okieff,
IMHO it does not really matter where or what type of water I fish in as long I am out there doing it; that is what counts. I am fortunate to have many choices of types of water and species of fish to chase fairly close by. Fly fishing is a state of mind that allows us to get lost in our passion. We can forget about the daily stresses of life and truly enjoy the surroundings, the sounds, the wildlife and the camaraderie that comes with fly fishing. I love to get lost.
