A group of us are heading down to the Cumberland this Thursday and will be staying at Helm's Landing through the weekend. From what I understand, we will put in at Helm's and paddle upriver first towards the dam and then drift back down the river ending up at Winfrey's Ferry.

Most of the time we will be doing regular fishing but I want to try some Fly Fishing as well (wading).

I should add that I don't know a thing about fly fishing aside from the notion that it has always appealed to me so I have decided to finally give it a try.

That said, I would greatly appreciate any advice as to which flies would be good to use this week as well as any other "fly fishing" tips that anyone would care to offer.

Thanks,

Dave
