 Saltwater Flyfishing Dream Vacation: Where Would You Go?
Posted by hedrush999 on Tuesday, October 17 @ 17:22:53 PDT
If time and money were no object, he he, and the only decision to be made was which ocean to fish, where would you go? I'm interested to hear why you would choose your location, as well as if anybody out there has visited someone elses dream spot.
Now as far as my dream spot goes, it isn't some super exotic place half way aroud the world. Lately for me, my enjoyment has been "hunting" fish with my fly rod. Visually locating my fish, and presenting a fly so well that it looks like a delicious meal is what gets me going. So I would have to choose the Bahamas as my dream location for the moment. Not just a single island, but all of them. Private plane, island hopping, thousands of bones...Yeah!

I have only gotten to do this once and would love to hunt those monsters in skinny water from a flats boat. If only money and time were not an object!!! |

I think I would like to see a Trevally at the
end of the line.
Although I once visited the Bahamas (New Providence Island) I did not fish there which
was a shame.
No, the ultimate expirience in my mind would be to travel from let's say Maine all the way to Texas and fish every well known location along the way.
A real saltwater flyfishing odyssey. |

by MarshallD (marshtd@adelphia.net) on Sunday, October 29 @ 15:18:48 PST http://www.flyanglersguide.com | Time and money no object...definately the Bahamas! Sight fishing..... Hal Lyman put it well in his preface to Fishing the Flats by Mark Sosin and Lefty Kreh..."the world of tidal flats...coral and turtle grass, shifting sands...Tarpon, exploding into the air with gill covers rattling, appears to be the size of a cow. The sizzling run of a bonefish melts line off the reel at an express rate. ...Here the breath of salt air may change the craving for a whiff of hemlock and spruce forever."
I want to spend as much time on the flats as I can. That's why I work. |
