hilarious, and a pretty good start for a decent country song...

Do I even want to know? Well, I suppose. What _is_ livermush?

well, since you asked.......

however, the best part seems to be missing from the recipe
(uh, that would be the head meat...........)

snake- yum

Uh, I think I'd like it. After all, I do like haggis (the ones I've
tried I've liked, I'm sure there are some I wouldn't). I'd probably
prefer oatmeal to cornmeal. Head meat? Iffy. Iffy.

It must have something to do with differences between peoples' feet, cause
I have been wearing my Freestones since before you and I hit Upper Creek
together that day, and I have never had any problems hikin' or fishin'
with them. As a matter of fact, I never take them off.

I have always had a problem with shoes that had vinyl uppers, guess it's a
good thing we have other choices eh?

My hardwood floor have had to be replaced several times, but the studs have
held up just fine. Of course, livin' in a 10 x10 work trailer, it's

Dunno about that Op, the price of plywood these days and all.

By chance have you ever listened to the Blue Collar Comedy group or Larry
the Cable Guy in particular?

Oh, you thought I was purchasin' the wood? No, no, I procure the wood.

I've seen one of their videos, but I'm a bit more partial to the fella that
walks around with the drink and a cig in hand. I think his name is 'Tater
and he has a boy named 'Tater Tot.

That sounds perfect to me. My favorite fishing down this way is when
I'm hiking and hitting likely-looking spots as I go.

So I'd probably be OK with a handful of para Adams and Royal Wulffs?
In my short time ff'ing for trout, those have been my most productive
flies.

for the most part, and for the best fishing, the hiking will be in and
along the stream...not on a trail beside the stream... those flies will
work well, but take some ehc also.


felt soles...forget the aquastealths. but, if you choose to use the
aquastealths, will you allow me to acquire a bit of life insurance on
your life?


Yikes, that bad, huh? So do you find that studs actually get in the
way, even if you are wearing studded felts?

i don't like studded shoes in nc streams. too much dry rock face
jumping, climbing, etc...studs make it more difficult. stick with felts.


wet wade...but, it's always nice to have waders along when you want to
stay dry or bumpass down a ridge bank.


So it would be worth my while to make room for them in my luggage?


i'd take them along just in case. i prefer wet wading. feels freer,
cleaner, simpler. but, when you want to be dry, well, the waders are
nice to have.



where is the place located?


I haven't booked one yet, but wherever I stay I'm going to have a
kitchen. I've been looking into a couple on Big Snowbird, and I'm
guessing that one of them might be the place you mentioned during a
previous clave. I've also found one near Panther Creek (highway 28
between R'ville and Bryson City), one that's in the Stecoah Valley (also
supposed to be on 28), one on West Buffalo Creek, and a few that just
say they're in the Robbinsville area.

snowbird and buffalo are on the south side of lake santeetlah and
robbinsville...about a 15-20 minute drive to robbinsville, 40-45 minutes
to bryson city, which is northwest of robbinsville and on the east edge
of fontana lake. depending on the streams you intend to focus on, your
location will have some importance as far as convenience and travel
time. stecoah is midway between robbinsville and bryson city, and the
home of tootie's. i'll let wayno introduce the program on tootie's,
though it's a bit more cosmopolitan nowadays than his stories will
represent. you'll have to drive 30 minutes for most streams if you stay
in stecoah.




Er ... yes? :-) I know Cade's Cove, Mt. Mitchell and the Biltmore.
I don't recall the Tail-of-the Dragon ... is that the one where all the
biker clubs congregate on the weekends?

it's a road that runs from the northwest corner of santeetlah west to
calderwood and into tennessee, frequented by bikers because of its
twist-turny, death-enticing nature.


Thanks very much for such an in-depth response. This had more useful
info than I've found in hours of reading and web-surfing.

happy to help any way i can. let me know if you have any other questions.

great boots, you will be happy with them


I can see how wading with the studs inserted would be fine, and how
fishing from a boat with the studs removed would be fine, but how is
wading on rocky streambeds without the studs? It appears that a good
part of the surface area of the sole is taken up by those little
plastic(?) cleat bases:

That can't be good.


no problems...in nc or montana or wisconsin or michigan anyway.

You've probably forgotten, but the guy who extended his hand to you,
climbin' up and over many of them big 'ol rocks on the stretch of Uppers to
the Falls, was wearin' studded boots!
