Remember when Popular Mechanics said we’d all have our own fusion-powered personal hovercraft by the year 2000?
Instead, we got airlines that can’t get us from Peoria to Chicago without losing our luggage. But maybe – just maybe – we can get to that secret fly fishing water right away – flying our own personal jetpacks:
Sure, it weighs a bunch, costs $100K, and apparently sucks trees into the rotors if you get too close, but there it is – personal flight.
Now that’s the way to go fishing. Now I just need it to be remote controlled so I can get my son to keep me in the air while I fish from on high.

Apparently it’s pretty noisy, and really, the last thing you want is to strap yourself to a 200 hp gas motor and rotor blades and then hand the controls over to someone else.
Just saying is all.
Then again, flying through a cloud of bugs would presumably litter the surface with chopped up specimens, mingling the effectiveness of chumming with the snobbish charm of dry fly fishing…

Yeah, I’m rethinking that idea as I am sure my son would have me doing things that would make it tough to fish.

Those are some great photos, what kind of camera did you take those with?…
BTW I also run a blog about fishing, there are some neat pictures there as well, it would be cool if you stopped by and let me know what you think… http://www.ifishct.com.
