If your idea of a vacation is fishing in a new place every year, you might already have at least a few locations in mind. However, at the same time, you might not be aware of some of the most serene locations ideal for fishing around the world. In that case, you have come to the right place.

In this post, we will share five of the best fishing trips to add to your bucket list today. 

1. The Snake River, USA

If you're an angler who loves the solitude that fishing offers, you'll revel in each moment spent on the Snake River in Yellowstone National Park. You can either stick to the more accessible parts, not far from the South Entrance to Yellowstone National Park. Or, if you genuinely want to experience the quiet and the calmness of this beautiful river, you should prepare to hike ten miles to get to the best, more remote sections.

You might end up catching brown trout or whitefish there, but the cutthroat are abundant in this river. So, if you don't mind the hike, you'll undoubtedly have an incredible fishing experience on the Snake River. You'll even love the peace and quiet. 

2. The Maldives

Although the Maldives is mainly advertised as a honeymoon destination with some of the world's most spectacular beaches, this lovely tropical archipelago also boasts a vibrant and bountiful marine life. Of course, this means that fishing there can be a memorable adventure. The coral reefs are home to many fish and other sea creatures, some of which would make a massive catch for you. In fact, Maldives is often talked about as the number one big-game fishing destination globally.

Catching tuna, barracuda, or swordfish is something you can surely hope for. Always keep in mind the strict fishing regulation of the archipelago. With such plentiful marine wildlife and sensational scenery, you'll enjoy every second of your fishing vacation there.

3. Narooma, Australia

Located on the South Coast of NSW, Narooma is a fisherman's paradise. In fact, the place appears to be built for fishermen, with its five boat ramps and a beautiful walkway all along Mills Bay. There are several excellent fishing spots where you can catch anything from whiting to flathead to salmon.

And if you've always imagined yourself catching a large kingfish or even a shark, the best opportunity to do so is to find the best private fishing charter Narooma has and spend your day indulging in some serious sport or game fishing. This is a smart option, as these charter boats cater to all your needs, including a fishing license, tackle, baits, refreshments, and even a helping hand for cleaning whatever you catch. You can do this on your own, with your family or friends, making the experience even more special for all of you.

4. Scotland, UK

Picking only one location in this stunning country would be pretty tricky, as it's rich with lakes and rivers, which any fisherman would adore. The peaceful and quiet surroundings are the perfect setting for an avid fisherman's holiday. You won't be disappointed whether you want to fish for trout or perch on Loch Tummel, rainbow fish in Craufurdland Fishery, or salmon on the river Ness.

Scotland will welcome all fishermen, amateur or experienced, especially if you're a fan of fly fishing. You may have to drive to some of the most appealing fishing locations in Scotland, perhaps get a boat charter, or even choose a helicopter ride to reach where you want to go, but you'll find these spots worth the thorough organization and the arrangements you make.

5. Alaska, USA

Probably the first place that pops into mind when you think of salmon fishing is Alaska. However, you should know that this state is far more versatile than you might be aware when it comes to fish species. For instance, the coast is an excellent place to catch some halibut, cod, rockfish, and even sharks, while rivers overflow with trout and salmon. Plus, there are many lakes and streams where you can catch Arctic grayling or Dolly Varden trout.

Suppose you want to fish in some of the more remote areas, where there is usually nobody else but you. You can go fishing in Alaska all year round, but if you're primarily interested in salmon, you should visit Alaska between May and September, as that's the spike of the salmon fishing season.
