The United States has an abundance of wonderful bodies of water where avid anglers can enjoy their favorite hobby. Many of the finest lakes are man-made and provide water for urban centers. Varieties of fish occur naturally or have been introduced into the reservoirs for your fishing pleasure. Largemouth bass is probably the most targeted lake fish, followed by various species of trout and salmon as well as perch, bream, crappie and catfish. All the lakes offer diverse outdoor recreation for non-fishing family members, including camping, swimming, bird-watching, hiking and water sports.
