As many people continue to look for the perfect home where they can enjoy a better quality of life with more fresh air while still working remotely, we know that fishing is a very important factor in many of these decisions. We have pulled together five luxury communities that have a lot to offer these fishermen (and fisherwomen, but “fishermen” is officially gender-neutral – we never want to offend any of our readers, so we checked!). That said, we know that all the men and women (and boys and girls) who have a love for fishing will be thrilled to call any of these communities home.
