Default Your Dream Trips

Bored with tying... Let's hear your dream locations if time and money were no object. Add some pics/videos for some background entertainment while I'm tying.

For me:
Mongolia for taimen, but mainly the isolation

Iceland, glaciers, volcanoes, hot springs, trout, what more do you want?

Kamchatka

And Brazil

Also Golden Dorado in Bolivia, after I catch them all in Argentine!

But I have been many places already, and I still have the most fun here in South Western Ab, hiking up and down these mountain streams!

But I can Dream...

Nothing beats a good day of fishing foothills and mountain streams at home in Alberta.

Remote destinations are fun but good fishing at home cannot be beat, for me anyway.

Come on spring, got way too many flies in my box...

That's getting right to the heart of it...

Sounds like there's some wonderful memories.

Default below the falls

All the above & I'll add New Zealand. The pools below ram falls has got to be the ultimate.

Default My dream trips

Not that I am tired of the Bow River (I am not) but I would love to fly fish:

Trout on the Test and the Itchen and the Beaverkill;
Atlantic Salmon on the Matapedia, the Margaree, and some of the premier rivers in Norway;
Brook trout on the French River in Ontario;
Sea-run browns in Labrador or the Burin Peninsula in Newfoundland;
Largemouth bass in the Ozarks.

Been to Iceland, and the fishing was really cool. For the 2 hours I got to fish (before the torrential rainstorm), it was an amazing experience. My guide was a great guy and a great conversationalist.

My next dream trip would be here:
