Your favorite no tell-um fishing hole?

[eagleflyfshr]

I am somewhat in agreement with Cpierce on this one, not as to region, but the kind of place. My favorite fishing hole is not necessarily a specific place, but a type of place. Its the one I had to research and take some extra effort to get into. I try to find a couple of these a year and time doesn't usually permit repeat visits, there are so many other places to find and try. This doesn't include my regular haunts. My regulars are just warmups for the "off the beaten path" water. Since this kind of water usually doesn't get a lot of pressure, if there are fish there, then they are frequently very accomodating to a fly. It probably doesn't take as much fishing talent to catch fish in some of the places I like to get into - the fish can be ready and willing - but then I'm not a talented fisherman! Yes, I've been skunked on many a trek, but I prefer the days I've had to hike into a place just to get skunked, than my 20+ fish days on frequently stocked waters (I like those too, just not as much). My favorites are the hard to get to and I catch fish. I like to look on the satellite views for water that I can't initially identify on a map and then research it out to see if it is fishable. If it looks like it might be, it goes on my list. I only hope retirement comes before my body wears out so I can explore more of the water that is currently outside of my time constraints. So much water out there and so little time................
