As the hoards converge on my favorite tailwaters, I am forced elsewhere before I go postal on some tourist! So here are some pics from the past month. Not to mention I have a new found carp addiction…

Got a day off to head to the S. Holston and watch the sulfur factory belch bugs till the little orange bastards covered the river like your favorite blanky. There can be situations where there are too many bugs but I liken it to having too many testicles. People may point in horror at the sheer numbers, but you’d rather have three nuts then have none. Enjoy the pics by my buddy Steve.

A Whole new Fishey Game
24 Jul
Hitting the Southern West Virginia waters in search of Monster Carp through the weekend. Raul has converted the John Boat into a Premier Flats boat to help hunt for the elusive beasts. Hopefully we will have plenty of shots at tailing fish.
Urban Dictionary’s definition of the word carp….1 of the 40 different definitions of the word carp.
A Trashy Heavyset or Thick woman. Often found lurking in bars; near or around closing time, usually very easy to pick up, but can also become very angry or violent when in groups. DO NOT APPROACH IF THEY ARE SWIMMING IN PACKS. They like to eat lots of bar grub, tend to be chain Smokers and consumers of cheap beer.
Dude did you take that Carp home last night, she was dirty.
Yeah Man, but she was the only thing left at closing time.

Friday is Picture day Silly Rabbits: Trips left Unpublished
23 Jul
07/23/2010: Seems like every day I get time to hit some water a summer thunderstorm showed up and pissed on my parade for local loitering at the watering hole. Mitch and I did make it up to the Elk river about a week ago but neither of us were smart enough to bring a simple digital camera so we broke out a small underwater video camera. I just haven’t sat down and cut anything to show anyone. I would say the fishing was great but what else would anyone expect when 2 expert fly casters like ourselves set foot on a stream full of fish.
What I’m going to attempt here has never been done before……I’m going to give you my little version of someone elses trip. One of many trips that haven’t been posted on and that I have only seen pictures of. So here goes.
Once upon a time there was a young man, probably mexican, named Ryan, we will call him Raul. Raul was planning a trip the next morning to his favorite Tennessee river. There Raul sat, naked in his basement, sitting indian style in front of his self-made fish god shrine that he prays to daily. How else could 1 person have that much luck with so little skill on the trout stream? It can only be the work of the devil. There Raul sat speaking in tongues, pouring hot wax on himself, drinking the blood of a virgin female goat in order to call upon the fish god once again.
As you can see below his new water exploration did not disappoint.
