I still have such great memories of that place though. Since they used to have designated trout seasons in NC, the official start of the season was March 1. My parents always wondered why my GPA plummeted in spring semester. I finally told them after I graduated that after March 1, if it was nice out, I wouldn't go to afternoon classes for a month.
I hated building anything in the mountains and wouldn’t have done it if not for fly fishing. Finish work and spend the last few hours before dark on the river. It made it worth all the bad subs and workers. Mostly.
