>>Haha, I'm less than 2 hours from some of the best trout fishing in the world. Little Red River,, White River, etc. in Arkansas. Of course I could get there in less than one hour, if all those slow people would just get out of the way! I've got a buddy with a boat (better'n a neighbor with a pool), and I'm just waiting on a call to catch some.

One man+canoe=bad. Go for a flat bottom boat with live wells, or try to convince your friends to get one. That's the best way.
