Fly Fishing

Fly fishing is considered a sport or a hobby by some, and an art form by others. Call it what you want, fly fishing is a pleasurable pastime built on the camaraderie of the anglers themselves, the oceans, lakes and rivers they fish, and the beautiful fish they pursue. In the U.S., fly fishermen spend most of their time pursuing trout, particularly rainbow trout. Other types of trout include golden, steelhead, brown, brook and lake trout. There’s nothing better than the push and pull of a fly line, and the sight of a fish rising to take that perfectly placed fly.

Freshwater Bass Fishing

Bass fishing is one of the most popular types of angling in the U.S., particularly popular in the Southeast. Fishing for largemouth bass is a vacation choice good both for inexperienced anglers and skilled competitors. That is not to say bass fishing is easy, just not overly complicated. Bass are worthy adversaries, often hungry, and willing to fight back when hooked. That combination has seen the prevalence of bass fishing rise tremendously over the past 50 years.
