Scotland, Italy Among Top Fishing Spots

Fishing trips often combine the sport with great sightseeing. Among the best places to enjoy your hobby and also take in the magnificence of nature are Scotland, Sicily and Thailand, according to Canadian travel website Cheapflights, which has compiled a list of locations especially suitable for fishing enthusiasts that would allow them to both practise their hobby and get to see some of the most beautiful parts of the world.

First among these destinations is Sutherland in Scotland. The area is famous for salmon and brown and sea trout, and fishing at the Kyle estuary is allowed every day except Sunday. Offering magnificent scenery, the location is suitable for novice anglers, with the local Angling Association providing them and their more experienced fellow fishermen with a booklet listing the best spots to make a catch. The daily permit for sea trout fishing is priced at £8.

Still in Europe, another great spot for fishing enthusiasts is Sicily, Italy. Although the fish population has started to dwindle as a result of too much fishing, it is still a perfect location to try spearfishing. This ancient form of fishing allows you to combine the activity with diving, adding charm to the experience. The most common fish around the coasts of Sicily are tuna, blue fish and sardines.

If you have a passion for deep sea fishing, visiting the Thai island of Phuket is a perfect choice. The Andaman Sea is one of the best places for deep sea fishing with its crystal clear waters and populations of tuna, marlin - blue and black - and swordfish. Although fishing there is only on a catch-and-release basis, the experience is still unique.
