Thank you Rick, Grechen and John.
Not sure what we'll do yet. I like the idea, of course, of bigger fish at the San Juan, but concerned about the "crowd" in mid September having never been there. I've always wanted to go to the Smokey Mountains and will eventually get there one way or the other. I'll print this and save it for places to try once I get there someday.
John, the areas and description you mentioned is what I would like to do. For me there's two parts to Fly Fishing that are equal catching fish and the experience and this area you describe sounds really nice.
I think we're still on for the San Juan and just hope it's not like opening day at Roaring River! That would ruin it for me, well not really but less is more when it comes to people!!!
Thanks all,
Chuck
