Going "Trout Bum"

I am excitedly counting the days until my week of starts on April 5th.  Taking a week off from work is nice.  What makes it even better is going fishing for the whole week!

Last year we went to Cherokee for a long weekend to fish but got stiffed on the reservation waters.  We immediately planned on going back this year for a longer time and during a different part of the week.  However, as time went by plans changed a lot and morphed into something completely different.  We are now going on a "trout safari" or as my wife would say "Being a bum for a week".  Taking time off work and traveling around Western North Carolina prospecting for fish.  What could be better?

So far the plan is to do a semi-loop of Western NC starting in Brevard on the Davidson River.  Then go to Dillsboro, fish the Tuckasegee River and possible some other waters in Jackson County.  A quick jog back to Wilson Creek for some more of that fun and a night at Mortimer Campground.  Ended with some time on Helton Creek in Ashe County.

I am collecting my gear and have some new items to try out this go around.  Can't wait!
