The Best Fly Fishing Spots In The World
The old saying is everyday of fishing is better than a day at work. Few of us would disagree with it. While that may be so, some days of fly fishing are better than others. Specifically, we are talking about fly fishing spots every angler talks about.

As you well know, there are thousands upon thousands of great spots to hit. Heck, I’ve fished in Siberia of all places. Caught mostly vodka, but that is another story. Regardless, picking 5 is difficult, so don’t send me blazing emails about how wrong I am!
1. Alaska. There is little doubt it is one of the last great wildlife spots in the world. Well south of Anchorage, the Bristol Bay area offers a bevy of fish ranging from salmon to trout, pike and more. Hit the various waterways dumping into the bay during the summer.
2. The Bahamas offer a bevy of fishing. When it comes to fly fishing, the flats off of North Andros Island are the best. The fish in the spotlight here is the bonefish. Fishing is good year around, but each shore of the island has a season so ask around.
3. British Columbia is beautiful and known for its fishing, specifically steelhead. The Skeena River system is ideal. Steelheads average 15 pounds and are plentiful in the tributaries. September through October is the best time, but watch for rising rivers.
4. Argentina has much more to offer than epic steaks. Sea run brown trouts upwards of 20 pounds are found on the Rio Grande. The season runs from Christmas to March. Hmmmmaybe it’s time to take a different kind of winter vacation!
5. The Green River in Utah is a controversial pick. It is an epic river with incredible fishing for trout. So, what could be the downside? The river gets busy with people. If you are looking to avoid the crowd, the Green River may be a bad choice these days.
These may not represent your top 5, but I guarantee a few days at any of these locations will have you reevaluating your top 5 list. Give any of them a try and you will not regret the decision to do so.
