We Know: Where to Go for a Fly Fishing Vacation
Fly Fishing Vacations
Fly-fishing is more popular than ever and as the sport grows, so too does the worldwide availability of equipment.
In addition, the number of resorts and getaways catering to those who enjoy fly fishing is also on the increase. It
used to be that fly fishing was mostly limited to freshwater streams, but now it's enjoyed all over the world in
freshwater and salt water.
Fly Fishing Options
You have many choices when it comes to fly fishing. Here are several of them:
- Saltwater or freshwater, stream or river, lake, or ocean: These choices largely depend on the type of fish
you're interested in.
- Catch and release or keep: Many anglers prefer to catch and release in an effort to sustain fish
levels while others fish for subsistence or to enjoy the experience of eating fresh fish that they caught themselves.
- Game fish and smaller, non-game fish: Both big game fishing and small stream fishing can be exciting.
- Guided or non-guided fishing: Hire an expert to offer you pointers and take you to the best places to catch
fish, or go by yourself and fish on your own.
- Fly out or on location: Some fishing lodges are in remote areas accessible only by floatplane or boat. Others
are reachable by vehicle.
