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 with any top 5 list, it is important to note this is a very subjective point of view. Everyone has their particular opinion, and should be respected. My opinion is paramount here because, of course, I'm the one writing the article after all!

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. I love Chili and I am not talking the food. Chile has fjords in the south of the country. You hit the coast, get a guide and a zodiac boat and just explore the little rivers. Everything from salmon on can be found. An incredible experience.

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. Now there is a destination you might not think of with fly fishing. Well, the Rio Traful is a river in Patagonia with landlocked Salmon! The fishing is so good that President Eisenhower fished there and Ted Turner owns a big ranch on the river.

5. A personal favorite is Redding, California. The idea of there being good fly fishing in California may sound strange to some, but the small rivers around this area are a blast and uncrowded. Salmon, trout, bass are all on the menu to mention a few.

Well, there you have it. One man's opinion on the top spots for anglers to dream about. Getting to these locations actually isn't that expensive, so start saving now for the trip of your life.
