My Dream fishing situation are the oil rigs off of louisiana or halibut fishing in alaska... halibut just cuz its awesome but oil rigs just because the amount of diversity and big fish you can catch pretty much at will, HUGE snapper, grouper, chances of kings, cobia, amberjack, triggers, EVERYTHING haha
both of those sounds really nice. I love saltwater fishing. Too bad its so far away!!
My list:
The Amazon - Lots of awesome species for both the angling and aquarium hobbies, such as Piraiba, Arapaima, Dorado, and Sorubim. Plus a major show on how much more money Brazil could make out of tourism and fishing in this region as opposed to dams and horrible infrastructure/agricultural practices.
The Mekong - A lot of Awesome fish species and with lots of angling potential. Mekong Giant Catfish, Mekong Giant Stingray, Mahseer, Goonch, and, if your luck, a Mekong Salmon Carp. Plus, again, another major show on how much more Money the Mekong countries can make out of tourism and fishing in this region.
Gatun Lake - Heard there's some good Cichla Pleiozona fishing here.
Alaska/Pacific Northwest - Salmon are awesome.
Frazier River - White Sturgeon are awesome.
Siberia - Think of fishing for species found in both Europe and Asia in common waters. Yellowcheek and Taimen are really good fishing, I hear.
Siargao del Norte - Awesome fishing for Marlin, Sailfish, Dourado (Dolphin Fish), Tuna, and Mackerel
China could probably also learn a thing or two, what with them having Hucho Bleekeri, the massive Chinese Sturgeon, and a number of interesting fish like the Yellowcheek and Predatory Carps. I'd mention Chinese Paddlefish, but we don't even know if they're still out there and even then, we're more likely to get them successfully cloned within the next ten years than we are to find them within the next 5 months.
Pretty much yeah.

Although I love the fishing just down the road from me, I would have loved to go with our friends that just left for the xingu river. I tied up a bunch of flies for him to use down there, should be fun.
But I'm curious, none of you fella's ever fished the north west? We got 5 kinds of salmon, the biggest rainbows around, steelhead in the 30lbs range, halbut to over 300lbs, the chance for white sturgeon in the 10ft range, what more could you ask for.
Nice little red spring salmon
My buddy with a nice little sturgeon fomr a few weeks back
that is where i would go.
Fly fishing in Kamchatka , Russia, New Zealand, and Patagonia
but that's the short list. I have one about a mile long, but to be honest, anywhere with good fishing, good friends, and scenery is dandy to me!
