The big fishing vacation is no different Than the big golfing vacation. I have done both, more with the latter. A lot more in my day. Now, I do desire to visit other countries or other parts of the US with my wife. They are great vacations. Not all fishing or golfing as my wife dabbles in both, but is not fanatic in either. Soaking up the local stuff between seeking trout or the occasional good golf shot are part of the journey. Sure, I have good farm ponds here in Kansas and trophy trout only 6 hours away, but the journey is the thing.
