You certainly fish in some lovely places. Most Europeans go green with
envy when they see such pictures.

This surprised me a bit. I guess the grass IS always greener.....

I see photos of the highlands in Scotland, the Swiss alps, the famous
chalk streams of England, the tundra in the Scandinavian countries, and I
think, "how exotic....how romantic.....how lucky they are!"

By the way, any of you European types who find yourselves on this side of
the pond between the last Saturday in April and the last day of September
may rest assured that you will have NO trouble finding willing (and
remarkably cheap) guides to all of the hotspots in the upper Great Lakes
region at least.

all that's really required is sufficient command of the english language to
order a round of beers.......not as easy as it may sound up in da yoop, eh?

The ancillary knowledge that you can more or less freely access these places
is a major point here. There are beautiful places here too, but it is
sometimes difficult or expensive to even get a look at them, never mind
actually fish there.

Mainland Europe is becoming ever more expensive and exclusive in regard to
good angling water, and this simply makes it more or less prohibitive for
many.

Scotland still seems a good bet, but by the time I got there, I would
already have spent a considerable amount of money. Much the same applies to
other "Destinations". Apart from which, I am not really a "destination
angler" anyway, I have always tried to make the best of local opportunities.
Admittedly, these are steadily decreasing. I had planned to move somewhere
with more attractive opportunities, but for various reasons it has not
proved to be very practical. I am still considering though.

The story is being replayed here, albeit we haven't traveled as far down
that road as yet. The American west is rapidly becoming a playground for
the rich......well, those parts that haven't already been co-opted by
various extractive industries at the taxpayers' expense......but that's a
whole 'nother rant.

Fortunately, the U.P. bids fair to avoid that fate, at least for the time
being........too many bugs.

Come on over sometime.

who, having spent much time there, knows dat da yoop is as local as it gets,
ainna?

...sharing photos is a big
part of what Frappr is all about. Feel free to post as many
pics as you wish....

Well, it looks like the Frappr beta still has a few issues to work out.
After looking at one of the batch of three photos I posted this evening, I
hit the "back" button on my browser and was told that the page had
expired.....try refreshing, it said. So I did.....twice. Now there are
three copies of the photo I was looking at.

It's easy enough to remove duplicate pictures but you've
somehow managed to make the roff Frappr risque again.

The ads started off Russian Women, dating services and
Jewish singles, then we got a string of ads for Motels
in Minot, North Dakota (kinda makes you wonder what Kevin
is up to out there ;-), but then you posted duplicate
waterfalls and we're back to dating Russian Jewish singles.

Anyway, the ads pay the freight I guess, so find yourself
a Russian Jewish single and get a room in Minot, North Dakota.

Hey, those girls were foreign exchange students, and nobody
was ever able to prove any different!

Really ? Look on the photos page, at the top just underneath

Displaying Photos 1-9 of 24

I see Ads by Google. Right now we're advertising Minot Hotels
again but I saw one for something called Urbana Oh too.

They're unobtrusive ads (in the beta version) and I do believe
they are completely independent of how many times Wolfgang
posts the same photo. ;-)

Cool. It won't accept "Helsinki", "Helsinki, Finland" or "Helsinki
(Finland)" (without the quotes, of course), so I'm out for the
moment. I did leave a request for a city, though.

I've been experimenting. You can go ahead and delete all traces of me
