Heading to Rim

Well we had a good time.  In the cottage.  Wednesday was fog and rain all day, finally quit around 4:00.  Walked the dogs down to the ramp and saw a boat coming in.  A guide and two sports.  They said they had been out all day in the rain since 6:30.  Caught two browns and three rainbows if they were telling me the truth.  Thursday it was cold and WINDY.  White capping in front of the place in the morning.  Way too windy to fish a jig at all and just too windy to enjoy fishing especially alone.  So the cover never came off the boat while we were at the river.  Did not see one boat or one fisherman anywhere on the river Thursday.  Which I think confirms the wisdom of the decision to leave the cover on the boat.

We did eat well.  The first night pizza and wings from Nima's - the new owners are hanging in there if you ask me.  Thursday we went into Mountain Home and had lunch and a beer at Rapp's Barren Brewery.   Top shelf food - a short rib/portabella mushroom swiss burger and a really good - and big - chopped salad with their housemade honey mustard vinagrette.  The dressing really had a big musard bite!  Definitely liked the beer too.  I do not like bitter beer and they had several ales to choose from.  I had their 1810 cream ale.  Lovey had a salted caramel brown ale.  Just a hint of the salted caramel - it was still definitely beer, not candy. 

After lunch, Lovey wanted to see Buffalo City so we did.  She was impressed with the scenery and the "quiet people" on the way down the hill to Riley's.  I think she's going to have some quiet people here fairly soon.

Sorry Eric.  Next time Amigo.

John, here are your pictures.  I believe they document the trip nicely.  We needed to be out, we were and we had a good time.  When the weather is better, I'll be back.  It really is a favorite place of mine/

              Thanks Rick,

   There is always more than just fishing. Nothing wrong with that. Good eats and good drinks are a must in relax mode.

After seeing the picture of your boat, I think I passed you yesterday morning around 8:30 at the Rim Shoals Road stop sign. I was towing my Blazer jet rig headed for the ramp.

Yes we did.  I remember seeing that rig as we were turning on to the Buford cutoff, right before we cut off that pesky Buford.

tough weather, but as in almost all things I suspect, you made the most of it. Hopefully, I'll see you the next time you are down.

It's not that hard to make the most of a trip to Rim, weather notwithstanding. Lovey and I are both comfortable there and so are the dogs.  We were the only people there so especially easy to deal with the dogs.  There have been tougher times for sure.😉 

I know you are not a drinker but if you have not eaten at Rapp's, you should give it a try.  It's outstanding.

Maybe AFTER Hedi's
