The old saying is everyday of fishing is better than a day at work. Few of us would disagree with it. While that may be so, some days of fly fishing are better than others. Specifically, we are talking about fly fishing spots every angler talks about.
This is, of course, my top 5 because I am the one writing the article. Everyone has different opinions, and I realize it. There is no need to send me emails with blazing commentary about how I must be mad to pick these 5!
1. Alaska. There is little doubt it is one of the last great wildlife spots in the world. Well south of Anchorage, the Bristol Bay area offers a bevy of fish ranging from salmon to trout, pike and more. Hit the various waterways dumping into the bay during the summer.
2. I love Chili and I am not talking the food. Chile has fjords in the south of the country. You hit the coast, get a guide and a zodiac boat and just explore the little rivers. Everything from salmon on can be found. An incredible experience.
3. New Zealand is one of the more beautiful countries in the world and the South Island is known to have some excellent fly fishing. Browns and rainbows are on the menu. It is a very informal place, so ask around or buy a local guide to find the best spots.
4. Argentina. Now there is a destination you might not think of with fly fishing. Well, the Rio Traful is a river in Patagonia with landlocked Salmon! The fishing is so good that President Eisenhower fished there and Ted Turner owns a big ranch on the river.
5. The Green River in Utah is a controversial pick. It is an epic river with incredible fishing for trout. So, what could be the downside? The river gets busy with people. If you are looking to avoid the crowd, the Green River may be a bad choice these days.
The real beauty of fly fishing is that there are tremendous spots around the world. Most focus on the states and Canada, but we aren't the only ones who have the hot spots. Regardless, any day fishing is a good day, so get out there and have some fun.
