oldfart,

Not knowing how long you plan on staying and fishing on the East coast, but, have you checked how much it will cost you to just rent the fishing gear you will need to fish from one of the local outfitters or fly shops? Most fly shops that offer guided trips also offer rental on waders and fly rods by the day. If it is going to be an extended stay fishing trip, this may not be an option.

Just some thoughts or ideas.......
