Pretty green North Carolina river with overhanging trees, but I didn't
catch anything.

... Fantastic scenery, 3-5 lb trout on #14 and smaller dry flies and 12
foot #5 leader material! For you non fly fishers, that's a 20+ inch fish
on a barbless hook about 1/4" long and a hair thin, easily broken
leader. This is not B.A.S.S. fishing. It's a long hike between fish and
they spook easily so you only get a couple of casts over each. This picture
was taken in early December in a spot reachable only by helicopter or an
overnight hike.

(600x450: 104k) ... Beautiful river and
cooperative trout. This 4 pound brown trout wasn't the biggest fish I caught
on a recent trip, but it was one of the most memorable because of the location
and the challenge of catching the fish that was feeding on the surface
in the shallow water over the narrow ledge that runs back under the overhanging
willows on the right. I hope he's back there gorging himself right now.
The water right behind me just off the ledge is about six feet deep.
