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 real tempted by some of the areas around Meigs Falls and The
Sinks. There were some awfully pretty pools in there.

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.

Yikes. I haven't had the pleasure, but I expect I'd break my own
personal 100 yard dash time. :-o
