Outdoors USA | Fishing Vacations

Ok now that the New Year has started and Christmas hubub is past its time for me to start focusing on what I love to do and that’s to go fishing.   I hope to spend tons of time this year on the lakes, stream and farm ponds in my local area as well as trying to take a few fly fishing vacations.  I’d like to head out east for the opening of trout season and perhaps out west later in the spring with a few buddies of mine to hit some of the crystal clear mountain fly fishing streams.   I know some of these types of vacation ideas can be a bit expensive but I’ve made some good contacts over the years and have secured some fairly inexpensive lodging at a couple of my favorite fishing locations.  Has anyone else out there ever taking a vacation dedicated to just spending time fly fishing with buddies?  Any way in planning for this trip I’ve started looking into all my gear to make sure I’ll have everything I need.  It looks like I’m in pretty good shape and shouldn’t have to do much shopping at the fly shop at least not for the opening of the fishing season.  Well have to run wife and kids think it’s time to take the Christmas tree down now.
