all things equal...and they aren't...i say yellowstone. it's a no
brainer for me. i love snowbird, but given the choice, for a fishing
trip i'd choose yellowstone every time. if however, you come this way,
let us know and we'll make sure you sample a number of the better spots
the smokies offer.

Howdy,

It looks like SWMBO will be taking the SWMBO'ettes on a high-school
and college graduation trip in early June. The exact dates are not set,
but it looks like I'll have a week to myself to head out on a
fly-fishing excursion.

I've been thinking of either returning to the Yellowstone area to
spend some more time getting to know the smaller rivers/streams around
there. I'm also considering North Carolina, possibly the Snowbird Creek
area. I am giving some consideration to the Yosemite area around
Tuolumne (sp?) Meadows, just because I was struck by its beauty when
SWMBO and I drove through there a couple of years ago (but I've yet to
find a lot of info on what to expect in the way of fishing there).

I'm more interested in scenery/beauty than monster trout, but I'd
like to at least give myself a chance to catch a few decent fish in the
process. I also want areas where I can hike and wade rather than
needing a boat to get to decent water. And if possible, I'd like to
fish mostly dries.

So, given those conditions, what would be your choice for an early
June ff'ing destination in the U.S.?
