So, if you could fish any location (with the exception of your home waters), where would it be, and why that location?
Thanks for your responses.
Byron,
I do fish where I really want to, the rivers in the great state of Montana. Mostly the western rivers, over to central Montana. Rivers like the Clark Fork, the Big Hole, the Missouri and the Yellowstone. It is really hard to go wrong with them.

Love the Madison, but hard to beat the beauty of the Lamar Valley. Those cutthroat trout of Slough Creek or
Soda Butte are a favorite of my wife and me. We get out that way every 2-3 years and next year should be our next trip. When not there though the Catskills keep me very content and satisfied.

When I was a kid I wanted to be like Lee Wulff and discover the next new undiscovered blue ribbon fishery.
Still feel the same way.

I would pick the Snake River somewhere between Wyoming, Idaho and Oregon. Why because it is overlooked to some extent by other trout rivers in Wyoming and Montana and offers the angler lots of species of both warm and cold river fish. I have caught cuttthroats over 4 lbs, channel cats, crappie, carp, whitefish to name less than half the species in that river. Verity would insure lack of boredom.

Look into Hubbards Yellowstone Lodge. Next June will be my forth trip
Private lake with big fish & 17 miles from North gate to the park.

Southern Florida.
I enjoy fishing for many different fish species, and Florida has them in abundance…in fresh, brackish and salt waters.
They’ve got just about everything EXCEPT freshwater trout, salmon, char and grayling. Those are great species too,…so my 2nd choice would be Alaska. 
Perhaps Wyoming ( need I explain?)_

I can’t remember the name of the creek, but it is off the Denali Highway at the west end. Beautiful spot and willing Grayling. Had a ball unit I blew out a tire in the rental car. The spare developed a slow leek so I had to hightail it back to civilization before I got stuck in the middle of nowhere. Ended up eating lunch in junkyard waiting for the only guy in the area that could fix a flat. Anyway, always dreamed of going back and catching my fill.
I long ago gave up on “destination” flyfishing, and just fish the same old places (which, admittedly, are destinations for some folks). The fishing wasn’t any BETTER in those famous places. It was just different. But not different enough for me to spend much money getting there, hiring guides, buying flies, staying in lodges, and the like.
When I think about questions like this I think more about with whom I would like to fish. My choice would be Musquash Pond in NH with my buddy John, who kindled the love of fly fishing in me so many years ago.
spring creek fishing at it finest at no tellem creek in Idaho somewhere,
Kelly K knows too --
Be safe
You talking about drive off in ditch creek by any chance, thats in Wyoming right?
It did have a nice view of the Tetons as I recall
Since it’s an ‘If You Could’ question, I’d have to say Ireland. The creek where Ward Bond’s character, Father Peter Lonergan, was fishing and hooked up when the donnybrook between Sean Thornton (John Wayne) and Squire Danaher ( Victor McLagen) broke out in “The Quiet Man.” The ‘Why’ is because I have always liked that scene.

Anywhere in Alaska.
I have an extensive list. I need to live a very long time to get everything checked off!
A Chalk Stream or two in Europe…just to say I did it.
I would just love to be able to fish…got another 3 months until I can.
As we move into another Michigan winter with highs today below freezing my thoughts turn to New Zeeland. I’ve seen pictures of some very nice browns there and as we almost share the same language it would be better than some of the other southern hemisphere destinations.
