You and she might feel differently after spending a winter in

Like you say, different strokes. I always prefer to fish new places,
and I
seldom travel far to where I've already fished, unless it's on the on
the way
to somewhere new. We're very different in that regard, as you seem
to return to the same places every year.

One thing that really appeals to me about salt water
fly fishing is the novelty of it -- new species, new scenery, new
cultures.

I'm posting this from my motel room in The Muck (Winnemucca), on the
way to Idaho.
Not a lot of exotic culture here, but there's an excellent Mexican
restaurant
I always visit -- las Margaritas.
