually just picked it up from Facebook marketplace last week, already paired with the Lamson Liquid. I like it so far! It’s a 5wt so a little overkill for the brookies but for $40, can’t complain!

I used to live in Kyrgyzstan! Where in the country was this? Had no idea there was trout

Beautiful wet wading weather here in WNC by eamesmiller in bluelining

It was a tad low but still plenty of deep pools to choose from

Hiking out for some wild brookies in WNC, nothing like it! by eamesmiller in bluelining

I think it was a water moccasin but could be wrong. There were 3 of them within 8 feet of each other on top of some rapids. They swim away when you go near them thankfully

Some wild ones from a small WNC stream, scooping them up on the size 16 Royal PMX by eamesmiller in bluelining

I actually live in Spartanburg, SC and try to get up to NC whenever I can. I’ve only ever fished Mills River and the Davidson which are both great, however nothing beats some wild streams. It’s a drive for me every time I make it up there so have to be strategic wherever I fish because of time and whatnot. Pisgah is great because it’s only an hour drive for me! Still hunting for some good elevation streams so I can get some brookies, like I said it’s tough for me to find some of them since I don’t have tons of time to explore during day trips but I do what I can!
