Looks like I'm likely to be going to Phoenix, Az *area on a fairly

Are there places near-by for trout fly fishing? * warm water?

I would like to add another question: Anyone know of a good fly
fishing shop in Phoenix?
I'm going there on a business trip in 4 weeks time, and thought I'd
buy an extra pair of Simms waders.

I saw this as I was looking around .... I have zero experience with
the place and Tempe is a Phoenix suburb, I believe ... where *ASU is
located

Good find! Roger, where in Phoenix will you be? Is a pretty spread-out
city, and this shop is in Tempe (pronounced tem-PEE for when you tell
the cabbie), which is SE of the airport and city center.

If you want to find a good supply of outdoor gear for a good price
(tents, etc), then the Bass Pro shop is only a couple of km further
east from the Tempe fly shop. Mesa is the next neighborhood east of
Tempe.

Well, I plan on staying an extra day and having a look around. I'm
meeting with a couple of guys that work for Intel, where exactly
remains to be seen.

You do know that another ROFFian is a rather senior engineer for
Intel?

There is a Cabela bass in Phoenix and a Pro in Mesa, that is your best choice. A large number of short local fishermen's stores in Phoenix, but they will focus on the bass and catfish gear, I would be surprised if they are greater than the supply of gear for a Coke machine, FF, and if they have any high-quality waders (Bass and catfish in the warm water of life).

Roger, if I remember correctly, you're a pretty big guy.... well, not
pretty, really..... just a big guy. d;o) You might e-mail these folks
and see if they have your size in a wader (if you know it). They
probably have a limited inventory of waders, so to be sure they have
your size in Simms, an e-mail and perhaps a small deposit may help.

Good luck.

Good idea, I think I will do just that. Thanks Dave!
