Off the subject but... My wife and I are contemplating moving to NC. Maybe
around Wilson, as she is an antique dealer. Where does one find good fly
fishing in NC? Mind you I am from southern California and have not been
to NC yet.

Thanks!


i can't imagine any rational explanation for why someone would want to
live in wilson, nc, even if there were chippendale fittings at the local
mcdonalds. one thing's for sure--you would never have to buy a sauna. just
stand outside your front door from may through october for about 30 minutes,
between 11am and 6pm.

good fly fishing in the old north state starts in the foothills of the
blue ridge mountains, over two hundred miles west of wilson.

i would suggest asheville, boone, or greensboro, as possible homesites.
check out a map.

wayno (happy in greensboro)



Excellent advice that I will discuss with my wife! I'm a bit spoiled
here in SoCal, it's been like 75F and 20-40% humidity and I'm about 40
mins from Malibu (Baywatch) beach. We only picked on Wilson because we
saw actual affordable housing there. My wife is an antique dealer and
we understand there are lot's of stores there in/near Wilson. A 3 BR 2
BA condo goes for like $400K + here. We saw nice 3 br 2 ba houses on
Wilson for like $120K. Asheville sounds very awesome! We've been
talking about visiting there for years. Isn't Greensboro pretty close
to Wilson? Is it that much nicer? We were hoping for Mt. Airy
(Mayberry?) but never been Thanks for the info! Any specific
streams/lakes you like in NC?
