You yourself may be more interested in completely roughing it in order to do some fishing in ponds and lakes in some forested valley, while your spouse or the kids might insist on accommodations with electricity and hot and cold running water. This sort of lodge or rustic resort may be your answer.
These establishments are certainly aware of the appeal of providing fishing ponds among their many attractions. You'll find lodges that feature these ponds from Tennessee to Colorado, from Oregon to Georgia, and everywhere in between.
While the kids perhaps goof off in the swimming pool and other family members play miniature golf or go hiking in the woods, you could be relaxing in a small boat and angling for the types of fish you like to eat. Many lodges even supply all the rods and tackle as part of the vacation package, without extra charge.
It's possible that in addition to the lodge's private fishing ponds, which wouldn't require you to get a fishing license, you might also want to fish in some nearby ponds and lakes.
If they aren't privately owned, that might bring in the licensing requirements, but the lodge management can supply such details when you book your vacation. Whatever your wishes, having a holiday in a location like this might be just what your family needs, to relax without a lot of hassle, and go home refreshed when the vacation is over.
