The VERY best fly fishing destination?
 

My wife asked me, "if you couild go anywhere in the world for a fly fishing
vacation, where would you want to go?"

I answered immediately, "The Seychelles!"

Then I got to wondering if that is really the very best, since I have never
been there or any really exotic fly fishing locals.. So fellow Roffians, how
about your opinions on the absolute ultimate fly fishing destination -- IF
money was not a consideration, where would you go now with 9/11 and all?

Good choice. Haven't been there...but *have* spent 4 weeks on 3 seperate
trips to Christmas Island. Much more primitive than the accomodations on the
Seychelles; but the fishing is fantastic...at 1/3rd the cost. Add in the
(underutilized) blue water (Giant Trevally and Yellowfin Tuna) and you've
gota great place...friendly natives too.

Still.....if money were no object (nice to dream, huh?) it'd be the
Seychelles, hands down.

it wouldn't cost me much at all; and 9/11 can't be relevant, if we want
to live free. so, i would say, hazel creek, with guaranteed good weather,
in early may, staying at the ranger cabin, and turning back the clock to
1975. of course, i would want ol jeffie to have already started trout
fishing, and renda mcrae speight would have to be there...

oh; wait a minute--i thought you asked me where i wanted to spend

So how abot a few hints on how you got it to cost 1/3 of the
Seychelles? I presume that makes it cheaper than the Bahamas.

Sounds good, but with money as no object, I'd be thinking Iceland for
atlantics, or Great Bear Lake for lakers, pike, and greyling.

I just got asked this last summer. For me, the thrill of exotic locations
and new sights is no longer a draw....I'd want to be back 'home'. Also, the
novelty of meeting new people or being introduced to unusual cultures is
also no longer a real draw...give me the familiar sights, smells and sounds
of the old stomping grounds.

Four or five summers ago, Kevin, Mark and I (my best friends from college,
20 years ago) did week-long canoe trip down the St Croix river on the
Maine/Canada border. World class bass fishing, with fish taken on almost
every cast. I guided that river for many years, so getting to take my buds
on that water, and fish to our hearts content, was the best summer in many
years. We were spin-casting at the time as I had not started flyfishing yet,
so for me, money being no object and any destination being possible, get me
in a canoe for a 2-week St Croix trip with Mark and Kevin, 8-ft 4wts, a
couple boxes of dries, and some sunny days. Anyone can go to the Seychelles,
but not anyone can get out with their best buds on familar water and just be
at home!

Chris,

I'd go to the Kola peninsula and fish for brown trout in an area that still
hasn't seen all that many fly fishermen (let alone people).
Since there's an abundance of places I wish to go I'd also ask the weather
gods for nice weather and while I'm at it don't forget plenty of insects
(preferrably other than mosquitoes).
If I can't go there I'd like to go to Patagonia or New Zeeland or Alaska or
Greenland or Iceland or Kamchatka or.................well, you get my
meaning.

I know for most it is not much of a stretch, but fo me...
Alaska. Hands down.
I even tried to think of another place, but really... Alaska.
Funny thing is, I don't even care where. Just as long as the fishing
is good and there is not sight or sound of civilization, one good

Steve's right....the town is London. When I checked it would have been $9000

In my 50 years of flyfishing, I've found the best spot, but I'm not telling
anyone about it. Most days produce 40-50 of the most rip-snortin' natives
you could dream of. Over the last 25 years it's been discovered by too many

I think answers are more useful about places the writer has been to.
I've heard of lots of places, but most of them, when I got there,
weren't what I'd expected.

My favourites are

Some of the small mountain streams in Corsica
The river Wylie, in Wiltshire
The Finn, in Donegal

I think answers are more useful about places the writer has been to.
I've heard of lots of places, but most of them, when I got there,
weren't what I'd expected.

My favourites are

Some of the small mountain streams in Corsica
The river Wylie, in Wiltshire
The Finn, in Donegal

The VERY best fly fishing destination?

My wife asked me, "if you couild go anywhere in the world for a fly fishing
vacation, where would you want to go?"

I answered immediately, "The Seychelles!"

Then I got to wondering if that is really the very best, since I have never
been there or any really exotic fly fishing locals.. So fellow Roffians, how
about your opinions on the absolute ultimate fly fishing destination -- IF
money was not a consideration, where would you go now with 9/11 and all?

I'm thinking of moving ot Victoria or thereabouts. Good fishing, maby
not the best in the world, but not bad.

Yeah, if BushCo steals the election again this time Canada sounds
like a good option for me too. And Ireland, I've always been fond
of Ireland.

Well, if I could take the money that a trip to the Seychelles would
cost and instead use it as a grubstake to live off, I'd take 4 months
off work and plop myself alongside of a little trout river for the
entire time. Watch the seasons and the bugs move through their
respective cycles. Catch fish. Eat some of them. Sleep. And then sleep
some more. Watch the sun set/night fall over the same horizon 120 days
in a row. Get on familiar terms with the local flying squirrels,
porkies and garter snakes.

Did I mention sleep?
