Thank You for 2022
This year has been an amazing year of growth, challenges, excitement and fun days on the water with new friends and old. Thanks to all of you who have been a part of it.  

Looking forward to some of the same trips and some new ones in 2023. Argentina 2023 filled quickly with repeat Finatical Flyfishing clients and there couldn't be a better way to kick January off! The Henry's Fork trip has been so popular a second ladies group has been added. At your request - a couples trip will happen on the Henry's Fork in August. 2023 is filling up quickly so if you are interested, grab a remaining spot. Additional trip locations and dates are coming soon.

Thanks again for your continued interest and help in a making 2022 a success. Wishing you and your family a joyous holiday season and wonderful and adventurous New Year!

Northern Patagonia -Argentina
Patagonia River Guides
January 6-14, 2024
Your Northern Patagonia fishing trip will begin at Rinconada Lodge –a remote location offering access to great rivers including the Chimehuin, Malleo, Collon Cura, Quilquihue, Catan lil, Filo Hua Hum, Limay and Alumine. With so much water to choose from we will spend four nights and three days fishing here; allowing you to see a different river every day and have plenty of fishing reports to choose your favorite options with our guides. Each day will include walk/wade or float options and our guides will work with us to provide the best fit for each angler.
 
In addition to the flyfishing opportunities, this Estancia also offers great bird watching and an authentic Patagonian experience.  The Rinconada offers double occupancy lodging with private baths for all rooms. Meals are served in the main house or in the ‘Quincho’ where signature Argentine Asados (authentic BBQ) are cooked over an open fire. We’ll take in an Asado while we are here as well as Argentine wines at lunch and dinner every day. Meals are full of great choices and local flavors.
 
On the fourth day we will fish our way to the Estancia Quemquemtreu. At over 100 years old, this Estancia encompasses close to 200,000 acres and a total of more than 5,000 head of Hereford cattle. It also offers more than 30 miles of private access to the Collon Cura river, 15 miles of private access to Quemquemtreu Creek and the option of floating the last few miles of the Caleufu. Fishing options are endless and we’ll likely be into prime summer hatches which include Mayflies, Stoneflies and the Willow Worm Hatch.

If you are looking for an authentic Argentine experience, Quemquemtreu will share it with you. In addition to the incredible flyfishing, the property is very remote and is as authentic as Patagonia as it gets. The advantages of the remote location will share wildlife sightings (guanacos, rheas, deer, wild boar, and fox to name a few) and an authentic Patagonian cattle ranch and lifestyle. You’ll see the Gauchos working the property, tending to cattle and your Asado.
 
We will spend three nights at Quemquemtreau, giving us an opportunity to fish three days on these amazing waters while taking in another Asado, and the warm and inviting atmosphere of all things Patagonia.

 

Andros Island, Bahamas
Mangrove Cay Club
March 1-7, 2023
Bonefish are one of the most fun saltwater targets you can find. Watching them eat and hearing your reel sing will quickly raise your addiction to saltwater flyfishing!

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 your new to saltwater or an expert.
