Clarissa Coughanour
The 10 best fishing spots in the USA — from our Florida Keys to Alaska salmon rivers, bucket-list water.
1
They call it the Sportfishing Capital of the World and it's right here in our Keys — tarpon rolling at sunrise is pure Florida magic.
Islamorada
The river that grew the biggest king salmon ever caught — Alaska-sized fish for a bucket-list-sized trip.
Kenai River
Our own Big O! A lake so big you can't see across it, and the bass grow just as big — Florida fishing at its proudest.
Lake Okeechobee
Tens of MILLIONS of salmon come home here every summer — nature's biggest fishing rush hour, and I need to see it once.
Bristol Bay
Where the Gulf Stream brings the giants close — marlin and tuna stories come out of these docks like nowhere else on the East Coast.
Outer Banks
Texas built this lake to grow monster bass and it WORKED — the state record came out of this water.
Lake Fork Reservoir
A 'little' Great Lake with a giant reputation — smallmouth by the dozen and a muskie that could eat your lure AND your feelings.
Lake St. Clair
Fly-fishing church, Montana edition — wild browns and rainbows stacked in cold, clear water all year long.
Bighorn River
Trout the size of your arm, in Arkansas of all places — the Ozarks' cold, clear secret that isn't a secret anymore.
White River
The Walleye Capital of the World is a whole personality up here and honestly? The fish fry earns it.
Lake Erie
