Default The VERY best fly fishing destination?

My wife asked me, "if you couild go anywhere in the world for a fly

fishing
vacation, where would you want to go?"

I answered immediately, "The Seychelles!"

Then I got to wondering if that is really the very best, since I have

never
been there or any really exotic fly fishing locals.. So fellow Roffians,

how
about your opinions on the absolute ultimate fly fishing destination -- IF
money was not a consideration, where would you go now with 9/11 and all?

Chris,

I'd go to the Kola peninsula and fish for brown trout in an area that still
hasn't seen all that many fly fishermen (let alone people).
Since there's an abundance of places I wish to go I'd also ask the weather
gods for nice weather and while I'm at it don't forget plenty of insects
(preferrably other than mosquitoes).
If I can't go there I'd like to go to Patagonia or New Zeeland or Alaska or
Greenland or Iceland or Kamchatka or.................well, you get my
meaning.
