The bride and I just got back from Italy, Greece, and Turkey. A fine and wonderful trip, but sadly included no fishing experiences. Our next trip is as soon as we get enough frequent flier points to cover airfare for two (probably in about 3 - 6 months) and then I then will set the itinerary. We've agreed on Britain and Ireland as destinations. Of course my thoughts immediately turned to English chalk streams and Irish salmon rivers, but have never been involved in either type of fishing.

This posting starts my research. Any suggestions on guides, finances, best time to go, equipment, etc.?

Anyone's thoughts or suggestions would be deeply appreciated.
