Much like picking somebody else's mate ... hard to do successfully

I dislike "a few days here, a day there, a few more someplace else" road
trips and find I far prefer stays in one locations of, bare minimum, a week,
sometimes a month isn't enough. This probably is because I did a lot of
the first style of blitz traveling/ fishing when younger.

So much depends on the kind of fishing you prefer. But, I'd find time,
early in the year, for some small, high country, streams that take a good
long walk to get to. To me, they represent the roots of the sport. Without
a background of time, alone or with very carefully chosen company, chasing
wild trout in wild places the "name waters" will never "make a 'real' fly
fisher outta ya" ... maybe they will do just the opposite ( I don't mean
'real' in a numbers and size of fish sense ).

And, believe me, the years zip by and the ability to take those long walks
dwindles, don't get old without a lot of them to remember.

Oh, where? ... that is a kind of Catch22 ... the exploring is a big part of
what you will find ... start with topos, find the big tracks of public land,
trails to year round water and go have a look see ... regardless of what you
catch it will be worth it.
