We will hit Florida for a week of tarpon then head west hitting as many blue ribbon rivers as possible, then head up to Alaska for some sea run salmon fishing.

When you get close to my neck of the woods...I would not miss the San Juan or Green.... About as EPIC of trout water is you get. Both very easy to walk if you don't have a drift boat or plan on getting a guide to float you down....

I used to fish the S.J. below Navajo dam every winter with a bunch of guys from the rec.outdoors.fishing.fly newsgroup. Had to wade through ice on occasion. We caught a bunch of big fish on tiny size 22-26 hooks. Beer, cigars, fishing, fellowship. I miss those trips but decided that winter fishing and traveling long distances to catch a trout had run it's course with me.

It is just an AMAZING river...

I am with you on Winter fishing, but don't mind getting road tripping....as long as it is not too far.
