Fishing - A life-time Passion!
I don't quite know what it is, perhaps it's the sense of never knowing quite what to expect, or perhaps it's the enjoyment of being out in the country one with nature, or perhaps it's just that fishing is so much fun! Whatever the reason, I and millions of other people love it!
Some of my earliest childhood memories revolve around fishing. I can remember the first time I went fishing with my dad. He had all the fishing gear, I had a stick with a piece of string and a bent pin tied to it! I didn't catch anything, but he did! I might not have hooked any fish on that day; but fishing sure hooked me!
So this is what this lens is about. A passion that I have had all of my life.

Today, fishing trips cover the globe. You can fish for bass in the Amazon, salmon in Alaska or Steelhead trout off Vancouver Island, British Columbia. The excitement-seeking adventurous fisherman might brave the high seas and hunt shark off the coast of Australia. Melbourne plays host too much deep sea fishing charter boats.
Cruise ship excursions also offer fishing trips. Take a side trip while in port, and land a massive Tarpon off Key West, Florida, or hook a Dolly Vardon trout in a wilderness lake in the Tongass National Forest in Alaska.
Your next fishing adventure can easily be found online. Open a search engine and type "fishing trips" and the location of where you'd like to fish. Dozens of options will appear.
You'll find lots of help when booking fishing trips online since most companies will also include links for the purchase of your fishing license.
The sites also detail the components included in your trip, equipment provided, their destination, and any hints to make your experience better.
Not sure how much time you'll need? Fishing trips vary in length from a few hours, like cruise ship excursions, to overnight trips lasting up to 3 days like the Andy Griffith's Charters out of Key West, Florida.
Are you a fly fisherman? Then you'd better not mind flying in a small plane because the sites are remote like those in Northern Canada, and can only be accessed by charter plane.
