[#0000ff]Hey Dryrod, my reasons for moving back to Utah were not all based upon fishing. We have a lot of family here, since this is where TubeBabe was borned and raised.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]However, it did not hurt that Utah provides some of the best diverse fishing in the country. There are few species of freshwater fish in the US that cannot be found somewhere in the "Beehive State". In many cases, the fishing for them is equal or better than anywhere else you can find them. In other cases, the species are sparse to nonexistent, if they were the result of failed experiments.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]For troutaholics, including fly flingers, there are countless opportunities to catch really decent sized trout, of several species. And, even though there are some large population bases, you can find solitude and trout within an easy drive of the largest cities.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Too bad about the road hazard mishap. I feel your pain. I have had similar encounters where you were on top of the object before you could react. At the very least, it costs a tire or two. At the worst, you can become a statistic. Just goes to show that no matter how dull the drive, you need to stay aware of the road and those around you.[/#0000ff]
