Default A ishing thread

I - or we have changed some plans due to some financial and other reasons
My grandchildren 11 and 8 are getting older and growing up
(I must be getting older also)
so
I am faced w a choice of fishing trips

Take one " exotic " trip and as many as I want locally MT. WY and ID
or take one w a grandchild at a lodge w a guide
My grand daughter will be 12 in Dec and she is very mature for her age - She
of course matured faster that her brother
Her brother is still a terror as I was at his age but Alexis is willing and
quite anxious to go
We would go for 6-7 days 4 -5 of them fishing days I figure and extra 2 for
flying over and above say 6-7 days or so at a lodge with a guide
Wherever we go I will hire a guide full time on the water as I want to be
certain Alexis is 100% safe
It will be next July or August

This will be our first trip so I want her to catch fish but most importantly
, have fun and a great time
Me
I want a King on a fly rod

I figure Patagonia, New Zealand and Russia are too far for a week or a
little more and I do not want to go to Mexico

Here is my question for this group and my choices so far -

Kodiak Island - I have a couple of places in mind the Agfoniak Lodge
Labrador - large Bookies and I always wanted to go - no guide nor place in
mind as yet

Elsewhere in Alaska?? My king salmon dream We have friends near Anchorage
I did not like the area I would like to see Nome - suggestions of places
and guides for Alaska are welcome

Oregon Coast for salmon and steelies - steelie fishing may not be for her

Atlantic Salmon - Mirimachi and other rivers - Atlantic salmon are 1,000,000
casts per catch!
Lodges are expensive but nice

Iceland - I have been there - also very expensive for a good beat on a
river
She would love Reykjavik -

I would like a place where there are other things for her to do besides fish
- ride?
Another option would be a ranch by Yellowstone - but that may be too much
like home

I always wanted to see Prince Rupert and Smoothers -suggestions there are
welcome as is all of BC and Alberta

Any other ideas or suggestions even for specific outfitters are appreciated
in advance -

Merci
Fred
