Re: Best Spot to Retire

I don't fish. Which is unfortunate in a way. I own a waterfront rental house that's about 100 yards from the point a fresh water creek feeds Puget Sound. Steelhead, Cutthroat, Chinook, Chum, and Coho are literally jumping in the backyard. I enjoy watching the eagles pick them off.

Let me know if you need a vacation rental

Here is a 23 lb. fish caught in B.C. on a dry fly in 1988. These were in my glory years
The steelhead is a beaut. The best that I could do in 3 years of stream fishing in Washington was to catch two that ran about 4 pounds each.

But why do you have an image of a coelacanth as your logo? Is that what you are after next?

Re: Best Spot to Retire

That fish is a beauty! I've caught larger, but not many and never caught a steelhead even close.
Now that I am in the autumn of my fishing career I wish
I had a couple of them mounted. Never thought about it
at the time. We just ate 'em.

Re: Best Spot to Retire

I was looking at deland fla. but mount dora seems like it deserves a good look, close to orlando so if one needs something you have a metro area only 20 min, away, and the town seems quaint with a historic distric and home prices are not to expensive.
