Sure, for those times when you just have a little time to fish. But you will find your self heading north more and more. I lived in bear for nine years and ended up doing just that, and heading to central Pa. Where I live now. Just don't fish it in the summer I did once and the trout I pulled in felt like a 12" piece of wood, never did it again. Look up a group called the whiteclayflyfishers great group of people and their meetings are held right next to the stream, they also have tying nights which are very well attended.
