A friend has been hosting a fly fishing, food & firewater get together in early October at his beautiful home in western North Carolina for many years. 2020 was skipped due to Covid, making this year the 25th annual conclave. Heavy rains & high waters limited fishing opportunities but a great time was had by all.

Morning view from his deck.


Morning visitors. Rose-breasted Grosbeak & Chickadee.


Smokey Mountains trout water


A nice wild rainbow, perhaps a foot long.




I fished an Orvis Superfine 7-6 3wt and a Barclay 70p. Three of the seven anglers are glass geeks.










Our daily "salad" because you need those veggies.


Cheers to 25 more.

I'm sure the few fish you caught were all the more enjoyable given the conditions. Excellent salad choice as well..

Indeed, thanks for sharing! We usually hit Fontana Lake once a year, I need to set aside a day for fishing next time. Beautiful country.

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing a great trip. I'm glad you are all taking advantage of the health food. Salad is important.
