i like the movement, the
change, seeing what's around the bend, finding and fishing new waters...


it should be noted that my past job made a traveler out of me, like it or
not, and for years most of my fishing was of the "a few hours here, a few
there" style ......
my list of "been there" waters is fairly impressive compared to many anglers
I meet, if not up to the standards of real destination collector traveling
anglers

I still enjoy "new" but I have a lot of that in my background and have
reached an age where it's become obvious that if I'm to achieve a real
degree of "adopted home water intimacy" I better do it now ... since it, by
definition, requires time to blossom. Life doesn't provide enough time for
everything and, to me, "not moving to a new spot" is ... ah ..new !!

My next few years will probably include a week+ trip to "new" sandwiched
into my months long visits at the favored, comfortable places, that like my
wife of 30 years still surprise me more often than you'd think. I've never
been to the Big Horn, for instance ... it seems every time I head that
direction I get to wonderful places ( Yellowstone ) several hundred miles
sooner and start thinking "why go farther" .... I've done this at least
three times, set out for the Big Horn and gotten short stopped.


I have fished the LeTort, but I would like to try some of the other Eastern
waters ... but it will never happen .. I can't make it east enough to get to
the Big Horn, or some Wyoming and Colorado waters on my "wish list" G
