    Thought I’d share a little town I know…

    A place where time stands still

    And fashion is not a statment

    A place where home really is a home

    Where some are kings

    And others don’t care

    Where some things are just for show

    And others are for just in-case…

    Where rush hour lasts 30 seconds

    And work is something you love

    Where some times the journey is half the adventure

    Where people are passionate about life

    Where there is life, even a “Here After”

    It has a Main St

    And library

    Even a museum

    But you know that when you leave, you will return…

    And then there is the fishing…

    Thanks Zack, that is the town of Rhodes, the centre of the Wild Trout Associations water… although those photos are not fishing photos per say, it is the ambiance of the village that does it for me. And considering that there are 350km’s of fishable streams within an hours drive…

    It constantly reinforces the notion that fishing is not about just the fishing.

    Did any one Google Earth the CoOrdinates???

    And yes, fishing is very seldom about the fish…

    Yes…I did Google Earth the coordinates.

    How many fly shops/outfitters can that location sustain!

    Yes…I did Google Earth the coordinates.

    How many fly shops/outfitters can that location sustain!  At least 8 (if not more) outfitters came up on Google Earth.

    I find that an amazing amount considering the location.

    What gives?

    Hi Seafood

    Please would you post a screen shot??
