Default If you could fish anywhere..........

This should be a fun one.

If you could go fishing ANYWHERE in the world for ANY species of fish what would you choose??

There is alot to choose from and I'm sure many minds could be swayed after hearing what everyone else's thoughts are.

I'm going to have to say to Florida for Tarpon. Preferably on the fly.

A close second at the time is to the Fraiser for big geon's.

Great topic!

Before I leave this world, I chase the biggest brookies in the world on the Minipi River in Labrador. They average 5-8lbs! We almost made it once as a stupid teenage roadtrip, but just couldn't round up enough cash. Simply an unbelievable fishery. They dry fly 'em with freakin' mouse patterns cast into the grass on the opposite shore and drop them in to get slammed! Good times

Now my second choice is a lake in Argentina named Jurasic. Biggest rainbows on earth. Only just learned about the place, and will fish it one day when I can finally do a red stag bowhunt! Dare to dream.......

amazon river for whatever bites!

In Canada I'd settle for some muskie fishing in lake of the woods/kenora.... This i think might come true this year.Well hopefully next fall.

Muskies on LOTW
Brookies in Fortress
Mako Sharks off the Florida Keys

And bonefish/barracuda on the flyrod too maybe.

The above 3 will happen, though.

I grew up on southern ontario. Moved away when I was 20. There is some good bass fishing there, but to be honest the more north of lake ont you go the better. southern ont is so over fished it makes me sick to think about it.

Default Dream fishin spot

I would love to try ( as I am sure BBJ would ) for

Pangassi Boukourei ( shark fin catfish ) in the Mekong

river in Vietnam ... Run to about 300 lbs with average

150 lbs...You can buy their distant cousins in Safeway

called BASA fillet . They are farmed in the Mekong Delta ......Apparently they find some interesting

objects in these when filleted ...You dont use chicken livers

for these cats , probably the whole chicken

Default It is Mozambique hands down

Everything I heard about the fishing is that it is exceptional.

The political situation may be different though.
