Went to the Palm Coast in northeast Florida. The Satelite photos showed freshwater ponds all over the property we stayed at. Got there & discovered - no fishing in the ponds. I guess the golfers didn't want any fishers on their prissy little stupid sport play ground. Continued to find the same problem all over the area. Did some saltwater fishing, but things were slow. Heard many of the lakes in the state are way down and even dry. Saw a TV spot where a town wanted to drain of billions of gallons of water from a near by lake "to water their lawns".
Great State!

I fear the same thing at the ponds at my folks place but it won't stop me from fishing there. I will just be more selective about the times I fish since its right out the door from their place. Too bad to as the bass grow twelve months a year down there and show it!

Wouldn't you know the minute I get home, there is a picture in Florida Sportsman of an 8-10 lb Bass caught on a fly rod in guess where - a pond on a golf course. Ticks me off that for every golfer there's 3 fishermen in Florida, yet the golfers get the land, water, etc as part of their gated communities. Not fair

I left Saturday morning 8 am for West Palm Beach. came back to Boston Sunday night. The weather 78 degrees - sun shinning. We were checking on old folks. I wish I could have fished. Oh well.

A friend showed me a photo and story that appeared in the NY Times recently of Peter Kaminsky fly fishing at a golf course in Florida. The article went on to extoll how great a venue they are for fly fishing.
