Jim: We have "State Lakes" in Alabama, and the nearest one to me is only 7 miles from my house. You can fish there for $2 a day, and $2 to launch a boat if you want too.. But, they keep the banks cleans and mowed etc, and it is great fun practice casting there. I plan to go there tomorrow (Friday as it's 12:48 am here).. BTW, what Latitudes are South Korea on, so I have an idea of the climate??? Thanks, Chuck

Korea. We paid about $10 to catch and release and $20 to catch and keep (at first NO limits but some greedy ass caught and kept over 60 trout in one day and the owner at first BARRED all Americans but our American/Korean Fly Fishing Club spoke with him and he just barred the idiot BUT set a five fish limit) The best part of pond fishing is it had no obstructions and being able to practice your casting, try different techniques and also to try out your experimental flies. What you can do if you are a sneaky sort is tie on a "hook less" fly and go out there and practice. Also it is a great place for youngster to feel the thrill of catching and fighting a trout. I personally like trout fishing over bass fishing. deserttrout6/jim On 5/3/07, Jimmy D.

Sounds like the guy has set up a "put and take" pond, knowing full well that those trout not caught will die shortly.
