Asheville Info, Por Favor

First off, thanks to those who suggested places for a pre-spawn vacation.
The Planning Committee decided on the Grove Park Inn (suggested, I believe,
by the estimable Mr. Fortenberry -- thanks). We're leaving the 31st of May
and staying for 4 or 5 days.

Now the important part:

Looking for some local info -- fishing primarily, but also dinner places and
shopping ideas.

I'll be able to fish two or three days and am willing to drive/hike a bit if
that helps. Not looking for anything too remote (for this trip, anyway), but
would like to keep two-legged interaction to a minimum whilst I pick my fly
out of the trees. (keeps the embarrassment level to a minimum)

Gear suggestions? I'd imagine my short 3wt would be ideal here. (?) Likely
bugs?

Thanks,
Dan
