Few of us will have had the opportunity to enjoy a fishing trip along with the entire family at a fishing resort, camp or even on the seas on a fishing charter. Many American families plan fishing vacations regularly, at least once a year. Fishing vacations have become a way of life with Americans some much so that there are fishing companies that have invested heavily in infrastructure that will lure the American angler to their fishing destinations. You decide how much you are willing to spend on a fishing trip. It does not matter how much your budget can stretch, any fishing vacation is worth the effort and time and any one can have as much fun on any fishing trip.

A fishing vacation can be taken during any time of the year and are a great way to enjoy the splendors of nature. Fishing camps are a wonderful way to spend a fishing vacation. You can choose to take your own family tent or rent a modern cabin that offers all the amenities an apartment house in the city would, including housekeeping. You may be an amateur fisherman or an experienced angler, but the proper planning is what is necessary to make a fishing trip successful. By ‘successful’ we do not mean that you need to catch that prize trophy fish for your mantle place, but you just need to have a lot of fun with the family with the least amount of discomfort and hassle.

For a successful fishing vacation you will need to plan and acquire the equipment you must have, and the lodging requirements. IF you are letting a fishing resort do all the planning for you just have to get yourself over there and let them lay the facilities open for you. But if you are going about it on your own, you must do a bit of research, like the kind of weather conditions you might face, the transportation and the food you will need.

Camping out can be the most exciting fishing experience you and your family will ever have. There are scores of fishing locations to choose from. If you are in the US the best place to cast your hook, line and sinker in some often most alluring fishing spots in Canada, this is like fishing in your own back yard compared to the lengths anglers will travel to get that prized catch. Canada is the land of lakes and fishing locations. Species like Trout, Pike and Salmon are in abundance and some of the best trophies have been caught here. In the United States itself you will be able to find some good fish like the Merlin, Mackerel, Sailfish and Tarpin. You do not rally need to go very far when it comes to locating the game you are after. You also do not have to take your whole collection of fishing gear along with you on any trip. You are bound to find fishing companies and services ready to hire you the best fishing gear the game on the area demands. So it is not important to lug all that gear with you on any of your fishing vacations.

My friend Bob is always looking for the next great adventure. Recently he took a trip up to Alaska and spent a week at a fishing camp. When he returned he seemed almost disappointed to be home. It turns out that he had the best vacation of his life and had enough stories about the “one that got away” to last a lifetime. No sooner was he back then he was talking about planning his next getaway to the northern state.

Alaska is well known not only in America but all over the world for it’s fantastic landscape, beautiful scenery and it’s great hunting and fishing opportunities. Every year hunters from Japan, England, Germany Scandinavia and a lot of other countries are heading toward Alaska for fishing and hunting adventures or just for great outdoor experiences.

Bob spent a week at a fishing lodge up in Alaska. It was hard to tell if he enjoyed the comforts of the lodge in the evening or the amazing saltwater and ice fishing he did during the day. You see, the cold, deep oceans that surround that region make it one of he best fishing spots in the world. Bob told me that on any given day he would catch at least a dozen fish that were worth bringing back. Of course, he did just that much to his wife’s chagrin when he packed about two dozen of them in dry ice and had it send back home via overnight courier. Keeping the fish as fresh as possible is the big challenge for every fisherman. Fortunately Alaska has a well built apparatus of courier services due to requirements from the thousands of sport fishermen that need their catch brought home in a fresh condition.

Spending a week with fellow fishing enthusiasts from around the world he learned some of the tricks of the trade that he says he can’t wait to get out on the water and try locally. Of course, no fishing getaway adventure would be complete without tales of the “big one that got away” and as his friends and co-workers can attest he has been filling them in on the stories on a daily basis.

An avid fisherman myself I am going to take Bob up on his advice and next summer will join him for a getaway to see how many tall tales I can come back with – and who knows, maybe I’ll catch a fish or two.

I want to go camping for spring break and try to do some fishing there too. My friends and I will be in Delaware, and we want to take a road trip somewhere at least 10 hours away.

Preferable somewhere a bit warmer than Delaware and preferably somewhere where we can catch fish, camp, have a fire, and do all that fun camping stuff. If alcohol is permitted, that would be highly favorable!

My boyfriend and I would like to, sometime this summer, go to Nova Scotia, and go one a fly fishing trip. I am not a fisher myself, but love the outdoors and I have always wanted to go camping, tent and everything! I need some advice on how to go about planning. Can you rent tents? How do you find a place to camp near lakes, rivers, etc.
