Yeah, if BushCo steals the election again this time Canada sounds

I've already looked into Canada. Didn't score high enough. Didn't
speak French well enough and for some reason they seem to have enough
semi-skilled factory workers already. YMMV, in fact I'm sure it would.
I guess my only other option is to stock up on Kalishnikovs and banana
clips. At least they're legal now.

Hm.....you going to be carrying any of those this weekend?

I got your email and was going to respond the same way, but I got to
thinking that would be pretty gauche.

I won't be able to make it this time around. I'd completely forgotten about
the Avalanche event and made other plans. For what it's worth, I wouldn't
have been able to make it anyway.......what with jail and hospital visits.

on the bright side, there's kayaking and cooking indian. :)

many
people already. In the early 80s I could spend 4 days floating and never
see
another soul, but not any more.

So, what kind of natives *do* you catch in the Meadowlands?

/daytripper (wait - is one of them named "Hoffa"? ;-)

I didn't say it was in New Jersey - unfortunately I have to travel, but it's
worth it when I can get there.

Indian cooking is big around here, several restaurants over by the Intel
nerd farm.

That sounds yummy, but cannibalism has been illegal in my state ever
since Alferd Packer gave it such a bad name and screwed it up for everybody
else.

I would obviously say New Zealand, but that's not based on much as I've
never fished anywhere else.

Identifying "the best" is a tough call and individual. I am told by anglers
that travel a lot that if you want to catch numbers (I'm talking freshwater
here) then Alaska and Russia are the places to go.
If you want technical trout fishing, then go to the better US Streams. If
you want sight fishing with dry fly for trout in the 20" plus range... New
Zealand. For bonefish, while I've never so much as seen one apart from in a
photograph, I am assured that the Seychelles first, then Christmas Island.
Someone mentioned Cuba, if you can get there it's meant to be awesome.

I doubt I've been much help but who knows.....

vacation, where would you want to go?"

I answered immediately, "The Seychelles!"

Then I got to wondering if that is really the very best, since I have
never
been there or any really exotic fly fishing locals.. So fellow Roffians,
how
about your opinions on the absolute ultimate fly fishing destination -- IF
money was not a consideration, where would you go now with 9/11 and all?

If I could do away with the Russian MIL helicopter, and the Russian airlines,
I'd go to the Kola Peninsula or Kamchatka. Anywhere in Alaska would be my
"safe" choice, particularly the Alaska Sportsman's Lodge on the Kvichak River
(Lake Iliamna). Big silvers, chum, humpies, dolly vardens, grayling, and world
class Rainbows ( 30+ inches). And the bears, scenery, and hospitality at the
lodge are wonderful.
