I had dinner last night with a couple from Tierra del Fuego, the big
island to the south of Argentina (and part of it). They mentioned a
trout-fishing stream where an all-inclusive package ran $1,000 a day
(but not including airfare to Usushia!).


I had plans to go to Iceland after arctic char a couple of years
ago--but when told the daily fee for a section of stream was going to
run me $900 (that would allow up to four fishermen, or "rods", on that
section), I decided that Wyoming was a better destination for this
fly-fisherman-on-a-budget...

As a fly fisherman, I've seen many pics of gentlemen fishing the chalk
steams of Merrie old England wearing suists, complete with white
shirts, ties, and vests, not to mention bowlers.


And Ireland and Scotland.

At the prices one pays for the privilege of fishing those streams, you
could attend the opera, and one always dresses up a bit for the opera.
