Louisiana is ranked higher than Colorado!!! :roll: All credit that list might have had just went out the door with the dishwater. :shock:
CO Flyfisher, how close are you to Estes Park? I fished the upper Big Thompson a couple years ago and loved it. Am coming out again in mid-May to visit the stepdaughter in Denver and plan to hit it again. How is the runoff progressing this year?
The fish in Idaho are so well educated at foiling fly flingers, that you might as well head for Nebraska or Saskatchewan, or just stay home. They're in there, but you just can't catch em'.;)
Idaho is good. Utah, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado & Oregon are all good states too. But, the best state for fly fishing is the "State of Mind" I'm in when I wet a line. It isn't the number in your creel, but the satisfaction in your soul, that makes for good fishing.
Oh Ya, the Adirondacks of upstate New York is pretty good too. Then there are the oxbows of the deep south, the tidal estuaries of New England for stripers and the flats of Florida for bone fish. The list goes on and on.
I live in 3 and 7. Not too shabby.
Very glad that yard bird doesn't know his butt from a hole in the river bank when it comes to fly fishing Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee and etc....
I feel sorry for you folks on his list because he is going to run through your state with all of his Yuppie "A River Runs Through It" pals. However I am very happy that he doesn't try Penns Creek. It has been known to stump the best fly fishers on the planet so someone like him would go home squalling and bawling.
Another "phone it in" article.
Seriously, I have nothing against Michigan, but how can you put it ahead of Montana, Alaska and New York?
