Backcountry Fishing

Although in some places like Florida “backcountry” simply means “not on the seashore”, in most cases a “backcountry fishing trip” involves a journey into the wilderness, likely staying overnight in a camp or a remote lodge. A hike up the Rocky Mountains after wild trout and flying a bush plane to a nameless lake in Manitoba fall under this category. This is where you sometimes need the help of a guide, to make sure you’re not lost and safe from grizzly bears and similar threats.
