If you thought you'd never be able to afford such a trip... think again. You'll be pleasantly surprised at how reasonably priced these vacations are. Did you know that you could go on a fly in fishing trip where you'd have the whole lake to yourself for four days for under $900 per guy? Where else can you rent an entire lake for that kind of money?
