I'd do my best to leave 9/11 out of the equation.

Good point. And I'd try to leave 'all' behind, too.

I think answers are more useful about places the writer has been to.
I've heard of lots of places, but most of them, when I got there,
weren't what I'd expected.

My favourites are

Some of the small mountain streams in Corsica
The river Wylie, in Wiltshire
The Finn, in Donegal

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?

I'm thinking of moving ot Victoria or thereabouts. Good fishing, maby
not the best in the world, but not bad.

Yeah, if BushCo steals the election again this time Canada sounds
like a good option for me too. And Ireland, I've always been fond
of Ireland.

Well, if I could take the money that a trip to the Seychelles would
cost and instead use it as a grubstake to live off, I'd take 4 months
off work and plop myself alongside of a little trout river for the
entire time. Watch the seasons and the bugs move through their
respective cycles. Catch fish. Eat some of them. Sleep. And then sleep
some more. Watch the sun set/night fall over the same horizon 120 days
in a row. Get on familiar terms with the local flying squirrels,
porkies and garter snakes.


g.c.

Did I mention sleep?
