Hi gang, this thread will probably confirm my insanity. I have some questions in relation to the States.1. Are there trout in every single state in the US? NOPE! Not in the deep south, except for trout stocked during the winter months and a few bottom draw cold water dams like those near Atlanta, Ga, San Antonio, TX, Flippin, ARK, etc. 2. If there are not trout in a state, is there a fish which can be caught on the fly (I assume yes for this one)- Yes, largemouth bass, bluegill, perch, white bass, striped bass, carp, etc. 3. What is the best 6 month period for fly fishing in the States? Probably April through Oct except for the tailwaters, (bottom draw dams) in the deep south where you can fly fish for trout year round. 4. If you were to zig zag across America i.e. from bottom right to bottom left, up a state, back across to the right, up a state, back across to the left until you have been through all the states, how many thousands of miles are you looking at? MORE THAN YOU EVEN WANT TO THINK ABOUT, PLUS EVEN MORE IF YOU WANT TO DRIVE TO ALASKA!
