I am planning a fishing trip to Kentucky. I was thinking about Rock
Creek in
the Stearns District of the Daniel Boone National Forest.
Anybody ever been? Got any advice? Better place to go?

I fished Rock Creek in October for an evening and the next morning.
Caught
and released 4 or 5 rainbows. It's a pretty creek, but also pretty
narrow.
You can drive along the gravel forest road that runs beside the creek
and scope
out nice pools, and maybe even (as I did) catch sight of a strange
figure
running away out of the corner of your eye. (Turned out to be a wild
turkey).
;-)

I am planning to make it a 3 day with 2 nights in a tent. Did you camp
nearby? If so any info on a camp ground would be appreciated. I was thinking
about Great Meadow Campground. ( the price is right =FREE ) or just finding
a spot (legally) in the National Forest. Also...... do you know if the Rock
Creek area is known for bears? I saw the warning on the National Forest web
site. Was just curious, it won't stop me either way. I have nothing but
respect for wildlife. ( now "man" on the other hand IS scary )
