ROFFians,

My plans for a trip to Graham County this June are taking shape.

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give, serious or not. :-)

First and foremost you should remember that Graham County is a
dry county. [shudder] I get the heebie jeebies just thinking
about it.

I don't think Forney is worth the hike, in fact the only *must
fish* stream in the Park is Hazel in my opinion. One not on your
list that fishes pretty well at that time is the Slickrock on the
NC-Tenn. border. Nice browns in there but it's a hike and a half.
And don't forget Santeetlah, they stock it but it's a gorgeous
place to fish.

Like Charlie said, waders are not necessary, just good wading
boots. Fly selection isn't all that critical, something gray,
something yellow, something orange and a handful of Royal Wulffs
should do.

As for pests none that you mentioned are worth worrying about
as much as the killer rhodos and the dry county.

I recommend at least one dinner at the Fryemont Inn in Bryson
City. It's a cool old place and the dinner is good and cheap.
