Women's Henry's Fork Trip
August 24-28th, 3 spots left!

We’ll start our women's flyfishing weekend at the TroutHunter at 4 PM on August  24th for a group casting lesson with Millie Paini. Millie’s fun style and great experience will give you a chance to fine-tune your cast in preparation for the the bucket list waters known as the Henry's Fork in Island Park, Idaho.

The Henry’s Fork is a legendary river and we'll spend three days fishing the heart of it from Island Park, Idaho. Our TroutHunter guides focus on nine sections of the Henry’s Fork including "The Ranch"; they are some of the industry's best and are very well respected guides.

August is a fabulous time to be on the river! Mahogany Duns, Flavs, Tricos, Caddis and terrestrials are in fine form. All great options! $2.699 double occupancy or $2,999 single occupancy. 

Mangrove Cay Club - Liz Bain
From time to time Finatical Flyfishing likes to introduce you to some of the amazing women in flyfishing today. The recent trip to Mangrove Cay Club in the Bahamas provided a great opportunity to get to know Liz Bain. Originally from Canada, Liz had a successful career in accounting and later software implementation as that industry unfolded.

Liz moved to Andros Island with her husband Alton and their baby daughter in 1990.  At that time, Andros flyfishing lodges were kind of a new idea and fairly rustic.  After managing such a lodge for about a year in the mid 1990’s , Liz and some investors found each other and started to plan Mangrove Cay Club. 

As plans took shape, adding exceptional comfort, food and an evolved level of guiding to the Andros experience became the goal.

The first step was to find the right location.  Liz wanted to be in the heart of the fishery, far enough from the Windward East coast to have sheltered boat access to the Bights and the West Side of Andros.  Liz found the property on the North shore of Mangrove Cay overlooking the Middle Bight, one of the most remote and pristine locations in the saltwater fishing world. 

All eight guest rooms are right on the water, surrounded by lush tropical landscaping.  The view from your window or private deck is spectacular and only ten feet from the water. Read the rest on the blog page....
