I will be looking for those odd spots that I think you would head after.

The Smokies at the N.C. / Tenn border areas is quite pristine and remarkably a wow factor it its ability to be just as it was 300 years ago.
If you don't mind foot hiking for a few hours you can find real fly fishing. This is not a secret. The secret is in finding the guys who do it. They are few even on a nice weekend.
If I was the kind of guy who was amazed to be in such proximity to such beauty I would jump of at an area called Robinsonville. [or something sounding like it] It's up there in the hills and within 50 miles of where you would start exploring. There is a Natl'l Forest close by and many rangers close by to get you started.
Even if you're not a forest nut with the old growth and animals there is a local need to fish out the non-native trout from private lands.
There is no fee to fish privately from the owners they just want the Brown Trout out. There is a big gas station that will cater to flies and baits. I posted this info when the east coast pelicanheads had a 911 meet in 2006 at Dragon Tail. I meet Borrag there in Early Nov for the first time. That gas station is a silver dollar to find. It's worth searching out on the east side of the smokies.
If you want nice Dragon Trail type action without the tourist style crowds it's up and easily found up in the Robinsonville areas.
I have more info on another computer.
