I leave today for Knoxville, then Asheville on Thusday, Morganton and Boone
on Friday, back to Asheville on Saturday, back to Boone on Monday, etc.,
returning to Memphis on Wednesday.

I want to thank everyone who contributed information and opinion regarding
good fishing opportunities in the area.

It looks like I'll be doing a guided trip with my brother-in-law on the
Nolichcky (small mouth), Wautaga (trout) or French Broad (trout) on
Thursday. On Friday I will be meeting up with Wally to fish a stream near
the Blue Ridge Parkway that he is fond of; and on Saturday, if I have time,
I will fish the delayed harvest water on the North Mills River.

If this doesn't sate my flyfishing thirst I don't know what will.

I'll let you know how I did.

Thanks to Wayno for letting me in on a jewel of a stream that may take me
years for to get to- but it's filed away.

Talk at you soon.

Memphis Jim

swmbo update: The doctors is strongly considering fellowships in Portland,
Oregon. A left coast relocation may be in the cards.
