Italy
Great food, fantastic wines, beautiful scenery and friendly people. Add fly fishing to that, and you have reached the ultimate “La Dolce Vita”.
You can come back to Italy for years in a row and still discover many new places to fly fish. The country is big, has many rivers and lakes, as well as a long shoreline.
Although figuring out what license(s) you need can be tricky, a visit to a tackle shop or getting in touch with a guide will resolve this quickly and you’ll be on your way exploring the beautiful nature and incredible fly fishing.
France
With a diverse range of landscapes, countless rivers, and a strong angling culture, France is a dream destination for fly fishing enthusiasts at all skill levels. From the pristine mountain streams of the Pyrenees and the Alps to the serene rivers of Normandy and Brittany, this country offers an extraordinary variety of fishing opportunities, species, and picturesque locations.
Netherlands
The Netherlands might not be the first country that comes to mind when thinking about fly fishing destinations. Yet the fishing here is incredibly diverse. From pike and carp in the beautiful polder landscape to bass in the big rivers to seabass in the Rotterdam harbour.
Another huge advantage of fly fishing in the Netherlands is that a license is easy to get online, affordable and it will give you access to a vast amount of water.

Kylebooker Fly Chest Pack Review
“The Kylebooker Chest Pack is very light and comfortable, holds one large single-sided fly box with no problem, has pouches for accessories, and the front compartments opens downward as a “work area,” storage area for flies, or a great place to stash your cell phone (an iPhone 11 Pro Max in a slim case fits) so you don’t have to worry about it falling out of your pocket. The loop on the back of the neck strap is perfect for my fishing net with magnetic release. I love this chest pack and highly recommend it.”
Kerry G.Davids
“Moving away from fishing vest to chest pack. Able to stow practically everything from my vest into this pack, better suited for travel. Construction quality seems fine. Like the extra loop on the neck pad to clip my net. Will see how it stands up to use.”
Loggenrock
“This was a gift for my daughter who is a fly fishing enthusiast. She absolutely loves it and has used it on all of her fishing trips since I gave it to her a year ago now. Great pack and well constructed. Definitely recommend.”
