Stream that runs through the campground

Unsuccessful fishing in the river

Large-mouth bass, bluegill, trout, and crayfish.

Some of the best trout fishing (rainbow, brown, cutthroat) in the West because of the ideal temperatures by the dam. Strict regulations: limit of 2 under 13' and 1 over 20'. Also, artificial lures only.

Spin and flyfishing for cutthroat trout by Bridge Bay on the north end of Yellowstone Lake

Great fishing for rainbow, brown, and cutthroat trout

Second largest glacier-fed lake in the world. Things to do at the lake include: a 90-minute boat cruise to Spirit Island, boating and kayaking (rentals available), and fishing for rainbow and eastern brook trout.

Sunnies and small-mouth bass

Bass fishing on the mountain lake in the Spirity Pond KOA

Mouth of the river where the Western Brook Pond meets the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Fishing for trout is popular here when the tide is flowing out. Theoretically, a fishing license isn’t required if you stay past the marker (towards the ocean side).

Sunnies and small-mouth bass

Right past the village, the Resurrection Creek flows into Turnagain Arm. During the summer salmon runs, fishermen line the shores of the Creek catching the pinks as they make their way in from Turnagain Arm.

Combat fishing for trout and salmon

Beach near the ferry terminal at the very tip of the Spit.

The Alaska Department of Fish & Game stocks this little bight with king and silver salmon smolt. Each year the salmon return, fooled into thinking this is where they are to swim up river and lay their eggs. Instead, they are greeted with a crowd of anglers lining the banks of the bight. Fishing licenses are available right across from the Fishing Hole at the Sport Shed.

1/2 halibut charter out into Kachemak Bay

Stocked with catfish and bass

Great fishing where Nantucket Sound flows into Sengekontacket Pond

For blues and stripers in the channel leading into Menemsha Pond

For blues and stripers in the channel leading into Menemsha Pond - just across the channel from Menemsha jetty

Surfcasting from the barrier beach located just over Dike Bridge

The outermost point of Wasque Reservation Beach. It is called the "Rip" because of its strong undertow and currents, where stripers and bluefish love to chase little fish. On almost any day, dozens of four-wheel drive vehicles line the water’s edge, especially during the annual Striped Bass and Bluefish Derby held each year for several weeks in September and October.

For non-indigenous rainbow trout and kokanee salmon. No fishing license is required.

Fly fish for trout in the Tuolumne River in the Meadow

Catch-and-release trout fishing stream located just up the road from the Bridgeport Reservoir Marina and Campground

Paul catches a Wild Golden trout in lovely Crystal Lake

Section of the Owens River in the Long Valley Caldera, located upstream from the bridge at Benton Crossing. This productive trout stream eventually flows into Crowley Lake.

A nice quiet section of the Owens River in Mammoth Lakes near Big Springs Campground. Unfortunately, no fish were caught, but the scenery was nice.

For blues and stripers in the channel leading into Menemsha Pond - just across the channel from Menemsha jetty. No one was having any luck

For blues, or anything that will bite, in the channel leading into Menemsha Pond

Herb gave it his all - casting and talking to fisherman, but no one was having much success
