can't believe that's mason...i remember him as a sleepy toddler carried by

traveling trout carnivale. that was a great trip, and good fishing memory.

next time, try the little river at elkmont...i've been in that area of
tennessee exactly as often as you, but i liked that stream in the park. as
in your area, in the smokies, the more remote stretches of water you can
find, the better the fishing will be as a general rule. the little river
sees a goodly number of folks, but it is easy to access and yielded a lot
of nice, strong fish when wolfgang, conan the libraryguy, and i fished it
a few years ago. *also, it sounds like you were near danl's southern
quarters not far from knoxville...he's as good a guide as you'll find in
that area. you should send him a note before your next visit.

Jeff, I've camped at Elkmont and waited until the mothers called their
children to supper. And right there in the campground, 10 0r 15 minutes
after the kids leave the water....I've had to use my net...

When I was camped there two years ago, I caught the biggest fish of
my trip not more than a medium cast's distance from my campsite. Wolf
was there to witness it (hell, I caught on his fly rod with a Pass
Lake on the end of the tippet), and supposedly he even got a picture
or two.

Jeff,

Thanks for the good wishes. Hope all is well in your little slice
of heaven.

I''m still around. I read ROFF almost daily, but haven't felt the
need to jump into the middle of beancounters, Richard's daily pursuit
of something/*any*thing he can find to complain about re Obama, Mike
Connor and his handpuppets, etc.

I haven't fished at all since my trip to Italy last year. The
drought has really hit the streams that I normally fish, and I can't
really justify stressing the fish anymore than they already are being
stressed. I hope to remedy my lack of fishing by hitting the GSMNP/
Elkmont in early May. The plan is to do another week roughing it just
like the last time I saw you. :-)

Carol's gallery is still going, but it's been hit hard by the
economy, too. She's considering closing when her lease is up in
August.

And yes, the Kinkster is running for governater as a Democrat. It
will be hilarious to see him go up against Rick "Hairboy" Perry. I
can't imagine a greater contrast between candidates. And I truly
believe that Kinky has a chance, given how fed up people are with
Perry (and the fact that Kinky is on a major party ticket should
help).
