Oops. Mean AR for Arkansas. AK is Alaska, of course. We'll keep AK, if

I'll keep Arkansas for myself. Mainly the North Fork and White Rivers.
Wonderful, Gigantic, Plentiful trout.

Phony baloney fisheries and a goddamn abomination is what they are.
They put those friggin' dams in and absolutely ruined miles upon
miles of some of the finest smallmouth streams on the whole planet.

Ken & RW,
I appreciate your opinions. Texas is a Hell Hole for a trout
fisherman. I am jealous everytime a think of RW and what he sees out
of his windows every morning he awakes.
You, Ken live somwhere up north of me 800 or 1000 miles and have the
beauty of lakes and freeflowing rivers. Try being me who looks out on
a sea of roofs and fight some of the worst traffic in the world. It
costs me a minimum of $1000 just to think about trout fishing anywhere
but Arkansas, and, that is a 500 mile drive to the quality trout. I am
sorry about the dams but it made one hell of a trout fishery. Sorry
about the smallmouth. There are still a ton of quality smallmouth
waters in AR. I look forward to fishing with you guys but, kiss my
butt.

I don't know if still is, but Austin's TU chapter used to be the largest in the
US (by something like triple the next largest chapter)....I guess it was the
stocking at Granbury that did it...OTOH, I think the Austin Angler went belly
up, so...???

Seriously, though, the Hill County, and really, much of the eastern half of
Texas, has some pretty damned good fishing, fly or otherwise, albeit no even
half-assed trout fishing (...and no, those stockers don't count...)

TC,

Richard,
I have some acreage in Kerrville and hope to build my final home there
in the next few years. I am doing the architecturals now. It is
beautiful in the Hill Country as far as beauty goes in Texas. It is
more of a state of mind we will be moving to. The Guadalupe is only an
hour away and has some good trout supported by the State, Austin
Anglers, and I believe TU. The local GRTU is the largest chapter is
the US. Go figure.
Alot of good warm water fly fishing in the Hill Country and the coast
is just 3 hours away.
