I’m not sure. It’s pretty hard IMHO to beat New England between the groundfish, record striped bass, and even bluefin tune and that’s not even talking about freshwater.
I guess this is about destinations so I’ll have to say Alaska for both fresh and saltwater species (you can even go crabbing and shrimping recreationaly).

New Zealand - Rainbow Trout
Chitral - ditto
Kamchatka - King Salmon
Florida - Bonefish
Alaska - Halibut
S Australia - Yellowfin tuna (and then King George whiting when I don't catch a tuna!)
Last but not least and the most probable, my own home country, where the English side of my family comes from: the east Midlands, for brown trout and grayling fly fishing. The fish don't grow big and are not numerous, but it is a beautiful part of the UK and where fly fishing all started.
There is a small chance I will be fishing the Long Island Sound this autumn!

Mexico -Large Mouth Bass
BOQ -Trophy Walleye best fishery imo
Ireland- Pike (because pints and fishing go together like Mac & cheese)
NWT- Pike
B.C. Sturgeon and Pink Salmon
New Brunswick for Musky
Puerto Rico, US and BVI- Tarpon for sure!
Most of my destinations are close and attainable. Call this a "bucket list"

A couple months ago, I read an article about a farmer in Thailand, where he made his own pond/lake, and stocked it with big, exotic fish from around the world. One of the impressive fish they have in there, is an 'aquarium' type fish. In chinese, it's called a 'boss fish'. It's so aggressive that you can only put it in a fish tank by itself. Anything else will be eaten! They're also expensive, for $1000 for a 12incher! In the article, they had a stock of 5 of them, 40"+. IF I wanted to fish anywhere in the world, I'd definitely spend a week or more in Thailand, and catch all I need for warm water exotic fish. some quick google searches for thailand fishing came up with: http://www.siamfishingtours.com/

Hey Adam! You may be visiting Long Island Sound? Whereabouts? I live on LIS, in Connecticut, it's a pretty nice area.
South America for peacock bass sounds great, but personally, I'm a largemouth kinda guy, so I'm feeling Lake Fork in TX, Clear Lake in CA, and Lake Powell, AZ looks damn amazing.

I am attending a conference in Cold Spring Harbor, and hopefully will add an extra day afterwards to jump on a boat and see what all the fuss is about; it certainly sounds like a great place for fishing. A little research on the internet lately has me inclined toward a boat out of Stony Brook or maybe further down the coast. What's the fishing like in Autumn? |

Hmm, that's kinda far from me, I'm on the other side of the sound. I'm also primarily a freshwater fisherman, so I can't say for sure, but I do know the stripers in the area are always pretty damn good.

Well after flights and accomodation was sorted it turns out I only have a half-day free during my trip, the evening before I fly out. Thanks anyway. I imagine I will be spending my one free evening eating and shopping in Jackson Heights Little India! Cheers, Adam |

I spent 12 hours on Lake Fork in a guided bass boat and let me tell you...it's just as good as you've read about or see on TV! It was early in my fishing career and even not really knowing much about southern bass techniques I still caught a bunch of huge bass. I’d love to go back there now knowing what I know now. |

Too bad the record belongs to Lake Biwa!  |
