I need some trip advice (on-topic)
 

Howdy,

It looks like SWMBO will be taking the SWMBO'ettes on a high-school
and college graduation trip in early June. The exact dates are not set,
but it looks like I'll have a week to myself to head out on a
fly-fishing excursion.

I've been thinking of either returning to the Yellowstone area to
spend some more time getting to know the smaller rivers/streams around
there. I'm also considering North Carolina, possibly the Snowbird Creek
area. I am giving some consideration to the Yosemite area around
Tuolumne (sp?) Meadows, just because I was struck by its beauty when
SWMBO and I drove through there a couple of years ago (but I've yet to
find a lot of info on what to expect in the way of fishing there).

I'm more interested in scenery/beauty than monster trout, but I'd
like to at least give myself a chance to catch a few decent fish in the
process. I also want areas where I can hike and wade rather than
needing a boat to get to decent water. And if possible, I'd like to
fish mostly dries.

So, given those conditions, what would be your choice for an early
June ff'ing destination in the U.S.?

Well, Penns Creek during the clave in that time frame would be my choice.

Not the best time for the Rockies. Most years everything except
tailwaters and spring creeks will be running high and muddy. If you're
set on that time frame, I'd recommend someplace other than the Rockies.

That's usually still runoff season out west. If it's between
Yellowstone and Graham County, North Carolina choose the latter.

Better bring two bottles of scotch, Scott.

And a fire hose.

And lock up Willi.

Not to worry, Scott. As can be seen from the above, it IS ordinarily
extremely dangerous to have two or more librarians attending the same
event. However, I plan to be there and I have, through many years of
gradually increasing exposure, evolved a capacity to absorb a
staggering amount of bookishness with only minimal damage to my liver
and kidneys. While a certain amount of bruising can always be
expected from carelessly tossed marginalia, bibliographic shards,
fragments of indexes (as opposed to the much more benign indices), and
the occasional accidental misquote, none but the very old (or, the
"overdue" as they say in the trade) or the very young are likely to
check out.

First week of June is prime on the Rapid in Maine. See LaCourse for

Amen. Big brookies and land locks salmon are hungry in June, best month to
fish the Rapid. Scenery is beautiful, river is absolutely beautiful, and you
can hike your heart out on the Carry Road. If you are there for the
Hendrickson hatch, you will never forget it.

How are the skeeters in June?
