I love fishing. never been fly fishing though, but I intend to try it some time.

the best fishing I did was in Rocky Island Lake, Ontario..a chain of about a thousand lakes all surrounded by mountains and evergreen trees. it was actually logging territory. it was pretty remote, I was told it was an 8 hour helicopter ride to the nearest hospital.

anyhow there were all kinds of wildlife I'd never seen, a bear and a moose being the ones I particularly remember. we paddled out in canoes and fished from about 6 AM till 6 PM everyday for a week. the water was so clean you could dip your cup in it and drink it, best water i've ever tasted.

as far as I know there were only 3 kinds of fish..walleye, northern pike, and whitefish. we gutted and ate every one we caught and it was, of course, the best tasting fish I'd ever had.

I also would like to go fishing in Montana, as others have mentioned. But hell I'd go fishing anywhere
