Clean, green and absolutely full of fishing options, that’s New Zealand.  Everyone is aware of the world class Trout fishing available through the length and breadth of this far away land, but did you know that there are just so many more options for any fishing-mad visitor. A little trip down the Country and back again will show a feeling for the variety, and highlight some of the great spots and common methods.  Darryl French.  Fly Fishing
 
 

Our trip starts in Rotorua in the North Island, with a focus on Trout, and with the many lakes and rivers in this area the choice is yours. From early morning starts with a luminous glow fly after the big Tarawera trout, to nymphing on the Ngongotaha after spawning browns and rainbows, many of these are well past the magic 10lb mark, with the largest I heard of this year being 16lb. Close to Rotorua itself you can try spotting cruising browns in nearby rivers like the Rangitaiki, and there are many kilometres of easily accessible fishing there. If its solitude you are after then this is the place to go surrounded by native bush with many and varied winding walking tracks down to, and alongside the river.

From Rotorua we move South to the fishing Mecca of Taupo. Here you can troll or harl on the great lake itself, and many charter operators specialise in fishing trips which would have you catching fighting fit rainbows in short trips on 3-4 hours. For river fishing you must try the “ picket fence “ at the Waitahanui mouth where large numbers of anglers normally indicate fresh runs of trout entering the river.

Further South you can’t go past the mighty Tongariro; here you can take your pick and wet line or nymph the many famous pools like the Major Jones and the Judges, with catches of 3 or more fish, 3 being the daily limit, very common.

Moving down to the South Island, and still on the trout, you need to try the Southland rivers of the Mataura or Oreti, or take to the back Country rivers like the gin clear Eglington, in one of the many charter Helicopter trips. The evening rise on the Mataura is world famous as 3-4lb browns rise readily to tiny size 18-20 midge flies.

While you are in the South Island, Salmon fishing is also a must. This can be as easy as taking a whole day trip on the Rakia in a jet boat, flitting from pool to pool, or join the crowds at the Waimakariri’s “ Macintosh’s hole” or at the mouth itself at Kairaki. Salmon on spinning tackle in the confined space of a river are a real challenge, as well as a great evening meal.  Coming back up the Country with a focus on sea fishing your first stop is in the Kaikoura area where you can take in some excellent bottom fishing for Blue cod, before rounding out your day with some “ Whale watching “ just off the coast.

Back in the North Island a good first stop is at Whakatane, where the active volcano of White Island is just a brief boat trip offshore. Here Kingfish are the target, and with freshly caught Flying fish as bait, fish of 40 – 50lb are not uncommon. Depending on the time of year the annual Tuna tournament in January is a real must, as to see the huge schools of anchovies being rounded up and then slashed to pieces by these yellow bullets is truly amazing.

For beautiful scenery and an amazing outdoor adventure, freshwater fishing in Canada  is a perfect setting.  Remote water systems in Canada provide some of the best fishing opportunities on the planet. Times are busy. Getting a break in a remote region of Canada is often just what the doctor ordered. In the north, the fishing is unparalleled on the continent. You will experience not only big fish, but aggressive fish. The fast moving waters, deep lakes and amazing rock structures provide the perfect setting for this outdoor experience.

For serious anglers there are a large number of fishing locations right across the country. Freshwater fishing in Canada offers the incredible water systems of Ontario  and Quebec along with the amazing rivers of British Columbia. With the points in between, there are countless untouched waters in Canada. This means spirited battles from fish that grow in strong numbers and sizes!
British Columbia offers some of the most remarkable trout and Salmon fishing found anywhere. Fly anglers from all over the world congregate to this province hoping to land that river bound lunker. You want to talk about panorama? How about embarking on a Canadian fishing vacation  that is situated in a scenic mountain region? There are slow and fast moving waters throughout the province with an abundance of fish! This province will certainly test your fishing skills. Fishing in BC is something you will never forget!

Moving east, the Canadian Prairie Provinces are more than just prairie! Don’t let their moniker fool you. From Alberta through Saskatchewan  and into Manitoba  there is a vast stretch of
Canadian Shield. This area is spotted with over two hundred thousand lakes and dazzling scenery. Picture being tucked into a lake deep in the Canadian Shield where there is nothing but your lodge and amazing fishing. Many folks swear by the northern Prairie Provinces and they revisit every year. Further east, Ontario and Quebec continue to offer outstanding freshwater fishing. The different regions to choose from while fishing Canada’s 2 largest provinces truly is a marvel. Ontario alone has over 200,000 lakes, and is home to more types of fish than anywhere else in the country. From pike to salmon to walleye and muskie, there is something for you in these 2 beautiful provinces.

The Fish. Anglers from all over the world look forward to freshwater fishing in Canada each year. Walleye fishing in Canada remains the centerpiece of many Canadian fishing vacations. Their spirited nature and great taste make them the most sought after interior fish in the country. There is a wide variety of Trout species in Canada that lure anglers every year to test their skills. Rainbow trout , lake trout , brown and brook trout are are sought after on both flies and spinners. Seeing a rainbow spring its body completely out of the water during a gritty battle is worth the price of admission. Trout are caught in both lakes and rivers across Canada and are the prize many fishermen seek while freshwater fishing in Canada! The Muskie   and Northern pike are perhaps the two most aggressive freshwater fish in Canada. They wait under structure and in standing weed beds waiting to assault unsuspecting prey as it swims by. These ambushes frequently result in a violent strike and a strong-willed fight you had better be ready for. Each year pike well over 30 pounds and muskie over 40 pounds are caught on freshwater fishing trips in Canada. If it’s a battle you want – these fish are for you!  Check out all the species of game fish in Canada

Your Stay.  No matter the province you select for your Canada fishing trip, you are in for some of the best meals of your life. Nothing beats the taste of fresh fish (especially if caught that day). Many Canada fishing lodges offer the chance to experience shore lunches. Fish right out of the water and into the frying pan is a big reason many fishermen come to Canada for their fishing trips. Eating your tasty catch on the shore of an uncharted island holds something special for every angler.  When looking for a place to stay while freshwater fishing in Canada, you have many options. Canadian outfitters can supply a wide assortment of services. Everything from a straightforward boat rental to a full service guided fishing excursion can be arranged. Many outfitters go to great lengths to “pamper” their guests. Some full service fishing lodges provide daily maid and linen service, all meals and even the use of hot tubs (to end your day just right). As fishing in Canada continues to grow in popularity (particularly in the north) the planning cycle for these trips is starting earlier.  Many anglers begin booking their Canada fishing trips one year in advance. Don’t be asleep at the switch. Make your bookings early! There are a number of great reasons to start a tradition of freshwater fishing in Canada. Find yours today! Get your family and friends together and try it out. You’ll be glad that you did!

     Egypt Advice from from Khalid of Egypt Fishing  relating to fishing on a cruise from Luxor to Aswan. "No license needed. Trolling is almost useless, unless in Lake Nasser; Still fishing is very nice and rewarding in the south (Luxor and Aswan); 3m-5m rod is the right size, telescopic is just fine; Use a spinning reel with 0.3mm-0.4mm monofilament with 50m or more available and size 4 to size 8 hooks. Use a bobber and 20-40g weights. For  night fishing, use small glow sticks on top of the bobber.. For bait use earth worms (best) or soft bread pulp. (Flies and plastics are not much welcomed by Egyptian fish!) You'll be expecting tilapia, tigerfish, catfish or a few more species.
