One of my favorite movies is "A River Runs Through It". After I saw the movie, I begged my mother for my own reel and artificial flies. Being a child, of course, I didn't stick with it, but every time I see the movie or see a fly fisherman, I'm inspired to take up the sport again.

An article, on MSNBC, notes the world's top fly-fishing spots. Who knew fly-fishing could be so exciting and exotic?

While the Bahamas might be known for its spring break pick-up scene, it's also home to another sport: bonefishing.

Often, the best catch can be had along Andros Barrier Reef, a remote labyrinth of small islands, cays and tidal lakes boasting crystal-clear waters in which anglers from across the globe head to cast their reels.

Looking for Atlantic Salmon? Experts say there is no better spot than the Ponoi River, in Russia's Kola Peninsula. Enthusiasts head to an especially fish-rich 42-mile stretch, which is lined with thousands of emerald-green beech trees.

Both are examples of salt- and freshwater spots worldwide offering anglers stunning scenery, unfettered access to pristine waterways and luxurious local accommodations.

"Fly-fishing takes you to beautiful, unspoiled places," says Mollie Fitzgerald, a luxury consultant at Frontiers Travel International in Wexford, Pa. She plans upscale fly-fishing trips and is a fly-fisher herself. "You're in natural settings that usually aren't easy to get to, and you often won't see another person all day long."
