Wilson Creek, NC trout fishing

We loaded the Yukon a couple of weeks ago to take Kyle and his friend, Jordan, trout fishing in Wilson Creek near Mortimer, NC. The fishing was pretty good. Each of them caught 10-12 trout ranging in size from 8-14". It is a catch and release stream this time of year so no fish dinner tonight. Oh, the snow was from the December snow and the temps that day were in the upper 30's. They had gone fishing the previous weekend when the temps were in the mid teens and had such a good time, I took them back. This time, their net didn't freeze when they pulled it out of the water and the tips of their rods didn't ice over.

I decided that while they were fishing, I could get a little rest but instead, I did a little hiking and wandering around taking a few photos with Bonnie's Canon G9. (Her point and shoot "mom camera" as she calls it) It does a pretty good job for something you can put in your pocket. Anyway, here are a few photos from our fishing trip. The bottom photo is the old Mortimer Mill.
