It seems like it has been forever since I have wet a line. Work obligations and family vacation as well as TVA's lovely generation schedule have kept me off the water. Was hoping to make it out today, but NOPE! TVA was running wide open all day long today. So much for a successful spawn this year.
On another note, just returned from a family vacation to the Caribbean. Didn't do any fishing there either, but the scenery was amazing. Trying to convince the wifely to go on a 3 or 4 day Bahamas bonefishing trip in the near future. We will see if I can sell her on it.... Also while in St. Maarten I picked up a new lens that I hope to post a review for in the near future. A couple of the St. Thomas pics were taken using the new lens.
Use the links below to see some of the scenery from the trip.

Fall Fishing Trip Results
Well, the results are in, and I have to admit that the winner was what I expected, but the results were surprising.
Ohio Steelhead - 0%
Cumberland River - 83%
White River - 0%
Western North Carolina - 17%
Now keep in mind that only 6 people voted, and the last 3 days there has been a problem with the blogger poll scripts. I had a couple emails from people informing me that they were unable to vote because of this.
I fully expected the Cumberland River to win since it is reasonably close by, and was recently featured in an edition of FlyFisherman Magazine. What is surprising is that nobody voted for the Northern Ohio steelhead trip nor the Arkansas White River trip. With the gas prices what they currently are, the Cumberland trip will be the second least expensive, second to a Western NC trip. So, it looks like sometime in October I will be making a 3 or 4-day trip to Wolf Creek Dam. I need to do some research into convenient campgrounds, river maps, fly selections, guide service (if recommended), and a few other things. I have read that a boat is almost necessary to access some of the better locations, so I may see if Scott can arrange for us to have a boat while there.
