A Wonderful Holiday Fishing

The fishing up the waters of the east coast of America
offers the most diverse and splendid fishing that will
satisfy even the most avid angler. The waters change from
the tropical colours of the Florida Keys through to icy
wastes of northern Quebec. There are many companies
offering holidays throughout the different areas and you
really are spoilt for choice. Literally whatever package
you put together can be made possible for you (at a cost!).
Here are a few ideas to get the creative juices flowing:
Florida Keys or the 'Fishing Capital of the World'. Here
you find the warm gulf stream waters that provide a home to
some of the finest areas of coral in the world, offering
not only the ultimate in 'sunny clime' fishing but
wonderful scuba diving and snorkelling. It's therefore an
ideal place for a family holiday with different activities
for the different members of the family - satisfaction all
round! You can charter a boat of varying size depending on
your budget and they fish that you're after, but you'll
find that they'll be well equipped but for your comfort and
for your fishing.
If Florida is too hot to handle then why not try North
Carolina. Here the choice of fish is definitely different
but equally varied and delicious with not only excellent
game fish but also a wide variety of sea food. Here you can
try surf casting, trolling diving and spear fishing or deep
sea fishing in the Gulf Stream. If you love salt water
fishing you'll find it difficult to find anywhere better.
There's plenty of choice of boat for charter; some being
very luxurious and splendid.
Going north again you'll come to the wonderful salmon
fishing of the southern Quebec area, where the wonderful
rivers are clean and gushing with salmon. Here the people
consider fishing to be a way of life and they are willing
to show you how to become a master catcher of the world's
most intelligent and beautiful salmon. They will teach you
patience and understanding in addition to respect for the
creatures and they encourage you, when the fight is over
and the fish has accepted defeat, to respect its playing of
the game and place it back in the water. If you also want
to experience some lake fishing you can visit some of the
thousands of lakes that lie amidst the breathtaking
scenery. Again, any combination of fishing and
accommodation can be arranged to cater for your every
requirement.
Even further north, you'll move into the world of northern
Quebec where the climate is much less friendly and the
indigenous people have used fishing as their only means of
food. Here you can learn the skill and solitude of the art
of ice fishing. Various villages will drag hundreds and
hundreds of small shacks onto the rivers and lakes and hire
them out for people who want to simply sit in their own
worlds to fish. The season is short, from Christmas through
to February and is turning out to be a profitable business
for the locals who can offer complete peace and solitude to
those who want to leave the madness of their own worlds for
a few days. If you can cope with the cold you're likely to
catch a mixture of walleye, yellow perch and pike; redfish,
cod and turbot and rainbow and speckled trout depending on
the village where you go but you're guaranteed to have
enjoyed the pleasure of getting to know yourself again.
