Saltwater Fly Fishing Miami

Top Ten in Florida   by Andrew Regan

More than 1200 miles of sandy beaches, adrenaline inducing theme parks and year round sunshine, the American state of Florida has something to offer literally everyone.

Whether it’s freshwater, saltwater, or fly-casting, Florida is a top-notch destination to visit if fishing takes your fancy. Southwest Florida is the best spot to visit for fishing; it has some of the best backwater fishing in the state as well as an abundance of freshwater opportunities.

It would be impossible to mention Florida without referring to Disneyland, the state’s most popular vacation destination. For a spot of fairytale living this is the place to visit and it proves popular with kids as well as grownups.

Orlando is best known as the home of Disneyland but there is much more besides. Universal Orlando is a popular destination resort with its own hotels and theme parks, Seaworld Orlando provides hours of entertainment and International Drive boasts more than 100 hotels and 150 restaurants.

Florida is an ideal place to get back to nature and its largest natural wonder, the Everglades, should be on your list if you are passionate about the great outdoors.

This is the largest subtropical wilderness in the United States and is home to more than 300 species of birds, 11,000 plant varieties and unique wildlife.

Nature lovers will also appreciate the living reefs of the Florida Keys. More than 9000 pieces of living coral are situated in these waters alongside an accolade of brightly coloured sea creatures of various species, from Angelfish to Seahorses.

Heading north, sun worshippers will be right at home at Panama City Beach which overlooks the Gulf of Mexico and is a popular tourist location. With an annual average of 320 days sunshine this is the perfect spot to make the most of the great outdoors.

Another popular spot on the Gulf of Mexico is Tampa Bay, a favourite with anyone who prefers sand and gentle surf

Another northerly city to look out for is St Augustine. Considered to be America’s oldest city this hotspot is steeped in history and has a myriad of historic sites and museums to explore.

You may have heard of spring break and if non-stop partying sounds like your idea of fun then take a trip to Florida during March when thousands of students come to relax and have fun. The spring break party spots tend to be Panama City, Daytona Beach and Key West.

Last but not least is Kennedy Space Centre, America’s National Launch Pad. If you are in Florida when a flight is scheduled to take off then don’t miss it. You can feel the ground shake beneath your feet as the space shuttles launch themselves off into outer space.

When arranging your holidays in Florida it pays to give some thought to which airport is handiest for wherever you want to visit. Florida’s busiest airport is Orlando, Miami airport is only eight miles downtown whereas Tampa airport is closer to the idyllic beaches of Florida’s Gulf Coast.

Wyoming Ranch Property   by William Fischer

Real estate industry experts and the media have been predicting the bursting of the housing bubble for a while now, like modern day Nostradamus’. The U.S’s market will crash, home value medians will dive, sales will slump. The past few months have been filled with a lot of doom and gloom predictions of the nation’s market. But knowing what the national market is doing and the national home value median isn’t going to help you when you want to buy or sell in a specific area. (In case you’re curious, the national median home value was $221,900 in 2006). To get a good idea of where an area’s market is headed, whether home value goes up or down, you need to look at more than just that area’s current market. You’ve got to examine it’s economy, employment and growth opportunities and it’s attractions.

Wyoming, with it’s capital of Cheyenne, seems to be a state that flies under most peoples’ radar. Known as the Cowboy state, and relatively sparsely populated with only 515,004 residents in 2006, many assume Wyoming is a middle of nowhere state with nothing to do and nothing to offer, which is definitely not true. First off, with it’s sprawling plains and fertile land, Wyoming’s agriculture provides the rest of the country with cattle, beets, sheep, hay and wheat, while it’s industries provide mining, chemical products, lumber and wood, printing and publishing, machinery and of course, tourism. A strong economy is one good indication that an area’s real estate market should stay steady and home value rates will increase.

Wyoming is known also as “forever west” and evokes the very essence of the American Old West, a simpler time of cowboys and cattle runs, Wyoming Ranch Property. Wyoming has stuck to that simplicity and many of it’s tourist attractions are along the same line. The central region of the state is the corridor that many pioneers followed to the West, from sage-covered plains to tree-studded mountains. Historical trails and cultural spots abound. Wyoming is probably most famous as the home of Yellowstone National Park, as well as many other national parks and Indian Reservations, so there’s plenty to do, whether you like visiting historical and cultural spots or want to get outdoors for some wildlife-watching, fishing, hiking, boating, etc. Wyoming is also home to many fossil findings (see the Fossil Butte National Monument) as well as herds of wild horses and dude ranches. For those craving night life, the major cities like Cheyenne and Laramie has clubs, theaters, dining, breweries and anything else a city should have to offer.

Though many of Wyoming’s attractions are geared more toward the outdoors type, they still see plenty of tourists each year, yet another reason their real estate market and home value rates should stay relatively steady. Even their unemployment rate is down from recent years to 2.9%, though they say a historical low of 1.9% back in February of 1979. The average household income is similar to many mid-western states at about $46,000 in 2005. The median home value is relatively low as well, at about $152,011.

Wyoming’s real estate market, though not booming, does not seem to be affected by the supposed slump as many other states are. It is one of the largest coal suppliers in the world and because of the high need for mineral related products (like coal and gas) the eastern part of the state had suffered a severe work shortage and lack of housing. Due to this need, the job market exploded and construction began on new housing for the state. Because of this, much of Wyoming is still a seller’s market, unlike the rest of the country. With so many job opportunities and a strong economic future, Wyoming home value rates haven’t taken much of a hit as many other areas, and as long as those factors stay booming, it should have a steady market for a while to come.

Fall In the Smoky Mountains: A Magical Season   by Bennie McCann

There’s something about fall that adds a bit of excitement to the air. Maybe it’s because school has begun. It might be the reduction in sweltering summer temperatures. Perhaps it’s the thrill of football season or it could be the onset of holidays including Halloween and Thanksgiving. While you’re marking your calendar and making plans for what to do this fall, don’t forget to include a visit to the Smoky Mountains. It’s the perfect place to experience the magical change of seasons.

We all know that during fall the leaves change colors, but if you haven’t seen the colors of fall in the Smoky Mountains, you have missed a masterpiece of nature. While the official dates for the fall season are September 23rd through December 21st, the peak time for leaves to change is unpredictable because there are so many factors involved. According to the National Park Service, “At higher elevations, where the climate is similar to New England’s, color displays start as early as mid-September. The fall color display usually reaches peak at mid- and lower elevations between mid-October and early November. This is the park’s most spectacular display.” It’s during this time that you’ll find brilliant shades of deep burgundy, dazzling orange, sparkling gold and emerald green shimmering in the sunlight. These magnificent colors turn the Smoky Mountains into a priceless work of art.

There are numerous ways to experience this beauty. Traveling by car is the most popular choice because it allows for a great deal of freedom. Hundreds of people jump into their vehicles to spend the day enjoying the breathtaking colors of autumn. Bring a picnic lunch, park the car and savor your meal surrounded by the glorious landscape. Prefer walking? These mountains offer more than 800 miles of trails to explore laced with waterfalls, historic buildings and other surprises along tranquil paths. See wildlife when you bike the 11 miles of Cades Cove Loop Road or go horseback riding across 550 miles of trails. Whatever method you like, there’s definitely something for everyone.

With a spectacular display of color all around, it’s hard to imagine anything more beautiful. However, if you’ve ever seen the reflection of fall colors in a glistening stream you’ll know that the Smokies repeatedly outdo themselves. That’s probably why fishing is another popular attraction in the Smoky Mountains.

Whether you’re a novice or have years of experience, you’ll enjoy over 2000 miles of streams filled with brook, rainbow and brown trout, as well as smallmouth and rock bass. While fishing is permitted year round, the use of live bait or food is not allowed. You may only use artificial flies or lures with a single hook. Since the park lies across the Tennessee/North Carolina border, a permit or license from either state is required.

The early fall brings daytime high temperatures in the 70s and 80s, with dropping highs in the 50s to 60s at season’s end. This makes fall an opportune time to take advantage of the great outdoors. If you can only get away for a day, it will be a day well spent. Obviously, longer stays afford more time for fun, adventure and relaxation. With numerous cabins nearby for rent, you can enjoy your evenings nestled in the beauty and tranquility of the Smoky Mountains. Whether it will be for one day or several, make plans now to see the magic of the fall colors unfold right before your eyes.

Bring the Great Outdoors Indoors with Satellite Tv   by Jon Jacobson

As fall approaches wildlife watchers and outdoor enthusiasts are feeling the last signs of summer slip away. Many are feeling wistful for the days that have past and are already starting the countdown for when the warm weather will return. But why wait that long when you can enjoy the beauty and wonder of the outdoors from your living room? Maybe you can’t get waist deep and go Fly Fishing in the middle of the winter, but the next best thing is available on satellite tv with the unrestrained clarity of HD. Animal researchers and Wildlife conservationists have gone to great lengths in recent years to bring this wild environment into people’s homes through visually breathtaking and educational programming on a variety of channels.

Most recently, the release of films and documentaries like Planet Earth and Blue Planet, people’s passions for the untouched beauty of the world’s wilderness has been renewed. These groundbreaking programs brought the natural world to life on people’s tv screens, enchanting viewers. Especially with the invention of high definition television the wilderness watching experience is just that, an sensationally tantalizing experience. The colors are vivid, the sounds are sharp and the living material is fascinating to observe.

Aside from those award winning documentaries, there are a series of new programs and channels available through satellite tv that similarly captivate wildlife enthusiasts. The National Geographic channel brings viewers all over the world to see the rare, unusual and the beautiful. The programming on this show takes the angle of people and culture as well as wildlife and the great outdoors. Their crews often go to the ends of the earth to captures wildlife in its most primitive form. One such program on National Geographic followed a group of scientists who trekked down to Argentina’s famous Patagonian coast to film penguins, sea lions, and whales. They captured on film the world renowned hunting method of the Patagonian Orca Whales who purposely beach themselves on the beach to feed on the helpless sea pups that are just out of reach of the waves. This is a rare sight that even locals are hard pressed to witness. The image of the beautiful but deadly black and white dolphins racing head on for the shore sweeping up a pup with just the toss of it’s head is simply incredible. With HD it’s as though you’re sitting at the edge of the water watch with your own eyes. To this extent, National Geographic really brings nature to viewers.

Other such channels found on satellite tv that bring inspiration to those who feel trapped indoors during the long winter months are Animal Planet and The Discovery Channel. Each channel respectively uses informative programming matched with incomparable imagery to bring their focus home to you. Both channels have many different series that focus on the exotic to the domestic. They have shows dedicated to animal rescue; from orphaned kittens and abused dogs to beached pilot whales and moose who have lost their way. They teach people what to do in emergency situations with animals and with every year’s Shark Week they continue to fascinate the masses by demystifying the worlds most elusive predators.

All of these programs work to bring wildlife home, seeking to educate and fascinate people with the complexity and beauty of our planet and all its living creatures.
