Nathaniel has removed the trebles from several Rebel Teeny Wee-Crawfish and Tracdown Minnows and put a Daiichi Bleeding Bait bait style hook on the back of each. Only barbless single-hook lures may be used a Dry Run Creek, and those two lures armed with that style of hook have been his most productive baits on past trips. He also packed a steelhead net because he's landed one Dry Run fish that barely fit in his trout net and has seen a few that wouldn't have fit, had he gotten the chance to try!
Nathaniel is aware that his opportunities to fish Dry Run are numbered. It's a long ways from Georgia, so we only get out that way so often, and he's fast approaching the age where he won't be allowed to fish any more. Maybe we'll bring Asher then, and he can fish vicariously, like I do now!
