As kids, we called them periwinkles.

Lots of rainbows (or maybe steelhead parr) plus two cutties who won their freedom before I could get photos. West side of the Washington Cascades, a new spot

I’m primarily a bamboo fly rod guy BUT this is possibly the best all-weather, all conditions blue lining fly rod that I’ve ever built.

CTS Quartz 7’0” 3 weight
Titanium guides
Custom rattan wrapped cork grip
Snake Brand reel seat with Alaskan white cedar insert.

If you’ve never cast one of these you owe it to yourself to try it.
Extremely lightweight, very fast action, blindfolded you’d think you were casting graphite.

Just some little cutties, apparently there are some bulls in the pools

Great day chasing wild fish way up into a tributary in the Smokies. Some beautiful Southern strain Brook Trout, a funky Rainbow and a nice Brown on the day.

Got another but it was so small it slipped through the net. Beautiful morning.

No luck catching Brookies but did get a Rosyside Dace. Middle Rapidan. Gorgeous waters!

Took a stroll after work to see some sights and catch some little ones.
