Anybody have a recommendation for someplace to fish for a few
hours on a Friday in June near Asheville ?

I would start with the wild section of the Davidson which is some 20
miles or so from the Asheville airport. There are several hatchery
supported (delayed harvest) rivers near Asheville, the only ones I have
any familiarity with are the South Toe and Pidgeon. The south toe had
some feeder creeks that fed into that offered some very nice native
brookies. There was also a TU project on a stream in Waynesville NC
which is fairly close. I vaguely remember a Mills river or some such
too.

There was a great flyshop in Asheville called Hunterbanks. Before a
certain fly shop opened in Morganton, I used to consider it the best
shop in the Southeast. They will be probably be very helpful.
