Lack of Flyfishing

I love to flyfish and I'm going through withdrawals from not being
able to. I go to school in Flagstaff, AZ and there is no good
flyfishing areas nearby.
You gotta be ****ting me. I live in Flag when I'm not out of the US (like
now), and I'm DYING to get back there to fish. Oak Creek is stupendous: wade
along the river from the bottom of the switchbacks down to Slide Rock, as
well as the stretch below Sedona. Also, get a canoe (check out Donnie Dove
at Canyon REO, behind the Spaghetti Station on Santa Fe to rent one) and
float through Dead Horse in Cottonwood.. You can also arrange a tow-in to
just below Glen Canyon Dam with Western if you call their Page office, and
do an overnight float on the Colorado while fishing for the trophy rainbows
down there. (You'll need a permit.) There's fish in Mormon Lake, as well as
both Lake Marys, when their wet. The fish really bite when they are
draining them. Also, the San Juan fishery area in 4-corners is only a 6-7
hour drive. There's fishing on the Salt and the Verde. And don't forget the
big lakes.
If you're around this summer, we can fish. I'm planning to coming home for a
couple of weeks in July.
