bob - i'm bringing my bay boat as an experiment. if the lake is high
enough, i'm hoping to check out chambers and forney where they enter the
lake - i've never been there. a hike up hazel is a definite plan... we
also need to do that snowbird thing. but, as rachel will be along, i
won't be overnighting.

noland is easy access and has a good trail - similar to the one along
hazel. i've been about 3 miles up it. i caught small rainbows when i
fished it. i also caught a hornets' nest... g i liked the hike. though
easy to access because of the paved road and parking lot, i only saw one
other person fishing in the lower stretch. i've heard some of the big fish
move up from the lake and ramble about in the lower stretches in the
fall...


If you can take an extra rider, and are planning such voyages between
October 10 - 16, count me in. My wish list includes Eagle, Chambers, Hazel,
Snowbird, Santeetlah, Nantahala (good when you absolutely, positively HAVE
to catch a fish), Kimsey Creek, and Buck Creek.

I know it's true that fish move from the lake into the streams in the fall.
Just a matter of getting there fustest with the mostest. Or something like
that.

//snip// not a good idea. heavily fished, and not that good water in
the first
place.

better that you go up ...... creek, or hike a little ways up eagle to
eeklaneetee.

Understood. I'd like to see the old copper mines up on Eagle too.

at the risk of appearing to be maudlin, i would love to take a slow trip
up eagle and fish eeklaneetlee. we (me and pj and darris) have often talked
of taking a day hike up that far. but the thought of doing without whisky
or vodka for more than twelve hours is a monumental task.

perhaps we can arrange for suitable ...logistics...

//snip// would expect to be high water. snakiest lookin' place i've ever
seen. but
i haven't actually seen a snake in three trips. :)


Slip-slidin' down a bank into the upper Nantahala (above Nantahala Lake) I
grabbed at a limb to break my slide. It was sort of soft and moved when I
grabbed it. Neither the snake nor I ever knew exactly what the other looked
like.

I'm in. It was touch and go for a while there......Becky and her brother
had me talked into going to Montreal instead.....big city
lights.....restaurants......foreign culture.....Culture.......what the
hell,
thinks I, I've always wanted to see France. But then there's the passport
thingy and financing, etc. So it looks like Graham county after
all.......foreign culture......Culture........

I went to Canada a few months ago - surprising how easy it was to get into
BC and how hard it was to get back into WA. Got bawled out by a border guard
for not having my passport, and of course SWMBO had to go into a long
explanation of how I lost it on the plane and so on, the detail of which
explanation the constabulary did not appreciate as much as SWMBO did. A
royal PITA.

How can you ask for more culture than Graham county? You got the marvelous
language, the Norfolk Southern trestle at Almond, well-stocked grocery
stores, and Snyder's Store.

Just ask for a pied a terre in Robbinsville that you can use for a menage a
deux and see what happens!
