My wife & I love to fly fish, it's one of the reasons we bought our camper.  Unfortunately we aren't left coast, but "middle-coast" (Texas).  All our trips tend to be Rockies-related and some day we plan on Northwest & BC fly-fishing.

Headed to the Madison for a long weekend of floating and fishing.  Now that the pod is behind us we have to keep the drift boat at home.  I'm not quite ready for an Idaho parade (triple tow).  Lucky that we have friends in Ennis that will lend us a boat.  Lots of good fishing here in Idaho with Montana and Wyoming close.  Not quite left coast, but certainly west.  
Tight lines!

You lucky dog you!  So you're going to drift the Madison in Montana.  Closest I ever got to Montana was owning a Mondolin made in Bozeman.

When you get back post a couple of war stories, love to read them.

We're going up to White Horse Lake here in AZ.  IT's a small, high country, lake but by Idaho & Montana standards it's more like an over sized pond.

Enjoy, be safe.

Tight lines.

Just Back from Montana, Big Hole River area. Did some fly fishing -- not as much as I like--Family get together.

Also, first long trip in Pod, great time!

I live in Chicago but was born and raised in L.A. Does that make me left coaster?

Born & raised in LA but living in Chicago makes you a California refugee like many of us...that's not a bad thing, just means you're ahead of the curve...that's a good thing.

Montana, that's nice.  First long trip...even better.

I'm new to fly fishing but not fishing in general.  The purpose of the post was to gauge regional interest in ff'g.  This Nov. we're going to Lee's Ferry in Glen Canyon, AZ.  on a recon with a possible guided trip next spring or early fall.

Lee's Ferry has soon bodacious native Rainbow Trout 14 to 21 inches.  The trout have pink flames on their sides from eating the freshwater shrimp.  Could be a real hoot.

RichC,
Moved out to Idaho from Chitown in 2004.  Never looked back.  Just spent a few days up on the Madison. Tell Jon and Andy at ChiFly Smitty says hello if you ever get into thier shop downtown.  Next time your out this way lets go fishing!  
Fish on!

We were in National forest campground 20 miles from Wisdom. MT. also about 20 miles from Idaho border.

I pass that fly shop, on Clybourn, on my way downtown. Haven't stopped in because I'm driving a horse carriage and can't leave the horse.

Still like living in  Chicago but love the Rockies.

Also a friend recently introduced me to the Rush River in Wisconsin -- great fly fishing, shorter drive.

Don't hate L.A. but never regretted moving.

Sounds like you have an interesting plan. Plotting a fishing trip almost as good as going. R Pods seem to make great "fish camps".

We don't hate LA or the state of California & have many fond memories of LA & the Montery Bay Area but the opportunity costs associated with the state were just too high.  Didn't mean to offend anyone in or from the Golden State with my comment.

R Pods do make "great fishing camps".  Pull into any camp and people seem to gravitate to the Pod and come over to say "hi" and look inside.  During our 9 days at White Horse we met 3 poders and held a number of "open houses" with Pod walk-thru's.
