The good news is that she knows how much I was looking forward to the
trip, so she planned a trip for us later this year. Not to the Smokies,
but to Italy (?!). We'll be heading to Tuscany and Umbria, and they have
trout there too. :-)

Mmmmmm.....truchas a la Parrilla!

So, does anyone know what flies I should be tying for the Nera River in
September? :-)

To hell with fishing. Italy! Mangia!

Hey, *she's* the one who brought up trout fishing in Italia. I
wouldn't want to let her down. :-) From what I've read, the Nera has
had big sections of "no-kill" waters (sorry, Tim) since the early 70's,
and they grow some big browns there.

But yes ... the food and wine will be the focus of our stay there.

just don't come back with any wild crap about "authentic" italian food,
o.k.?

Heh, heh. Not to worry. I'm sure Richard knows more about that
than even Italians do.
