Getting ready to go

I leave tomorrow for Gatlinburg TN for a Gift Trade Show. As I did last year, I plan on staying a day or two after the show ends to do some hiking and fly fishing in the Smoky Mountains National Park. If you have ever been there before, you will know the place is huge! I have read there is about 2000 miles of fishable waters in and around the park. Wild rainbow, brown and brook trout. Brook trout are actually native to the area. Last year I didn't get to do as much fishing as I wanted, I didn't know the area well and got some bad advice on where to go hiking. This time however I know the area a little better, and I found this http://littleriveroutfitters.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=87. I found some good spots to go from the forum. Looks like the reports sound good as well. Hopefully I will have something to report when I return.
