Fall Fly Fishing on the Watauga River (TN)

A TRUE STORY:


Fog’s on the water, spiderwebs with dew,
carolina blue skies with a fall attitude.
Ol’ Leroy brown trout was hiding near the bank.
Mr. Wiz saw him last week and made a deposit in the memory bank.

Next time out he knew just what to do, slap on a frenchie and a soft tackle too.
Leroy ate when the time came to eat,
and the Wiz was sure to tell his client,
“KEEP THE LINE AWAY FROM YOUR FEET.”

With beginners in the boat the Wiz had to talk fast,
there was a rapid coming that we all call last chance.
It was too late and the chase had begun.
The Wiz kicked the boat in gear and yelled “ROD. TIP. UP!”

Down the rapid, between the trees,
they made it through
to the other guide’s disbelief.
Three cheers for the Wiz and Leroy Brown,
and the client in the front who couldn’t believe,
THAT just went down.

Anchor down, eddied out, net is out,
“okay let’s get this guy in the boat.”
Here comes Ol’ Leroy,
the star of the show.
He knows everybody loves him
and just wants to get a photo.

One jump, two jump, three jumps.
One rapid, ledge ledge ledge.
Second rapid, two trees, ledge ledge.
An epic tug of war that lasted 15 minutes
This is what we do,
This is our business.
