I learned to flyfish from my dad on the Madison River in Montana back in 1964. I was 8 years old. Everytime I drive past that spot, it puts a smile on my face.

I little retention pond in a retirement community on Anastasia Island, St. Augustine, FL when I was 16 or so... Started out fishing spiders and little poppers for bluegill. Moved up to bigger poppers and frogs for bass. Then to big flashy streamers for the tarpon and snook. Yes, all of those in the same retention pond! Gotta love Florida sometimes!

A little town called Kremmling, CO. Where the mosquitos can pick you up and carry you away. Deet just pisses them off, but the fishing is great!
Hey Lenny, How tough is it to get into Hot Creek? Deep Creek? Can you take 4-strokes into there? My boss has a place on the Lake and I've been itching to go.
