I travel a lot for my job. Usually to a place with a high criminal atmosphere, a lack of scenic attraction, and more times than not, in the middle of the night. But today was different. They had me take a rental car and drive for miles and miles on backroads along the New River to see job locations that I will have to go to in the future.

It was hard to keep my mind on the job. I was taken in by the beauty of the river and thinking about the thousands of big smallmouth in it. I was wishing I was in my kayak fishing for them instead of driving by. Still it was an enjoyable day at work for a change.

That sure does look like great smallmouth water.  Nothing like catching those smallmouth in water with current. Good photos, Big Ed. :congrats:

We fished the new river back in scouts. Stayed at a camp somewhere down that way. Reminded me of the susquehanna here at home. Nice pics

Nice looking area, Ed.   See any coyote sign?

Very cool :eyebrow:
Are those two ripple spots small dams or rocks?

Semp, Didn't see any coyote sign. Just deer tracks everywhere.

Jim, Those are just rocks. There was a dam upstream from there but I didn't go past it. There were several sets of big rapids in the river that looked like they might be tough to navigate. It's a big river. I was way up on top of a mountain when I took those pics.

Ed your making me jealous.  We only have one river down here and on most days you can step across it and hardly get the soles of your boots damp.
When they come for mine they better bring theirs

Beautiful country to gaze upon.  Glad you will be able to shuck the rat race Ed, and spend some time in a more scenic area.  Enjoy the moments!
