So, without giving away any secrets, what areas of the Little do you
prefer?


I've had good days just as it goes into the park but I prefer going
upstream, as far above the visitor's center as my fat ass can get. Since the
road follows it for a ways, it's not that hard to do. The East Prong is the
more *famous* stretch but the the other prongs can provide some decent
activity as well as a better workout and quicker thinning of the crowds. I
was fishing a great caddis hatch one day on one of them when I had my only
wild bear sighting. I never knew I could move so fast and so quiet in waders
on an Appalachian stream when those cubs decided they wanted to share the
pool with me.
