Looks like I'm likely to be going to Phoenix, Az *area on a fairly
regular basis over the next few years.

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.

There's a Cabela's in Phoenix and a Bass Pro in Mesa; those are your
best bet. Lots of smallish local fishing shops in Phoenix, but they
will specialize in bass and catfish gear; I'd be surprised if their
supply of FF gear is larger than a coke machine, and if they have any
high quality waders (bass and catfish live in warm water).

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?

I don't know that I'd call Evil Ken Twin #1 a roffian anymore. He's
been AWOL for quite awhile.

I confess I had absolutely no idea of who you were talking about till
I read down the thread s couple more posts.

Which demonstrates quite clearly how the funniest joke in the world
can be met with cool uncomprehending stares.....till the punchline is
delivered.

giles
ya ever hear the one about what kind of engineer god must be based on
an analysis of human anatomy?

I didn't, but found him on FB. Interesting!
My work is no longer about what I know (began with a MSc Engineering
Physics), but instead whom I know. This probably being true for many
more reading this newsgroup. The sad fact about climbing the so called
"value chain" is that one becomes more and more detached from what
initially was what one wanted work with (and probably was interested
in). That and the fact that free time is becoming more and more
scarce.
This said, if I just could find more business associates that indulge
in fly-fishing all would be well ;-)
