Tassy land is a wonderful land for flyfishing - including
the much under appreciated rivers...

The rivers are relatively untouched from what I've seen...

Why is that?

I think the main reason is that lake fishing is sensational,
and easier. Access to a good many streams is difficult with
natural physical barriers (bush, terrain) and some man-made
ones like the use of some streams as hydro channels.

Sounds like a challenge......um, how far is that from Milwaukee?

About as far as a person can get.

g.c.

Nothing personal, I'm sure.

Holy ****, farther than Bevent?!

Well, when ALL of ROFF moves there, I'll take it personally. Till then, I'm
willing to shrug it off as coincidence.

River fisheries tend to be lowland affairs where streamside
modification have taken place ... i.e. farming.

Casting my "scrabbling through the bush for a fish" eye over
some waters leads me to believe there are unexploited opportunities
there. The easiest (best? only?!) way to access them seems to be
from a lake walking up the guts of the stream. The bush is _that_
thick...did I mention the leeches yet? On the upside, untrammelled
places with untramelled scenery. On the downside, these streams may
only hold any sizeable fish during the spawn when they are closed to
fishing.

Distance from Milwaukee? Three plane rides and a 1.5 hour 4WD
(preferable) jaunt should about do it. You could be into a lowland fish
in less than 24 hours assuming you make it past the beagles at Hobart
International. A remote highland stream? Just about as far as you care
to take a hike.
