    Spinner Thats some great water you fish there

    I think the "driftless area" is going to make it onto my list of places I want to fish. I have to know though why do they call it the driftless area?

    The Driftless Area or Paleozoic Plateau is a region in the American Midwest noted mainly for its deeply carved river valleys. While primarily in southwest Wisconsin, it includes areas of southeast Minnesota, northeast Iowa and northwest Illinois (see map at right). This region includes elevations ranging from 603 to 1,450 feet (184 to 442 m) and covers an area of 16,203 square miles (41,986 km?). This region's peculiar terrain is due to its having escaped glaciation in the most recent ice age.

    The only problem with that area is that they MAKE you eat cheese a drink BRANDY Manhattans. It IS Wisconsin after all.

    They won't have to make me eat cheese. They can't make me drink brandy. So I'm looking forward to seeing a Driftless Fish-In posted.
