Thanks for the reply.I'm looking forward to my trip,mainly for the fishing.I normally only fish freshwater lakes over here and i love catching Carp for the fight you get.If anyone can tell me of any lakes containing carp within 1 hr drive from the centre i will be forever in your debt!What sort of weather can i expect over the next 3 mths as i really have no idea.1st time in the states & i can't wait!Thanks again,Dave.
