Dick and Spinner - thanks for the linkies - should be helpful :thumbs:

I'm okay with non-pristine waters, the wadable parts of the Fox sound good, and I love smallmouth on fly rods. I'm okay with winter fishing too.

Gerry, I haven't even accepted the job or moved yet, but assuming I do, I may try to get some of those contacts from you. Nice to hear there is a TU outfit and fly fishing store nearby. That gives me some hope
