Great Spots For Fly Fishing – Part 2

AsĀ  I had stated in the post earlier that there are literally thousands of places that you can enjoy fly fishing through out the globe, and there are just as many right here inside of the United States. That is why I wanted to continue from the last post about some of the fly fishing hot spots that you may want to look into visiting. I will only be giving you some of the highlights and the locations, if you need further information on them they are just a search query away from your favorite search engine, or you can find them at your local book store.

Start off with northeast Michigan, at the Au Sable River. In this river you will find a lot of types of trout, from brown to rainbow. There is also plenty of ground for you to cover and plenty of spots that you can test your luck at as this river goes for almost 200 miles. So there will be plenty of trout for you to try and catch there.

Head on over to Wyoming at the Wind River Range. You are sure to never run out of places to fish here as they have over 700 lakes that you can get all sorts of trout from. Not only that, if you want to take a break from fishing, you can do some hiking as most of these lakes are in the mountains, and some of these lakes you just may have to hike to :)

Another popular spot is Utah’s Green River, which is located in North East Utah. The Green River is also full of huge trout, and it is highly populated with tourist fishermen during the warmer months. If you want less competition and more trout, then head on over here during some of the cooler months such as winter, and there should be plenty of rainbow trout for you to fly fish for.

Head on down south to Georgia’s Jacks which flows into the Conasauga River which is right by the state line of Tennessee. Here you will find golden trout, rainbow and brown. Although there are a lot of hikers around in this area, there is also a lot of fishing to be done and very popular among fly fisherman.
If you want to stay south where it is fairly warm and head west a little bit you can check out San Juan River which is located in New Mexico. Here it is fairly warm year round, and the fly fishing here is also consistent year round. This place is really populated with trout, there are literally thousands of fish for every mile of river there is, if you have the money and the will to find some great fly fishing in the United States, then you should definitely check this place out.

As you can see there are plenty of places to fly fish in the United States, as this is the second post that I had to make and there will more than likely be another as there are so many hot spots that are in the U.S. to fly fish.
