Kodiak Island, Alaska, offers coho salmon and halibut: This outfitter operates out his 5-star 2,000 square foot lodge on Ugak Bay off the southeastern coast of Kodiak Island. He offers world-class fishing off his 40-foot boat and nice lodge accommodations with 6 bedrooms, bar, sauna, laundry service, fish processing, meals, the complete 5-day package for only $2,500 or 4 days is $2,000. Early July produces kings and halibut, while later in the month and on into August is better for coho and halibut. Roundtrip charter from Kodiak to the lodge runs about $425 per plane and this can be split up among the fishermen. Trip KI783.

Float the Salmon River wilderness for Idaho steelhead: This is a trip that eveybody should do at least once in their lifetime. You'll meet the outfitter in the town of Salmon and then drive down the river to the end of the road, where you'll float for five days, stopping every night at a lodge in this pristine wilderness. You'll fish for steelhead and sometimes salmon. At certain times of year you also can enjoy hunting chukars and Hungarian partridge. You'll most likely see bighorn sheep and mule deer, and you might also spot elk, black bear, otter, beaver, coyote, eagles and ospreys. $2,200 for five days. The outfitter also does a hunt specifically designed for birdhunters who like to fish. You'll float from Lewiston or Grangeville down to the Snake River and most likely get out in Oregon. $1,850 for five days.

Dayfishing trips for steelhead in the Salmon River, Idaho: This outfitter uses driftboats in the Salmon River near his home in the town of Salmon, meaning it's the closest steelhead fishing for many sportsmen in the West. After the sales tax, the fee comes out to about $150 a person per day (party of two). He considers five hits on the boat a good day but in a good year has had may consecutive days with 10 or 12 per day. A slow day might turn up just a couple of hits. These fish probably average about five pounds, and they're acrobatic, often taking to the air. Fishing is best from mid-October till Nov. 10 and in March, but there's some fishing in January and February when the ramps are open and the river is free of slush and ice. I've been with this outfitter, and he is a treasure trove of local history and a remarkable naturalist. He said the fishing has improved quite a bit in the past few years, but he's afraid that the current drought conditions in his part of Idaho will lead to some slow years in the future. Trip ID425ST.

Flyfish western Alaskan streams: World-class flyfishing for genetically pure wild rainbow trout is the big draw of this trip. The outfitter accommodates six anglers a week. Rainbow trout are typically 18-24" long with an occasional trophy to 28 inches. Char typically run 16-24" with a rare fish to 27 inches. Grayling are usually 16 to 18 inches long. Sockeye salmon fishing is excellent in the first three weeks of July, and they're fresh from the sea during the first part of the month. Most stream fishing consists of casting to fish you see. Kayaking and hiking can be done on these 6-day trips guided 2x1 at $3,500. July and August are the best months. Trip AK360.

Tarpon and sailfish in Costa Rica

Tennessee striped bass: Early spring is the time to catch striped bass in east Tennessee. Boone Lake near Bristol and the Tennessee River around Knoxville produce good numbers of fish from 25 to 35 lbs. from late February through May. 40 pounders are taken here. June through August tailrace fishing on the Tennessee River near Knoxville (Watts Bar Dam, Melton Hill Dam, Fort London Dam) frequently yield 20 to 40+ fish per day from 10 to 25 lbs.
