@HawkeyeSmallie We have “wild” rainbows and browns that reproduce naturally but they are not native. They were the ones stocked back in the railroad days of the late 1800s. Then we have sterile (triploid) stocked trout of modern day that maybe 1 in 1000 reproduce. The native southern Appalachian brook trout are ancient and have been threatened but are still kicking high in the mountains .

Eh, my mom taught me right from wrong and I’ve still done plenty wrong when I knew better

My wife thinks they are, I think they are stockers haha. Both exist where we were

I bet nobody guessed the southern border of TN was the coldest place in the contiguous United States on Tuesday. It was 3 degrees with windchills as low as -20. 7.5 inches of snow

Danny jones be fumbling

Push button ignition, auto head lights, LED anything, TPMS, rear hatchback/liftgate that open with a button instead of a door handle

@MN Fisher, my wife saw the aurora last night too. I don’t get out of bed for it anymore, only cameras or camera phones can see it

Congrats!

Did a trout trip up in the mtns with my wife and a friend yesterday, think we got 8-9 rainbows. It was pretty with some leftover snow from Monday. The 3 that I caught were with 3 different rods/reels . 2 on flies (one rubber legs, one egg pattern) and one with a helgrammite in-line spinner

Went in the snow yesterday but I think it was above freezing by the time we got way up in the mtns . There were icicles, but it was warm in waders and the trout were biting

Got a nice smallie down there the other day

For $1.50/hour you’d really expect a hologram autograph on there……

actual footage of me winterizing my boat

I totally forgot. The coldest I’ve been is always when it’s like 36 degrees and pouring rain. I’ll take snow or wind over that any day. That cold heavy rain is terrible. We refer to it as “Knoxville snow”

Good to have ya back @BassSteve!!!

We had some good flurries today , all sideways
