    For the last fifty years or so, adventurers and entrepreneurs have pushed the boundaries of fly fishing far beyond trout and salmon in North America and Europe. First came saltwater fly fishing and bonefish, tarpon and striped bass. Then the waters of Patagonia and New Zealand became hotbeds for adventurous troutists. Billy Pate and a handful of others realized one could tempt billfish with a fly. Soon after, salmon anglers discovered the Kola Peninsula, steelheaders the rich waters of Kamchatka. And a host of new species-from roosterfish to peacock bass to taimen-came to be viewed as legitimate fly rod species. It's safe to say that with a recent trip to Borneo, Ralph Cutter has pushed the boundaries of fly fishing travel to a whole different level. A much lower level.
