Top 5 fly fishing places

5. Henry`s Folk Near Last Chance, Idahto
Considered by many to be America's greates trout stream, "the rapid runs and pocket water of Box Canyon hold large rainbows, but it's the 'Railroad Ranch' section that's notorious for its prolific insect hatches and picky fish (those that eclipse 20 inches). Opening day in mid-June draws fly fishing's best and brightest."
Fish caught there: Rainbow Trout, Yellowstone & Snake River Cutthroat Trout, Brown Trout, Mountain Whitefish, Arctic Grayling

4. Nakalilok Bay Alaska
The site of one of Alaska's most isolated coastal fishing camps "is one of the world's best places to pursue ocean-fresh silver salmon. The silvers show a proclivity toward a pink fly called a pollywog, which they follow on the surface before slamming (engulfing the fly). Once hooked, they cartwheel frantically.Alaska is home to some of the great fly fishing. Nakalilok Bay on the Pacific side of the Alaska peninsula offers remote, uncrowded fishing you can only dream of.

3. Martha's Vineyard Massachusetts
"Striped bass are a big target of New England saltwater fly fishers and this is one of the best spots to pursue them. The Vineyard boasts 125 miles of shoreline, providing ideal striper habitat. When you see squid or baitfish jumping clear of the water, bass wait below. Cast in the middle of the melee and hold on." Cool spring mornings, hot summer nights, and the wild storms of autumn are all a part of fly fishing on the Vineyard.

2. North Umpqua River Oregon
"Since the 1930s, presidents and potentates have plied these clear waters for wary steelhead. Hooking a steelhead here is one of fly fishing's great rewards: long casts and delicate mends often are necessary to entice fish. But when a 10-pounder erupts on your dry fly and tail-walks (streaks) downstream, it's all worthwhile." Is renowned for emerald green waters and its summer steelhead activity, as well as for its salmon runs. Its summer steelhead fishery is considered one of the best on the West Coast.

1. Green River Utah
"The river provides ideal conditions for growing big trout quickly. In the first 7 miles below Flaming Gorge Reservoir, populations of browns, rainbows and cutthroats can approximate 14,000 trout per mile, each averaging 16 inches. Water clarity allows you to watch the fish as they investigate your offering."
