July/beginning of August.

I plan on fishing in the CNP tomorrow...heh heh heh. Gotta love winter
fishing.

I fished the Bighorn twice. The first time was a number of years ago. I
didn't have a boat and wading access isn't the best.

Long story, but, I travel with three WaterMaster kickboats !! Several
times I've worked out "shuttle service" by loaning one to someone I met in
the campground then drifting and driving together.

Now that I think about it these boats will be "in the area" for your western
clave in June ... although I don't know where you might use then, I'd be
happy to loan them to you Willi ( I know one of the outfitters near West
Fork on the Madison rents out WaterMasters by the day so there must be
places they are useful)

I've only used mine on Hebgen and Yellowstone lakes in that area, although I
looked into shuttle on the lower HFork but always found "good enough" wade
access. That little fly shop in Ashton does shuttle down there and the guy
that runs it is very helpful.

Sounds like a good place to hang out, Bob. I don't know about it from a
fly
fishing point of view, but the Tellico is a very rich source of
archaeological information pertaining to the Indians of the Archaic
period.
The Tellico is host to 23 excavated sites, with ten of them clusters
around
the Blount/Monroe county area, and the Loudon/Blount Counties area, just
south of highway 411. It also includes the site of the one time Cherokee
capital, Chota. I'd keep my eye to the ground!! :-)

Wow. One more testimonial to the incredible breadth of expertise on ROFF.
If I make the trip I'm thinking about, most of my looking at the ground will
be with the intent of making sure I don't step on a rattlesnake or fall off
a cliff.
I have a couple of points and a partly finished pipe that my brother and I
found on our farm when I was young. It actually is very interesting - the
pipe is made of some kind of greenish-gray stone that I've never seen in NC.
The points are also interesting, but were much more common than pipes.

Cool. Growing up in the city I have never been so lucky as to find such
things. My daily ground scores included bottle caps, cigarette butts and
the occasional coin. Oh yea, and not infrequently a page from a playboy
magazine blown under a bush. I like your ground score better!

I'd like to see your points. I might could tell what period they came from,
as each period had distinctive points ranging from Clovis to Kirkland and
others. The pipe may very well be from another state,as there is evidence
that the Mississippian and Woodland period Indians traveled between states,
trading supplies. The points of course were utilitarian, therefore more
abundant, while the pipes were used ceremoniously and also served as
non-utilitarian artwork. Any design on the pipe would give clues as to when
it was made.
Really cool stuff to have! I'm envious!

did like that place and those folks.

BD, here is a link to the info at my site. I don't think Greg has one up

Possibly Minnesota pipe stone. Some of it is that colour. The
AmerInds (is that still PC? Certainly PC enough for ROFF) traded much
more extensively than most of our grade school and above educations
ever mentioned. I have read in our DNR information that pipe stone
went over great distances.
