Best Fishing Trips in the US/Canada

[iaengineer]

I fished all over the country. By far Venice or Grand Isle LA area would be on the top of my list. Spend one day offshore. Plus all the food is awesome.
Make sure you bring some big coolers for all the fish you take home.

You never know what you will catch. Last time I was there I had a tarpon take a trout I was reeling in I didn't land it but what a surprise.

Like Buzz said AK halibut would be at the top of my list but it would require flying in for the weekend.

Not a trophy hotspot but the white mountains in new hampshire sure are great. Yes there are some trophy streams that rival bigger names in canada, maine and vermont, but for me and my family it great. See a stream, pull off, cast a line catch a fish. It doesn't get any better.

Yellowstones many rivers is hard to beat as well.

Third for me would but any canal along alligator alley in south florida. Large mouth galore and even some peacock bass in spots. I guess I dig convenience.

Gulf of Alaska combo trip, bottom fish and salmon, mid to late July. I've fished a lot of places, and nothing compares to the trips I've done in the Gulf.

I live in pretty good fishing territory in Minnesota, but it is hard to beat a remote NW Ontario or Manitoba lake for walleyes and pike. MMMMmmmm. I can almost smell those walleyes frying up for shore lunch just thinking about it!

If you want more fight, then northern Minnesota muskie fishing can be world class. There are some big fishing being caught consistently (50 inches +).

I will second this, we did a Canada trip last summer. I can't wait to get back up there. Here's a little video of our trip.

I really want to go to northern Saskatchewan and fly fish for lake trout when they are in the shallows in the fall. If that didn't conflict with archery elk hunting my trip would already be booked.

Halibut out of Alaska, preferably Ketchikan! You get to shoot them before you land them in the boat, too.

The BWCA is heaven. Lived up there for 2 summers, visited for 10. it is so unknown to so many people.

Halibut, rock fish, cod, ling, salmon, all in a typical day..kodiak island. All good eating fish too. I would like to do a boundary waters trip though.

Agree...in fact headed back up to Kodiak in T-minus 19 days.
