Of course there are hundreds of spots that you can go to fly fish if you are a traveler, but I will only be going over a handful of my favorite spots and they are all located in the United States. One that may catch you by surprise is Sitka, Alaska. Sitka is located in the Southeastern part of Alaska and there are many rivers and streams that are not fished that much due to the number of them and fishermen that go there. What you can expect in just about all of them are Steelhead. You can also expect to get some Salmon and Trout. Best time to go in my opinion is the end of Spring or the beginning of Summer.
If you like to fish for rainbow trout, which are absolutely delicious, then you may want to fish the Colorado river that is located in Arizona. The best thing about fly fishing here is that you can do it year round as the temperature of the water stays just right for the Rainbow Trout, meaning they really have no reason to migrate north or south or to warmer or cooler waters unlike many other parts of the United States. The river is about 15 miles long and stretches from the upper end of the Grand Canyon down to Lake Powell. They are real big on fly fishing around there and there is loads of information available, and also many fishing charters that will be glad to make sure you catch fish, if the price is right of course.
The Driftless Area in Wisconsin also offers many fishing spots for the fly fisherman as there are almost a hundred streams that are full of game. The Driftless Area is mainly in Wisconsin but it also is a part of Minnesota too. If you want to see some beautiful scenery and try for some brown trout, then this would be an ideal place for you. Another huge place on fly fishing, you will have no problem finding guides or more information if you choose to go here.
If you want to get a fly fishing experience of a life time then get on a plane and head to Kauai, Hawaii. They have ponds there that are loaded with small mouth and large mouth bass. But the most challenging type of fly fishing that I have done to date is going after bonefish. Bone fish are extremely fast and you may have to cast hundreds of times before you get them to bite, and there are plenty of them in the saltwaters of Kauai, Hawaii. I promise you if you hook up with a bonefish you will know what I mean and know why so many people fly into the middle of the Pacific Ocean to try and catch them. If you are into bonefishing and do not want to go that far you may want to try some of the islands in the Bahamas.
There are literally thousands of fly fishing hot spots that are around the world that offer you great fishing. These are just a few that I have visited personally. Sometimes when I get bored I get on the internet and just start browsing around and try to plan my next vacation, the hardest part is deciding where to go, and for me it is always some place that is different and I haven’t been too before.
