Dream Fishing Trip... What would your's be?

Dear FTF Member,
Support FTF by Subscribing to Hatches Today! 2011 Issue - In Stock
Since 2003 FlyTyingForum.com has grown from a handful of people to 30,000 registered members and has become the largest fly tying community in the world. In 2007 I published the first issue of Hatches because I felt the FTF community could offer a printed magazine that far exceeds anything the fly tying world has ever seen published. To this day, Hatches is largely made up of articles submitted to me by FTF member and FTF will continue to play a large role in the future of Hatches. Hatches truly is a grassroots effort, unlike many of the other publications in circulation that have the backing of large media corporations. The future of both Hatches and FTF depends on the support of FTF members like you. For $7 a year, you not only help ensure that I have the resources needed to be able to offer you all of the features you enjoy today free of charge, you also get 96 pages of pure fly tying awesomeness that is worth the price by itself. Click Here for Subscription Info Thank You -Will

I was just wondering what everyone's dream fishing trip is?

So the question is if you hit the lottery and had enough money to take your dream fishing trip, where would it be? what type of fish would you be catching? where would you be catching these fish?

For me i would always love to go up to Maine and fish for the various types of fish up there from smallmouth bass, to landlock salmon, stripers, and some beautiful and big brook trout.

Every since i was about 5 my family and i have been going up to Maine for 2 weeks every summer and its just beautiful land.

Lotto huh....I would buy an RV and every place I hear or heard of in Canada and the US becomes a stopping point. Of course it would have to be a huge RV to accommodate all the necessary rods reels and fly tying equipment.
I'll fish for anything I tell ya!!!

I just bought a powerball ticket half an hour ago. After I win it Saturday, I will keep y'all posted on the dream trips.
If I was an "expert" people would be paying me to do this stuff. I just like to do what works.

Depending on how big my winnings were... I would buy/build a cabin in both Patagonia and Kamchatka and fly back and forth on my personal jet between the two.

I've already had one dream trip to Ascension Bay in Mexico about ten years ago. I would love to go to either Iceland or Patagonia, maybe after I retire...

It would be anywhere I could fish for steelhead. That is my dream fish and on my bucket list to go somewhere out with the bears and catch and release a slab of a fish!
