Sun Valley, Idaho Trip Report

From Silver Creek to the Salmon River and then over the hill to all places along the  Big Lost River and Copper Basin..... they killed it. This was a fun group of amazing ladies who quickly became fishy friends and got it done.

Right out of the gate on the first morning, Kristen sent me pics of that fish (pictured above left) somewhere between 24-27"! She didn't stop at one in that size range either. Four nice trout in that range, landed first morning! Well done Kristin!  We also had some new anglers in our group. Sharon and JW came back the second day with over 100 fish to the net -each. What?!? Yep, they had 'so much fun'! Silver Creek.... yep, our group fished it and brought those fish to the net too. 

Julie, Amanda and the other guides with Silver Creek Outfitters were phenomenal. They are all certified casting instructors, know their local waters like no other, and everyone always has a good time! Thank you to the entire team at Silver Creek Outfitters!

Boats go out most days with both a head guide and an apprentice guide (with two anglers) making this a great trip for anglers of all levels. Most of Kay Fly’s guides have been with them over 10 years -all over 5 years. The Sian Ka’an Biosphere offers the chance to see 325 species of birds, four species of turtles, dolphins, manatee’s and an abundance of other wildlife. New anglers will have plenty of shots to land fish, as many species are plentiful. Particularly Bonefish, ‘the ghost of the flats’. 7 Nights, 6 days guided fishing....$3,999 Double Occupancy

I know several of you are considering these last two spots.... book Mexico this week and take $100 off!

Bahamas! Mangrove Cay Club, March 1-7, 2023 
The flats surrounding Andros Island are some of the best bonefishing in the world. The fish are plentiful and average 3 to 5 pounds with regular appearances of 6 to 10 pound fish. Several 11, 12 and 13 pound fish are landed every season. In fact, some of the largest fish have been taken within sight of the lodge. You’ll have plenty of shots whether you are new to saltwater or an expert. Beginners will be able to land their first bone and chase the big ones. Advanced anglers can target the big bones you won't find in other destinations. Regardless, if you have not fished the Bahamas, it is something that should be on your bucket list. Big bonefish are next level!

If you don't get enough fishing in on the flats during the day, further adventure awaits from the dock at the lodge. Shark visit the area frequently (encouraged by a bit of chumming from the lodge). Bulls, blacktip, lemon and nurse sharks frequently cruise by. The lodge will have spinning gear ready for some evening entertainment with sharks or other species if you are so inclined. You can also relax on the edge of the water or by the pool with your beverage and take in the ocean breezes and views. 

We have a fantastic group of ladies signed up for this trip -most of whom have participated in Finatical Flyfishing trips and events previously. All levels of anglers are welcome. As this group is filling right up we added a couple of more spots. Join us to meet a wonderful group and have a great time 'on the salt'!
