Hi,

The Mighty Mo ( Missouri river) is a must, some amazing dry fly fishing there.

I'm sorry I can't recall the specific name of the place I heard about in BC, but my bucket list item is a lodge that offers both fly fishing and pheasant hunting. There are a few around. Would be amazing.

Of course there are also the exotic destinations like the Russian far east or Patagonia in Argentina. Doubt I'll ever do those without lottery winnings.

I think that place is up around Terrace or Smithers, right?

The Ledges Inn on the Miramichi River in New Brunswick offer fly fishing for atlantic salmon and pheasant hunting.

All over Yellowstone is a must.

The Green River in Utah. Some of the guides feel it beats New Zealand fishing...

I was hard to get used to walking by hundreds of rising fish to get to the "good" holes...

Great trails and different red rock views. It is really special.
