Flygoddess: Wasn't implying anything bad about Utah folks, heck I bought a non resident fishing license for Utah last year just to go to Willard and fish them wipers. It's just when you look at where Oneida is (middle of no where) you would never guess that so many people from Utah would go there. I don't think I saw an Idaho plate that entire weekend.
I think it's kind of funny that I live up here in "God's Blue Ribbon Trout Stream Country" and don't fly fish (tho I do own a couple of fly rods, just not my thing). I'm a boat and motor dude, and will travel a 1000 miles or more (Cabelas 2005 NTC in Iowa) just to launch my boat and fish a new body of water. The closet warm water species reservoir is 80 miles from my house, yet the Bigwood River and Silver Creek are in my back yard. When I meet people up here and they find out that I like to fish, and I my favorite being smb and walleye they look at me kind of funny and ask "Where do you fish for those??" When I tell them how far I have to travel, they can't believe that I would drive that far with all the "Trout" in my back yard. [cool][cool]
