Avid anglers spend resources on gear and travel for coveted fish and fishing spots, either to fish for sport or to bring something fresh to cook and serve at the table. Standing on cold water for hours on end brings perspective to a chaotic frame of mind, and pitting your wits against a fast and powerful creature of the deep helps you understand your own strengths and weaknesses. For most, fishing is an activity that relieves stress and re-energizes like no other. If you love fishing, how about visiting seven continents for a bucket-list fishing holiday? From bank fishing in Alaska’s Kenai River to fly fishing in the heart of Patagonia - keep reading to learn about the top fishing accommodations around the world.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and a location with easy access to fishing spots. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 12, 2024.
