if you go to Ireland you may want to contact a couple of members who frequent the float tubing board.. one of them is Norm (Irish float tube) .. I dont remember the other gentlemans name.. there is also a third one I beleive is on the same board who is a guide over there.. I would think all three of them would be good sources of information..

No fair, Dryrod. How are we expected to pick just one, when there are so many destinations?
Top of the heap, for me, would be Iceland for salmon. But I'd also like to fish the Ring of Kerry for trout and sea runs. New Zealand is on the list for sure.
I'm sure there are a few undiscovered flats in the Carribean, and I'd like to be one of the first to wade them. But, on the other hand, the salters still run in the Maritimes, and a combo trip for them and the holdover silvers would be the cat's meow.
Here at home I have never managed to catch the false albie run, and that's high on my list. Time and money allowing, I'd just camp out at OBX and wait for them.
Then there's.......

New Zealand. Period. But, I'm afraid that if I ever went, I'd never, ever come back to the states. I have friends who have been there, and they said I'd be in big trouble.
The same "friends" who said the same thing about the Florida Keys, and now I can't get enough of that either. Keys tarpon occupy my brain 24/7, unless I'm fishing for something else at the moment, and I still think about them in between casts!
If I could just bop back and forth between New Zealand trout rivers and tarpon-filled estuaries of Central America, life would be complete! However, I don't buy lottery tickets, don't have any rich relatives, and haven't come upon a rolled-over Brinks truck.

And vise versa Mac.
My dream destinations are ALASKA basically cause I want to see the Northern Lights before I die and fish waters where I have to look over my shoulder 24/7 LOL
Second would be Patagonia.

Go to Iceland the best ever I have done NZ and I think trout fishing in Iceland is 10 times better.
I recommend this fly fishing dude Gudmundur

I forgot Yes salmon fishing in Iceland is also very good, have done salmon fishing there for many years after I discover trout fishing in Iceland I just do 1-2 days salmon and 3 till 6 days trout.

No I have not done Alaska, I have done Greenland that´s also fantastic but I got a little bit bored after 2 days, fishing for char there was little bit easy.

Just finished watching an episode of Fly Fishing the World. This weeks guest was the renowned golfer Nick Price. The only thing that separate celebrities of this nature is $$$$$$$$. When you have it the world is your back yard. Must be nice to island hop to find a great flat full of bone fish. BTW where would you head to fly fish if money & time wasn't a concern? I think that I would like to give New Zealand or Patagonia a try.[/size][/#008000][/font] ![[Image: bobwink.gif]](http://www.bigfishtackle.com/images/gforum/bobwink.gif)
