{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Your favorite fishing city

I'm glad to see someone acknowledge Springfield MO.  The surrounding area (including NW AR) is a sportsman paradise.  It's also home to a booming economy (relatively speaking) and a fun university town.

favorite fishing towns... 

larger cities... 

seattle (and all the towns w/in an hour from olympia to everett),   - fishing along the shore right downtown and out in the sound, olympic nat. park, salmon runs on the rivers, some decent cutthroat fishing in the mountains, and great trout/steelhead fishing in central wa.  good fishing year round tho bring a raincoat and read the reg. book. 

denver, mountains are pretty much filthy with trout. personally i prefer some of the smaller cities in colorado... but Denver is a major one. 

portland - same as seattle tho no public beaches, at least not the kind you want to go to (think naked old people, not fishing), endless woods/wilderness for cutts & kokanee, salmon fishing in the rivers and off the coast, 1.5-3hrs from some of the great rivers the flow into the columbia river gorge. 

Smaller cities... basically a list of my favorite places... 

Fort Collins, Bend, Missoula, Eugene, Harrisburg/State College, Asheville, Grand Junction or Durango, Helena, Springfield (MO), Burlington, also a bunch of areas in the poconos with all kinds of fishing that are within an hour or two of ny/jerz. Portland, ME isn't bad either tho kind of a hike. 

have fun.

So my girlfriend and I are moving in August. She is a nurse and I work for a large company in every major city.  We've been northeasterners our whole lives, and we want to try something new. We're kind of on a 1 year plan as we are both going back to school the following September. So, I'm looking for some input on best fishing cities in the country. I know this is a large question, but ideally we'd like to be within 45 minutes of a major city. We are open to anywhere and everywhere. I love to fish for all different types of fish, but obviously trout is the mecca for us fly rodders.  Year round fishing is major plus. Any opinion welcome!
