Is his idea of heaven standing hip-deep in water? Then tell him to fix the plumbing! (Just kidding.) Near and far, here's where he can indulge his piscine passion for a fishing vacation:

New York: Lodge at Emerson Place

    Located in the Northern Catskills, across from the stocked Esopus Creek trout stream, the Lodge at Emerson Place (formerly known as Catskill Corners) is an upstate New York gem and an oasis of tranquility. Non-anglers can head for nearby Woodstock for the arts and shopping scene.

Montana: Resort at Paws Up

    An unconventional resort in the Montana wilderness, the Resort at Paws Up is an angler's retreat located within the golden triangle of western trout fishing.

Florida: Cheeca Lodge

    In the Florida Keys, eco-friendly Cheeca Lodge will arrange fishing and diving trips for guests. Feeling lazy? Just cast a line over the resort's own 525-foot fishing pier.

Idaho: Hidden Creek Ranch

    In addition to offering flyfishing instruction, this luxe log-cabin resort doesn't neglect the other pleasures of a vacation. Among the offerings: horseback riding, cow herding games, yoga classes, nature walks, and more. A stay concludes with a five- or seven-course candlelight dinner.

Alaska: Sadie Cove Wilderness Lodge

    Whether his passion is catching halibut or salmon, he can reel in the big ones from this location in Kachemak Bay State Park, 10 miles from Homer. The rustic yet elegant lodge is accessible only by boat, float plane, or helicopter.
