Thanks...

He does flyfish. I think he'd really like Canada with a lodge and
guides and meals. Would that imply river or lake? I think he would
like river fishing better. I know he has done that in the past - and
gets to lakes frequently, so a river would be novel.

You can find lodges that do either and lodges that do both. A lot of
the north country is full of both still and running water.

Any suggestions on regions in Canada? Is salmon confined to one region
in Canada? I think I'll get all the siblings in on this so, the budget
is pretty open. I think what we will do is come up with a couple
different itineraries and then let him choose. (or he may have an idea
all his own).

There are two basic kinds of salmon and a few variations on them.
Atlantic and Pacific. Either coast or the Great Lakes will provide
salmon of one kind or another in the right season on the rivers that
flow into the seas or the Lakes.

I understand that fishing in Labrador is something extra special, but
the west coast of Canada is reputed to be great. That'd mostly be
British Columbia, if I recall my maps correctly.

And there's always Alaska. Some of the posters here have done some
lovely Alaska trips. I think you can catch any almost any kind of
trout or salmon up there.

Thanks for helping me narrow my focus and any additional advice would
be great!!
