I know you wouldn't guess it from my posts and the few articles I've written, but I too travel for trout occasionally, but I've found that any fish that will take a fly (and almost all of them will once you find the right fly) has something to offer. Whether it's the beauty and spunk of little longears and brookies, the savage all-out airborne fight of tarpon, the delberate "I can pull harder than you can" persistence of drum and catfish, or the dizzying spin of a big bluegill, every species from carp to cutthroats has its unique charm that makes it worth pursuing. Lucky for me so many different ones are close to home where I get to chase them all.
