I would say the factors are

Type of Fish-

Quality of fishing-

Scenery-

And Company kept-

There are several Mountain lakes in WY now on my Bucket list mostly because of the people I would go with, and the scenery and fish come in second, but the chance of huge trout! and odd species like Goldens and Grayling run high too. Not too mention they want to do them in the winter and snow shoe in.

Glendive MT - Paddle fish.

Burbot - Any where

Maine - Blue back trout

Over 20 lb. Laker

over 25 lb pike

any Muskie

2 lb BG

and also forgot, PEACOCK BASS!!
