    Cool Not ff'ing but... could possibly check out actual photos of fishing areas on computer

    www.vpike.com

    This will take you to a "virtual turnpike tour" of any place that has a "Blue lined road" on a map that appears at the right of the opening page after you type in either an address or a place in the search block .

    Pretty neat. When the photograph of the area comes up in the box to the left of the map box you can look 360 degrees around or up and down by placing your cursor in the photo box and moving it around. You can get views of either a map/ satellite/ hybrid and one other, I think.

    Type your home address in and then see what comes up. You can only look at places that have the road blue lined though. You can place your cursor on the "stickpin" that shows up on the map and move it up or down a road for a different view. Can also use the + and - signs in the map box to take you in or out for a close up or distant view.

    Could check out some fishing spots if there's a blue lined road nearby.

    I can't say about fly fishing but there's a lot of feed lots in Kansas.

    Used it to follow one of my favorite rivers. Nice to check out locations that may prove fruitful this year.
