We told our field editors we wanted the honey holes. Not just places with lots of big fish, but waters that were extraordinary for their beauty, diversity, and unique personalities.

What they came back with is a list of fishing holes so rich and plentiful you’ll need a lifetime to fish them all. Better get started.
