The U.S.' Most Loved Fly Fishing Vacation Spots

By Benjamin Rowe


You will be hard-pressed to find a better confluence of leisure and sport than that form of angling called fly fishing. While it does require a greater breadth of skills than other types of fishing, it still will not require you to jump fifty inches vertically or throw a ball close to a hundred miles per hour. But leave us face it, it is difficult to find somebody like us who loves fly fishing above all other sports. You can even say this is an "elite" activity that goes beyond the casual tastes of the average member of the fishing hoi polloi. So complicated is fly fishing compared to conventional fishing that the casual observer may even consider it anathema. That is why there are not a lot of top locations that are specific to fly fishing but there are some and that means a lot of action for the few that will make the trip.

Madison Valley River provides a great place for a fly fishing vacation. There are several cabins that are allocated only for the fly fishing parties that come in. The quality of fishing is not quite nonpareil, but close to it. Trout can be found in this river in abundance, and depending on the time of the year you go fishing, you could reach your quota in just a few hours.

Yellowstone River makes the best of a fly fishing vacation. Year after year, people flock from everywhere in the world to get their dose of fly fishing, which, in our esteem, is some of the best fly fishing available. Crowd trouble or any other inconvenience pertaining to crowds are nonexistent, so you can have more fun and more frolic as you make your way to the fly fishing vacation area either on foot or by boat ride, the only two options you have.

South Fork Snake River is third on our list of different fly fishing vacation spots you might want to consider. The main problem is the fact that so many know about it and it can be hard for you to get a spot. You need to make your reservations at least one year in advance, and all you get is one short week of fishing. But if you come to think of it, this should be the least of your problems due to the fact that Snake River offers nonpareil fishing quality, with achieving your limit just about as easy as tying your shoe laces.

Fourth on our list of best fly fishing spots, in no particular order, is Henry's Lake. Prepare yourself to catch some gargantuan fish that can put up a formidable challenge once hooked. There is more than enough room to stay and you can have a cabin for up to one month. However, because license costs in the state of Idaho are going up, you might want to reserve sooner rather than later.

Big Hole lake is probably one of the largest areas to take a fly fishing vacation. Since there is merely enough room for the large number of people it attracts each year, you might want to be on the lookout for huge crowds if you visit during peak travel season. Early spring is best and offers some great action.
