I love to flyfish and I'm going through withdrawals from not being
able to. I go to school in Flagstaff, AZ and there is no good
flyfishing areas nearby.

Death Valley are [sic] just a short walk away. If you start now. . . Mid-August
is Badwater Golden Trout season.

You gotta be ****ting me. I live in Flag when I'm not out of the US (like
now), and I'm DYING to get back there to fish. Oak Creek is stupendous: wade
along the river from the bottom of the switchbacks down to Slide Rock, as
well as the stretch below Sedona. Also, get a canoe (check out Donnie Dove
at Canyon REO, behind the Spaghetti Station on Santa Fe to rent one) and
float through Dead Horse in Cottonwood.. You can also arrange a tow-in to
just below Glen Canyon Dam with Western if you call their Page office, and
do an overnight float on the Colorado while fishing for the trophy rainbows
down there. (You'll need a permit.) There's fish in Mormon Lake, as well as
both Lake Marys, when their wet. The fish <really> bite when they are
draining them. Also, the San Juan fishery area in 4-corners is only a 6-7
hour drive. There's fishing on the Salt and the Verde. And don't forget the
big lakes.

If you're around this summer, we can fish. I'm planning to coming home for a
couple of weeks in July.

By George, I think he's got it. ;-)

Either CS112 is pulling yer leg, or has his/her head somewhere dark and scary
that keeps him/her from seeing what's around. Because the post is from Google
rather than NAU, I'm guessing the former.

Except I think that CS112 is the name of the intro computer science class at
NAU. I suspect that this guy was surfing on a public access terminal instead
of doing his homework and came across roff. He's probably a freshman or
soph, living in the dorms, no wheels, and a bad fishing jones going on. I
agree with the dark and scary part: last I head there was a foot of snow in
Flag.

If that's true, I would highly recommend he/she consider an English course at
the soonest possible convenience. How High Schools crank 'em out without a clue
is beyond me.

As it has been explained to me, the Milwaukee Public Schools system
maintains a policy whereby no child may be failed and forced to repeat
a grade without the consent of the child's parents. This policy goes
by the supremely ironic name of "No Child Left Behind". :)
