Windy, wet and woeful
 
full report to follow

Here is the report.   Left the house this AM with the sun shining.   Got 1/2 way up and decided to turn around because I forgot my rain coat.   Good choice!!!!
Stopped at Pineville to pick up some line to make leaders with because I was out 10lb.       Went down to my favorite spot and it was empty.  I worked that spot like you read about without even a trace.  When walking back I looked into  spot where a little pizz trickle comes in.    I saw a few fish milling around and went over to check them out.  I thought they were a few ho's or zombie kings.  There were no fewer than 6 browns milling around in there and one was a monster and he was beat up at that.  Tried floating a few flies by them. I could literally drop a fly on their heads.  No takes, left them in peace.  I guess they were in their resting.   Hit another spot and it was the same a few people here and there, but not even a sniff of a bite.   
Stopped off at the wall and fished there  for a hour or so.   Saw 2 fish on and they were way up.  
It was rainy, windy and the fish were just not ready to bite.  I am sure they were there, just not interested.  Too close to the water drop I guess.   Next weekend I will hit it again.
I probably should have went back up where I was yesterday, but just did not feel like the drive,  Listen to me complaining about a 40 minute drive.    
Bad news is my neck is really acting up and now my arm is feeling with pins and needles sometimes.  I have been fighting pain in the shoulder from the neck for a few years, but this is far worse,  move  the neck just right an a shot of electric down into the hand.  Going to give it another week or 2 and then off to the doc's to  get my options.  Probably start with a shot, but I have a feeling that surgery is in my near future.  Will try to wait until spring at least because I cannot be layed up over the winter with the snow removal, but time will tell.  I would be out of commission for 4 to 8 weeks

Good report Clint as always . I'm a Dr. of sorts lmao and from my experience. It sucks getting old. My hamstring hurts, my back hurts and who knows what else. Being a lazy heavy equipment operator forced to shovel and labor work ain't being kind.I am always active at home but its still not the same . Thankfully walking , in and on water , woods helps.
Get well , a zing from a chromer might help too.

Nice report Clint. ,  hope your are feeling better soon.

  Clint I go through the same thing at least once a year. I go to the chiropractor and get fixed if i went all the time i probably wouldnt have it reaccuring. You have to be a little trusting though when they are twisting your neck but it always relieves the pain.
  On another note I was hopeing to be up there today and tomorrow but on Saturday I had to get some stitches in my thump so I'm on the DL for a bit hopefully next week.

Getting older with all its aches and pains is still better than the alternative.
 Clint- hope it works out for the best.

If it gets too bad , Clint, if you hook a steel you can just hand the rod to me. I'll make the sacrifice.   Actually, I threw a prayer in with Lucky's.

PS
I got some sort of plate in my left shoulder a few years ago because it was supposed to make things better.
First surgery beside appendix when I was 10..
If this is better I often wonder what the non surgery might have been.
Now it is almost impossible for me to carry a gear pack up a mountain .
