Are you intending to limit yourself to trout fishing or are you
interested in other fishing, as well?



I'm not limited to trout, per se.

But I am looking to spend my time in places I like. The environment I
think of when people speak of "the flats" and "mangrove swamps" isn't a
favorite of mine. they are OK for short periods, but not where I'd want to
retire.

Perhaps I misunderstood - I took you to mean that you were looking for
other areas to fish/visit rather than retire, but ???

Indeed, to my mind, the biggest drawback to the Pennsylvania summer idea can
be summed up in one word

..... humidity

Man, if think Penn in May-June is humid, you are REALLY limited as to
where you can/will go...come to New Orleans in about mid-August - a
steambath at the bottom of swimming pool while being firehosed is less
humid...OTOH, I suppose, during that same time, offshore (in the Gulf)
or even on the beach along the Gulf Coast) isn't bad at all most days.
