    Katie: " Try this - I must tell Jesus all of my troubles, I cannot bear these burdens alone, I must tell Jesus, He will deliver, Jesus will help me , Jesus alone". - I think that's the song you were singing

    You Pressley Girls sure are pretty. These fishin' trips will be such good remembrances when you get old. I remember all the times I went fishin' with my family. My momma went crazy when she'd catch a big bass. We used to laugh at her. Fishin' is such a great past-time to do.....God bless y'all. 🌿🌺🌿🌺🌿

    "I must tell Jesus all of my sorrows, I cannot bear these burdens alone. I must tell Jesus, I must tell Jesus! He ever loves and cares for His own!" I think this was the song you were trying to remember, Katie. Sung it in church many a time. There's more to it, I believe, but my old brain can't remember it! Loved being with y'all fishing! Reminded me of all the times daddy would take us all fishing for a day! One sister hated to put a worm on her hook, but it never bothered me and I'd aggravate her so bad sticking em in her face just to hear her holler! Til daddy told me I was scaring the fish! He & mama fished, and he taught us 3 girls and our brother to fish! Our brother & his son still carry on the tradition! Our son learned to fish at 4 yrs old with his pawpaw (my dad) and I treasure those pictures!! Praying Granny is feeling well & God bless all y'all from VA! 🙏🐟🪶🪱🐚💗

    Millipedes primarily eat dead plant material. Where you saw those, there were dead fern leaves, so they were possibly munching on that. They play a big part in helping the forest to decompose materials.

    The metal stake with the loop up top, if all along the incline, might have been for a rope that has since deteriorated or was removed. Several steep banks in our region have ropes to help hikers climb and descend more safely.

    I love fly fishing Fires Creek when I'm up to my cabin in Hiawassee, GA... I live in Maine in the summers and Gainesville, FL the rest of the year... but my wife and I bought our cabin 5 years ago in north Georgia and love spending as much time as we can in the Appalachians... I'm leaving Maine in a couple weeks and will be stopping by the cabin on the way to Florida... my parents grew up in southern West Virginia and I used to love going there on holidays... so your videos speaking of life in the Appalachians reminds me of their upbringing in West Virginia.

    Folks , this video is for sure a multi-watch masterpiece . All of it features the beauty of all the multitude of greens in the forest , the little creatures like the millipede , the crystal waters and colorful stones, and the lichen and moss covered riverbank to name a few . Corie , thanks for the Bible verse from your Bible study book . I paused the video to add to my notes in cell phone . Matt, what was your belt knife today ? A Bushlore by chance ? I truly love a catch and cook and today was so fine with streamside fried trout and pork and beans and coconut pie . Katie, I see by your belt gear that you have the attitude that demands that you and your family be left alone to mind your own business . Both thumbs up to you , Ma'am ! My hat is off to the whole family for a great video vacation . Prayers always for Ms. Granny .

    I really enjoyed watching y’all having a fun day on the river. Fishing is one of my favorite things to do. I like to fly-fish, though I’m not very good. Since I’ve not been well, I can’t get out on the water, so I watching the family was so much fun, it brought tears to me. There’s so much beautiful water in the Blue Ridge. There’s a river in Madison County, Va called the Rose. It’s one of the only rivers where you can find Unakite from my understanding .
    Thank you for sharing your day with us!

  • @mikeg2939
    @mikeg2939 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I heard a pro freshwater match fisherman on radio saying that before he touches any bait or any tackle that's going in the water he would always grab some silt from the river bed and wash his hands with it. His theory was that we have oils on our hands that get transferred to the bait and the fish can taste it. Some people have oils that the fish just don't like and hands get contaminated with all sorts of other things that could also put them off. Perhaps that's why Katie caught something if she'd been picking rocks out of the water.

    Katie...have you tried using Wheatie balls as bait...you can catch some whoppers...mix water and wheaties to a kind of dough, form balls and let the dry in the sun. You need to let them dry so they stay on the hook. Good luck!
