What started out as a "wouldn't it be awesome if" discussion over lunch one day is about to become a reality: my friend Bill and I are going to spend two weeks this summer on a fly fishing road trip across America. We're going to start in Salt Lake City, Utah on 27 July and end up in Raleigh, North Carolina on 11 August. Along the way, we'll travel nearly 2500 miles and fish as many different streams as our schedule allows. We're calling it Fly Rods Across America 2008.
We're still in the planning stages, but we have tentatively planned to fish the following water, some of which is famous and some of which is lesser known nationally (but still very highly regarded by the locals who would be more than happy to keep the knowledge of these streams to themselves):
Green River below Flaming Gorge (Utah)
Upper Provo River (Utah)
Middle Provo River (Utah)
Lower Provo River (Utah)
Diamond Fork River (Utah)
Boulder Mountain (Utah)
San Juan River (New Mexico)
South Platte River (Colorado)
Arkansas River (Colorado)
White River (Arkansas)
South Holston (Tennessee)
Watauga River (Tennessee)
Boone's Fork (North Carolina)
We'll likely add a couple more streams as we get closer to nailing down our exact schedule.
Our plan is to create a web site documenting our journey complete with maps, daily photos and podcasts, stream conditions, and details about our fly selection and gear choices.
More to come.
