We forgot to mention that there needed to be a river within 10 miles of
the
shop, too. I can't imagine a fly shop of any quality at all being in LA,
since anyone who places a high priority on the flyfishing life sure
wouldn't
want to put down roots in LA.


Serious about flyfishing or not, I can't imagine putting down roots in LA,
but to each his---or her---own. You might be surprised, though, at the
number of wild trout streams within a very short drive of the Hollywood
sign. Browns and 'bows, some of respectable size. Stretch that drive to an
hour-and-a-half, and you're looking at native trout in a very remote
location. Sorry, but if I was any more specific in a public forum I'd get a
midnight visit from an LA flyfishing club's death squad :-(

Cheers,
Bill
