Hi Warren, Butterfly and I are both recovered from the fish-in and the further debouchery at my brother's for the fourth. I enjoyed finally meeting you also. This sounds like a great trip you have coming up. I spent some time at a family reunion earlier this year talking to my cousin's son-in-law about trout and the Carolina side of the park where he fishes. Get your new rod built. It will be ideal for the kind of streams we talked about.
