ugly places.

But are there places you don't care to fish, even though you know there is good or even great fishing to be had, because you don't care for the aesthetics of the place ??

For me, a couple are the Snake River downstream of Idaho Falls and some stretches of the Henry's Fork.

Great streamer fishing on the Snake for big browns and bows. But the four or five times I've gone to a highly regarded stretch down around Shelley, with all my gear and psyched to do it, I get there, look around, and go somewhere else.

Same thing for a few stretches of the Henry's Fork. Hard to beat the fishing, but the aesthetics just don't do it for me.

The question is not just for trout fishermen ( you, too, Betty and Joni ) but regardless of species.
