How to Plan a Fishing Vacation

Every year, tens of thousands of anglers plan for a fishing vacation, or at least a vacation that will include fishing. Fishing destinations are getting more and more exotic and the most remote spots in the world are now catered by outfitters of every kind, from the small fishing cabin with see through walls and leaky roofs, to the 5 star resort with gourmet chef and full spa.

Whatever your need there is a fishing vacation tailor made for you, whether you want to spend a week away with your family, or need a retreat for business purposes, whether you want to spend $200 or $20,000, whether you want to drive in or fly-in, you can do camping, or you can rent cottages, you can even go "american style" with 3 prepared meals and room service.

What is the best way to choose a fishing vacation that will please everyone and remain within your budget? Well for canadian tourists, there are several excellent websites that will provide you with a bird's eye view of what is available out there. In Quebec, one site stands out for the wealth of information it provides. Although the site needs a lot of work in my opinion, if you take the time to ask it the right questions, it will provide you with a wide array of available outfitters that will meet every one of your criteria. One of the issues I have with the site is that the english version looks like it was made in 1995, in fact most of it doesn't even work. But if you are up to a little french, you can visit the site and plan a fishing vacation in Quebec.
