    Default Vacation Ideas?

    My wife and I are looking to go on a different type (for us) summer vacation this year. We are looking to rent a cabin in the woods somewhere. We agree on that. I'd like to be able to fish different types of waters while we are there (ponds, streams, rivers, etc.). She would probably fish one of the days, then want other activities to keep her busy the rest of the time (horseback riding, hiking, biking, etc.). We live in Delaware and would want to stay in the region (Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, etc.). Also, she is a teacher, so we are somewhat limited in when we could go (late June, July, early August). Not the best coldwater fishing times, but I do enjoy catching trout. Does anyone have any good suggestions on where we should look to go? Or has anyone taken a vacation like this and has some feedback? Thanks in advance.

    You mean, someone is thinking of a different venue than the Michigan Fish-In???????
    Trouts don't live in ugly places.

    A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.

    Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.

    Every thing you mentioned is available in the area of this resort:

    It won't cost you an arm and a leg either. If you go there be certain to check out the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon.

    Maine is good that time of year, and there are a lot of cabins to choose from.

    Although I'm not very fond of tourist I have to say that Fishing in Maine is spectacular in the summer. Come, visit, catch some very large brookies, go home and keep it a secret.

    Default Where to go?

    Try "Baxter State Park " in Maine.
    Maine's not too far from you.Nice lake, lots of critters to see, not horribly crowded.
    A little nearer? Try New Hampshire. Lots of little lakes and steams .
    Ultra picturesque, lots of trees, tourist traps,etc,etc.
    It'll make a nice drive off of "your" beaten path.
    Step out of your comfort zone and you'll probably be thrilled with the outcome.
    Have a great vacation.


    p.s was'nt paying attention what the other folks were saying in the other replies. Seems to me that Me. has an advantage over the other spots. Oh, lots of variety for fish.

    pps.to mosca ... sorry , the secret has been out for about 100 years .
