When it comes to fishing, all national parks were not created alike. Maybe you like your fishing big and salty, battling your prey in the ocean. Others might prefer the rushing of a cool, clear stream or a freshwater lake rimmed with forest. How about some classic mountain-stream trout fishing? Or chasing after stubborn, surging salmon as they make their seasonal runs? Do you like your fishing from a boat or do you wade right in after your adversaries?

Whatever your poison, GORP has selected ten of the best national parks for anglers of every stripe. These destinations combine spectacular angling with some of America's most pristine wilderness—a surefire recipe for an unforgettable experience.
