Choosing The Perfect Fishing Destination

Whether you plan to saltwater or freshwater fish, you need to think about what

your priorities and what you consider the 'perfect fishing trip'. Salmon fishing in

Alaska or Bonefishing in the Florida Keys are obviously totally different in

destination, type of tackle, weather gear...etc.

One of the first things you must do to plan a great fishing trip is to identify your

priorities. You need to be more specific than just saying you want great fishing.

Great fishing may mean different things to each person in your fishing party.

One person might be happy with catching 20 fish per day, while another might be

expecting 30 fish per hour. So, you need to decide this up front.

Let's take a look at some of the most important things to consider when deciding

where to go on your fishing trip.

What type of fish do you want to catch?

While this may seem obvious, it is something that needs to be discussed. One

person may want to fish for walleye and northern pike, while others may want to

go bass fishing. Since many northern lakes have water too cold for bass, you may

end up at a lake that would really disappoint the bass fisherman.

Do you want tons of action? Or trophy fish?

Some anglers simply enjoy catching lots of fish (most any size) with the hope of

getting a few big ones. Other fishermen would rather give up catching a large

quantity of fish for a better chance at catching the biggest fish they can find. You

need to decide which is more important to your fishing group... lots of fish that

maybe aren't the biggest or fewer fish but a greater chance of a really big one.

It should be noted that there are many places where you can do both... catch lots

of fish and get some big ones. But, these tend to be at the more remote and

pricey lodges and are not always feasible for many fishing groups.

How are you going to catch your fish?

Do you like to troll? Or drift? Fish in streams? Deep water fish?

We've seen people trolling in 60 feet of water thinking the fish were only a few

feet from the surface. Not much chance of catching anything this way. Be sure

you know the type of fishing your group prefers and that the lake will offer it.

What do you want to spend for this fishing trip?

The price you're willing to pay will have a great impact on the type of fishing trip

you'll have.

Be realistic. How much do you really want to spend? Are you comfortable in a tent

or tar-paper shack on a lake with great fishing?

Or would you prefer staying at a more upscale fishing lodge?

Do you want to cook for yourself... or do you want the fishing camp to do the

cooking?

And what about shower facilities? Are you willing to use a community shower or do

you want a private shower and bath in your own cabin. Gentlemen, if you're taking

your spouse on this trip, make absolutely sure you consider this one! If you don't,

it could spoil an otherwise great trip.

Other considerations are how long the trip will be and the type of fish you are

looking to catch. A trip to a fishing lodge on a lake with pan fish and bass will likely

be much cheaper that a trip to Alaska or Northern Canada for arctic char.

So, if you really want a great fishing trip, start by planning just exactly what you

want out of the trip and how much you are willing to spend. Do it right and you

can have the fishing trip of a lifetime.

Don't just make an off-the-cuff decision, put some time and thought into what

your 'perfect' fishing trip would be and start planning.

Short Review on fish store
O-Ring Yarn Indicators

Yarn O-Ring Indicators are a great way to detect strikes while fishing nymphs. The O Ring design allows you to attach the indicator without cutting the leader. To attach fold the leader in a loop small enough to fit through the O Ring. Push enough leader through the O Rig to allow the indicator to fit through. After the indicator has gone through the loop pull the leader snug to hold in place. To adjust push open the loop in the leader and slide the indicator as needed. Try Troutsmen Dry Fly Dressing on your indicators to keep them floating high on the water. If you'd like a specific color please make a note in your order comments and we'll try to get you that color if it's in stock.

Tropical Aquarium Fish - Zooxanthellae April 13th, 2008 These are green micro-algae which live in the skin of Anthozoa and other organisms, such as sponges or giant clams, a type of bivalve mollusk. They exchange substances with the cells of their hosts. The carbon dioxide (CO2) resulting from the metabolism of the cells - i.e. the oxidation of the foodstuffs - is collected by the Zooxanthellae. These, in their turn, absorb nitrogenous and phosphorous substances, carry out photosynthesis, and
