Hi all! A friend and I want to start planning a backcountry fly-fishing / hiking trip in the spring. We've got all the UL backpacking gear, but now putting together our fishing kits (Tenkara for sure!) and trying to figure out a destination.
We're based in central OH and looking for something that is driveable within 6-8 hours. For hiking trips, we usually head over to WV or VA (AT, Sods, etc), so I'm looking for ideas where we could tie up a few days of hiking and fly-fishing together. Looking for clear streams and few people, so would definitely appreciate any thoughts!
Thanks for the suggestions and Happy Holidays!

Greenbriar river also has many opportunities.

We are also adding the Smokeys to our list of options. Our preference is to find a location that has a bit of elevation as well as some good streams.
Other suggestions?
Thanks!!
