  • Fly fishing trips are a must for anyone who adores fishing. One must plan fly fishing trips to make sure that one gets the most out of their fishing experience. This makes the trip more enjoyable!

    If you have a regular location where you always prefer to go for fly fishing, it may tend to bore you over time. So you must be open to new ideas!

    Figure out a new location for your fly fishing trip to delight yourself with new scenery and experience. You may come across new people. You might catch some new varieties of fish as well!

    Some variety would, no doubt, add to the delight. You may choose to fish at creeks in the backcountry. But, fishing in lakes could make for a refreshing alternative for fly fishing.

    Know the best season for going on fly fishing trips

    If you want to take a trip for fly fishing, it is preferable to avoid peak tourist season and instead go in a regular season. You will find more room for yourself, and fishing would be more refreshing.

    However, if you want to go for some regular sightseeing along with fly fishing, then the peak tourist season would be a fine time for your visit.

    When you consider the fishing season, you often prefer prime time. This prime time is the most lucrative time of the year for most of the fishing enthusiasts.

    In many places, April and May is the season when the creeks are full of water. It is during this season that taking a fly fishing trip can be an awesome experience!

    In colder places, the month of July may be the best time for fishing.

    Manage your time

    You are passionate about fly fishing, and you adore the sport. The feeling of ecstasy that catching fish brings with it is more or less unmatchable to anything else.

    If you are planning to spend a long day fishing, then the fatigue which takes over may end up making you feel drained out.

    One of the ways to go about it is planning a shorter duration for fishing if you have to drive a long distance to reach the place. You could make up for the lost time on the following day!

    This also gives you room for activities that make the entire trip more enjoyable. Find time for a nice meal at a table with an umbrella. Spend time at a fly shop. You may also drop by a historic location for a change. Or how about a short afternoon nap to refresh your senses?

    At times, lesser time spent fishing may be more enjoyable!

    Have an alternative in place

    You might have been on a lookout for delightful experience fishing at a lake. However, it might disappoint you if the lake freezes overnight.

    It is always advisable to keep two or three spots in mind as alternatives to choose from for your trip. This lets you make last minute changes whenever required!

  • Taking a vacations always sounds like an exciting affair. However, there is more to vacations than just finding the right hotels at cheap rates and visiting local attractions and tasting the regional cuisines. Staying fit, safe, and healthy is probably the most crucial aspect that can help you to make the most out of your trip.

    While on vacation, no matter how much you enjoy and relax, some of the common diseases are something you will never want to contact and bring back home as memories.

    Given below are the diseases you don’t want to bring home from travel.

    • The warm wet tropical and the subtropical regions are known for their various mosquito triggered ailments such as malaria and dengue. This disease is also commonly known as bone breaking fever. These are ailments that are caused due to mosquito bites and are definitely some of the diseases you don’t want to bring home from travel. In both the cases, you can have a high fever, with nauseating feel. You can suffer from a harsh body ache that can make the pain excruciating. The fever can occur within one to two weeks from the insect bite. In many cases, if not treated well these common diseases like dengue and malaria have even caused a significant number of deaths.
    • There are a large number of water-generated diseases such as diarrhea. You can easily contract these diseases through consumption of infected water. Hence, whatever you do, please do not be adventurous or simply careless with the quality of the water that you drink. No matter how clean and dependable a natural source of water looks, please do not drink from it since it can end up you spending most of the time in your washroom. These diseases can be extremely annoying and can also continue for a while.
    • Hepatitis A is yet again another disease that can be commonly contracted through consumption of unclean food and water. A large number of such cases have been reported in Mexico and Colorado. This is, however, an ailment that is preventable through a vaccine.
    • Hepatitis B is transmitted through infected blood and bodily fluids, typically by having unprotected intercourse with an infected partner, but hep B can also be contracted by sharing hypodermic needles, tattoo equipment, razors, or other personal hygiene tools (i.e., nail trimmers) with an infected individual. Sources of caution are getting piercings or tattoos or even getting acupuncture if you’re uncertain of the cleanliness of the establishment or the proper sterilization of the equipment. Safe and effective vaccines to protect you against hepatitis B are available by your doctor prior to travel.
    • Hepatitis C can also be transmitted via infected blood with an already infected individual. Possible scenarios for contraction during travel may include sexual activities with a hep C positive individual. As well as sharing drug paraphernalia (i.e., needles), blood transfusions with unscreened blood, or getting tattoos and piercings with non-sterile equipment (i.e., acupuncture, dental procedures). Basically it’s unsafe to share any devices that can break the skin with a stranger. Although there is no vaccine to prevent hep C during travel, those who experience tell tale symptoms (i.e, jaundice of the skin and eyes, stomach pain, appetite loss, chronic fatigue, nausea, and dark colored urine) should seek immediate treatment to prevent serious liver disease (i.e., liver failure, cancer, or cirrhosis).
    • There are various vector-borne diseases and bacteria-borne ailments such as swimmer’s itch, which are the diseases that you don’t want to bring home from travel. You must stay away from adventurous dips into ponds and lakes no matter how tempting they look.

    In short, you must be responsible for all your enjoyment and take good care of your health. Now that you know these diseases you don’t want to bring home from travel, it is advisable that you take a proper bath in your hotel bathrooms, follow proper sanitation hygiene, drink good quality, bottled water, and eat clean and fresh food to stay healthy and fit while you are on a vacation.
