There are hundreds of locations around the world that are simply excellent locations to enjoy. You will see that many of them are listed here. Others, like the favorite one that you have may not be. There are many unique ways that you too can enjoy the waters the world has to offer.
Consider Manitoba, Canada
The area is known as Land of Lakes that have served to produce many trophy fish. Both still and fly fishing pros love the location. In Manitoba, you'll catch some of the best northern pike and they will give you a good fight too. They strike hard and fast on the Daredevil lure. You can use flies with a good amount of success. You'll also find brook and brown trout, rainbow as well as perch and pickerel. Go in the spring or the fall for the best fishing vacation here.
Good Old Long Island, New York
Here, you'll find Montauk Point. Some of the world's top naturalists have come to the conclusion that this is the place to find the most fish in the world. The point is a glacial cliff and you'll find tuna, cod, mackerel, marlin, striped bass and white shark here. It also features the oldest lighthouse in the states. An inside tip is to cast from the rocks below the lighthouse and you'll get some of the best fishing out there. Although spring and fall are the best times to go, you can come during the summer too.
Wyoming, USA
If you are looking to catch trophy trout in the US, a vacation to Yellowstone National Park is a must. Slough Creek is full of trophy trout, as are other streams within the Park's boundaries, and they are all stocked regularly. Streams and rivers outside of the Park also offer great fishing opportunities, as do the waters of nearby Idaho and Montana. Wyoming is home to 62 native species, including Arctic grayling, burbot, channel catfish, shiners, chub, several trout species, suckers, goldeneye, mountain whitefish, shovelnose sturgeon, and a wide variety of smaller fish.
The Florida Keys
The Florida Keys offer a wide range of fishing opportunities. People come all year round to catch them. In fact, Hemingway himself fished here. The waters are still as excellent as they were then too. You'll find tarpin and bonefish in the Marquesas Islands. You'll find blue marlin, King mackerel, sailfish, yellowfin, shark snapper, and a wide range of others here too.
Head To Hampshire, England
Head just outside of London to get some of the best fly fishing opportunities. Here you'll find trout and Atlantic salmon. Check out the Itchen and Test rivers too although they are on a private island and you'll need to pay to get in, they are excellent opportunities nonetheless. You'll find trout fisheries here, too.
Try Missouri, USA
Go to the Ozark Mountains of Missouri. Here, you can catch bass under the limestone bluffs. You'll find that the river itself has over two hundred different species including bass, channel catfish, sunfish, bullheads, muskellunge, walleye, shad, perch and trout. You'll find more fish here than anywhere in the US.
Here are some tips for you.
Don't take with you all of your equipment unless you really want to. You'll find guide services will provide you with everything that you need.
They can also provide the necessary fishing licenses for you too. Get your information from here too. Make sure if you plan to go out of country that you are allowed to export and import the fish, though.
You can always ask other anglers where they like to fish. Some of the best locations for fishing are in those small, hideouts that are closely guarded secrets!

We're small, but our products are already making more than a few ripples. By rethinking product design from the ground-up, we've created an impressive line up of fly-fishing storage products and accessories that look great, and outperform anything else available on the market. We started with a few simple ideas: design and create a tippet dispenser, develop an innovative cutting tool or clipper, and reshape the fly storage category with the creation of a series of soft-sided cases and chest packs. Our simple ideas turned into very complex design obstacles and challenged some of the best industrial designers in the country, yet we've succeeded with our vision and created a line of revolutionary accessory products that will stand the test of time. Fishpond is all about design and function . We are the first to bring a functional tippet dispenser to the market-one that stores, straightens, cuts and dispenses tippet material directly from most commercially manufactured freshwater tippet spools. Look for our saltwater version in the coming months. Tired of plastic and aluminum fly boxes? We've also created an entirely new product category with our molded nylon and soft-sided fly cases. With ease-of-use in mind, brightly colored jacquard webbing on the spine serves as a hand strap to securely hold the case while on the water. This gives our cases their signature style and unparalleled function. To keep us on the cutting edge, we're redefining the accessory segment with revolutionary products like our patented, ergonomically designed Titanium Clippers with optional integrated retractor that make competitive tools based on the traditional nail clipper obsolete. Our research has told us that fly-fishing enthusiasts want to lighten their load. In response to this trend, fishpond has created two new chest/fanny packs that can complement or replace the traditional fishing vest. Each product has our signature zip-down "fly bench" with a replaceable foam fly page that serves as a convenient fly changing station and work area. At fishpond, we're committed to staying on the leading edge of fly-fishing product design, and we're already hard at work on the next generation of new products to enhance our position as an emerging leader with our dealer-partners and customers. Fishpond is connected to the past and it's timeless traditions, but its focus is on making designs for the fly-fishing enthusiast that will endure the future. We're committed to our dealer-partners and consumers at every level, and want to earn your trust and support by offering quality service, delivery and creativity.

We practice responsible stewardship and believe that every small act counts. We call it the "Ripple Effect"-the collective impact of individuals performing in an environmentally conscious manner and leading to lasting change-in thinking, in deeds and in results. Conservation of our natural world is a shared responsibility and we are proud fishpond is creating its own ripples in 2008. We're starting small-looking for ways to reduce our footprint on the environment while continuing to provide the highest levels of quality and value in every fishpond product. From an examination of our source materials to an analysis of our business processes, we're committed to being thorough and more cognizant of our impact as a company. We're confident these steps will yield positive results for both our company and our environment. With each step forward-each new ripple we create-we move closer to becoming a company that embodies our vision for what the fishpond brand can be.

Fishing with a bamboo rod is one of the great experiences in angling. Bamboo is a proven natural material that lets us make rods with incredible touch and feel, as well as superb line and loop control. For over 75 years, the name Winston has been synonymous with fine, handcrafted bamboo fly rods. As evidenced by our introduction of the new, moderately priced Pentagonal series, our commitment to this material remains unwavering. Creating bamboo rods is a cumulative process. Years of testing, design refinements, study and knowledge that has been passed down from rod builder to rod builder go into every one. Winston bamboo rods are far more than things of beauty, they are extraordinary fishing instruments. PENTAGONAL RODS These trout rods feature crisp, smooth actions.
