I'm off to Idaho

I'll be heading to the airport in a few hours to go to Idaho. I will be checking out property there but most exciting for me is that i will be able to go fishing!!!! There is real fishing there, not just hatcherys that charge by the pound as you pull fish out of man-made ponds, one after another

I just hope I can get my brother-in-law to clean them . . .if I catch any

Just learned also, that Vic Otto lives in Boise. Maybe I can visit and get some some good carving tips. I'm taking a Laptop so I'll be able to continue reading posts here.

Jillsy, you really had a great experience on your trip. That is so cool.

I thought Idaho was more famous for its spuds, not the fishing.

Oh well (shrugs) Have fun!

Nancy,
Enjoy the fishing there...but you have to remember that the fish in the streams are "wild" and will spook easily. Grab yourself a couple of Panther-Martin spinners as they work well OR just grab a flyrod, I had great luck w/ renegade flies...

I enjoyed the short time I lived in Idaho Falls, just wished the job opportunities were better....

...have a safe trip...

Hey Nancy...remember the ol' indian saying, I can't remember which ol' indian? But it goes like this "no, clean'um, no catch'um!"

Enjoy Nancy and welcome to Idaho I live in Council small town 120 miles NW of Boise but lived in Boise for a lot of years and know Vic Otto personally, let me know how you like it........

Another carver on the road! First we had Terri, moving across the country and settling in Rick's Seattle, then who was it, Wade, moving from Florida to the mountains, and was it Linda running back and forth between Alberta and BC, and now Nancy is leaving the cool life of California for the wilds of Idaho! I'm sure there were others I missed, but this just goes to remind you what a great place we live, where we have such great places to choose from to live, here in North America!

Hope you find the perfect spot and settle in quickly and get some serious carving done!
