Chuck,
Thanks for the great advice,especially on the flies. I'd heard that
yellow was the color of choice for the region. Unfortunately, I've got
most of that type gear already, so I'll have to come up with a better
excuse to buy more gear. A buddy of mine in Asheville says he's had
great luck lately with a dry/dropper rig, but since he's just learning
how to fly fish, he doesn't know what to call the nymph he's been
using. I've sent him off on a mission...

Jeff,
I'll be getting there around the 7th and staying until the 14th, but as
far as where "there" is, I'm still a bit in the dark. Saw some posts
about camping at Rattler Ford, but don't know if there's a group rez or
what. Where's everyone staying? I'll be camping, weather permitting,
and can certainly find my way around the area, but I'm hoping to
rendezvous with folks over the weekend and at least get pointed in the
right direction. Rolling Stones sounds fun! See you when you get
there and I'll look forward to hearing from you in the meantime.
