Hey Tarpon4me. I was just thinking of one of my favorite spots out there. This may be a little drive for you but have you ever thought of fishing the Hiawasee River???
I made several trips out to NC during the 90s. Always drove by the river while going from Chatanooga TN to Murphy NC. I finally stopped one day with a fly rod in hand and nailed me a nice 11lb rainbow.
Since I had no where to store it on a business trip, I let the little guy go. There are lots of Rainbows and Browns in that area from what the locals had told me. I didn't believe them untill I finally pulled one out.
I'm sure it would be worth the drive if you wanted to check it out.[cool]
