Dream Trip

1lipripper · 06-13-08, 09:35 AM

There you sit in front of the computer…daydreaming. Ah, if you only had the time and money to take that ‘dream trip’ you’ve always thought about. The one you keep saying to yourself, “Before I die I want to do that.”

Where would you go on your ‘dream trip’ of a lifetime? What would you do?

It would make a great father’s day gift for someone to give you.

There is a river on the Isle of Skye in Scotland, the River Hamara, that I fished for just a day aout 5 years ago that I would return to, this time with camping gear and all my fly tackle. I would camp amongst the ruins of the croft houses for around a month in july or august, flyfishing for Atlantic Salmon and Brown Trout.

What a beautiful picture you paint with your words. Awesome!

doc · 06-13-08, 10:30 AM

Amazon peacock bass fishing. I know there are some in Florida, but the Amazon would be the dream trip.

texasbasser · 06-13-08, 10:34 AM

Amazon Peacocks would be somewhere on my list. The ones in florida dont grow to the size native amazons do. Just not the same... Awesome, but still not that same.

My favorite would have to be flats fishing in the bahamas.

Jim80 · 06-13-08, 02:53 PM

deffinitly peacock bass in the amazon , closely followed by a trip for blue marlin , then over seas for the mekong catfish .

Raul · 06-13-08, 04:22 PM

In no particular order:

1.- Amazon: peacock bass, payara, arapaima, pacu
2.- Southeast Mexico: tenguayaca ( rainbow bass ), macabil
3.- Africa: Nile Perch, tiger fish
4.- Australia: barramundi

Then I can die a happy camper.

Falcon, just an hour away. YOu want to fish it that bad?!? We should arrange a trip down there, I've got the hook ups

MississippiBoy · 06-13-08, 04:39 PM

LOL...sounds like a challenge...

Dream trip for me would be a tour of Europe, starting in Scotland, down through France, and Spain, hit Switzerland, Germany...everywhere. Eventually wind up in Venice or Rome...

MrPhotographer06 · 06-13-08, 09:19 PM

probally just take my camping/hiking gear and hike till i didnt want to anymore through the wilderness looking for ponds to fish

brushhog · 06-15-08, 06:11 PM

pignjig · 06-15-08, 11:07 PM

A week on Falcon, Chain of Lakes and one of those isolated bronzeback lakes up in Canada, eh.

Real fantasy? That same week with Roger Waters, Jerry garcia and '80s Stevie Nicks. Just Stevie Nicks would do, though...

lowrider · 06-16-08, 06:00 AM

it wasn't fishing but i did a dream trip last summer. sturgis rally in south dakota on my harley. some of the best riding i've ever done.

BigBassin144 · 06-16-08, 08:39 AM

A week on Lake of the Woods for Musky with someone who could put me onto fish.

-or-

A cross country fishing trip for multiple species. (Fish in every state.)

fishin' fool · 06-16-08, 12:52 PM

I have to many dream trips, but I hope to do at least one or two.

Amazon peacock bass fishin
Red fish fishin in Lousiana or FL
of course largemouth bass fishing in FL, TX, and out west
Smallies on the boudry waters
and fish for species I've never fished for

flfireman · 06-20-08, 11:30 PM

Amen to that lowrider, did the same trip. Sturgis 07 was incredible. Me, three buds and 16 days off work. Fishing trip- amazon, el salto(?), the baramundi(sp?) I can do right here in Cent Fl. Just haven't had the urge or money to do it.

Fishbear · 06-22-08, 01:41 PM

My dream trip would be to Alaska.

My brother and I side by side, salmon/halibut fishing for a week or two. Watching the Grizzly bears fish within a few hundred yards, the moose coming down for water, and the mosquitoes carrying off small livestock

.

Staying in a rustic lodge, wishing Dad was still alive to be there with us.

Which river? Kenai maybe, but definitely some of the lesser known rivers that produce great fish.

This would be very close to what I would wish for as well! Halibut, Salmon and Cod would be a blast!
I guess a trip to the Amazon would be neat as well.
Back home to Texas someday would be right up at the top of my dream list.

I enjoyed the G-ville trip too!~
