Fishing preferred, trout fishing not required. I've heard of Devil's Backbone and Paddy Creek. I didn't know that the Devil's Backbone ran along the North Fork. Is the Big Piney just a warmwater stream (just fine), or is it a trout stream like the Little Piney (even better!) I've heard some really good things about Paddy Creek, but its just a bit toofar for my school's backpacking club to go for on a weekend outing.

Are there any main trails that run along the river @ Devil's backbone? That sounds like a really good place if I can get some trout fishing in while hiking.

Thanks for the info.

ROL has a piece on it.

Link= Devils Backbone

I believe there's a NFS campground on the edge of it.

I am glad to hear that there are some, hopefully, more agents on the major canoeing waters. When I think of all the pollution that goes into those streams on a busy weekend.... and people actually swim in it. Seems to me there should be a law against there being more than a certain number of people per mile of stream.
