{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Overnight Brookie Trip Shenandoah

For what it's worth, I've spent probably 20-30 nights in the park hiking over the past few years and have only seen one bear.  I still hang a bag from a tree and many of these hikes were winter.  I may scare bears before I see them since I'm a pole hiker and tend to be with a few others talking.  I'd honestly like to see a few more...but from a distance!

Hi all, 

I've been a lurker here for a while and am wildly impressed by the vast base of knowledge in this community.  I have been planning on taking my dad out into the Shenandoah for an overnight brookie trip sometime late spring.  He has a questionable knee and doesn't really hike much.  I took a recon trip with a few friends a few weeks back to Big Run hoping to take him there.  I really liked it and the hike in was more than reasonable, but with the fire situation, I am not sure if the stream/environment will be in good shape later this spring (So sad).  I've spent a good amount of time taking day trip trouthikes to many of the different streams in the park but am looking for something a little more remote so we can leave tents/packs unattended without worry.  

Would love it if some of ya'll had a few suggestions!  I am thinking it would just be a one night trip where we hike in Saturday morning, find a campsite, hit the water, and then fish a bit in the morning before heading out.

Thanks in advance,

Gregg
