It's considered bad form (by some) to be so explicit about fishing spots
on ROFF. Don't be surprised if some Deep Creek North Cakalakians give
you a hard time. :-)

It's not like Deep Creek is some big secret. While maybe not as
nationally known as the Au Sable, Madison, and Henry's Fork, you can
still park your car next to it and walk up a well maintained forest
service road. It's not a secret in the park. And it does offer some
good fishing. However if Mr. hardy sends everyone to Deep Creek, then
that gives me the rest of the Smoky's come May 13th

As it turns out, you won't have any competition from me. :-( Long
story short: Due to health reasons I am having to cancel my trip.

Longer story: I'm just coming back from what was likely a case of
pneumonia, but was misdiagnosed as nothing more than COPD from all my
years of smoking. It took me two weeks to even get the doc to give me
antibiotics, and two tries before he got the right kind/dosage.

After seeing me flat on my back, unable to do simple chores without
gasping for breath, SWMBO isn't about to let me go traipsing around in
the mountains until she's sure that I'm 100% recovered. (I'm probably
90% there, but still a bit weak.)

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. :-)

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

Joe the Elder suggest--a small piece of medium hot sausage should get you a
carp!!!!

To hell with fishing. Italy! Mangia!

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

Chuck,

Enjoy Umbria and Tuscany. My daughter spent 4-5 months in Florence.
Managed to get around quite a bit. This area is not known for Trout,
but things like Marinella, Rubinacci and Battistoni, and wine!
Enjoy my friend.
Sorry about the pnemonia, I would not miss that diagnosis!
I charge dry flies for my patients.
LOL
Nice day

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.

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