PARTS

of the country seldom realize how rural our life is here in Redding, how much terrific fly fishing we have within a rifle shot, and how far we are from a city of any size. Let me help put it in perspective: Just an hour to the north of Redding, the cold, melting snow and aquafirs of volcanic Mount Shasta form the famous Sacramento River, Fall River, Pit River, and the McCloud River. All of these blue ribbon streams are just to the north and east of us and collect in the huge impoundment above Shasta Dam. Redding has a population of just less than 90,000 people (smaller than Billings, Montana). Our three county area is larger than Vermont and has nearly 700 miles of trout fishing in rivers and streams. Siskiyou County, just to the north of Redding, covers more than 6,200 square miles, is larger than Rhode Island, and a population of only 42,000. Our local telephone area code covers an area about the size of South Carolina. It’s more than a 2-hour drive from Redding to the north before you’d reach a town half our size.

If you headed west, you’d be behind the wheel for 3 hours before you hit another decent size town. And between Redding and Reno (5 hours east) there are 4 stop lights. Salmo Shasta, the native rainbow trout of the McCloud River and the Sacramento River, is the strain of fish that was used to stock New Zealand, Argentina, and Chilean Patagonia. This beautifully colored and incredibly strong trout grows quickly and in remarkable numbers in the 30 or 40 miles of the Sacramento River above and below Redding. Some of the West’s best fall and winter steelheading is less than 45 minutes from the front door of The Fly Shop. The Trinity River produces mind boggling numbers of fish each year from October through February. Our local congressman lives more than 2 hours away, and one of our senators lives in a world of her own. Here in the middle of Nowhere, California, the cost of living is bearable, and the quality of life is terrific. It’s hotter than hell for two months of the summer, and we have some of the best fishing in the entire country. That’s why The Fly Shop® has been able to attract the most talented guides, retail staff, and fly fishing travel specialists in the industry.

THE LOWER

Sacramento River

This river below Shasta Dam is one of the top tailwater trout ﬁsheries in the West!

ILD SACRAMENTO R A I N B O W S are big,

tough, and plentiful, and the river’s controlled flows result in near optimum fishing conditions almost every day of the year. In contrast with many rivers in the American West, drift boat fishing for trout on the Lower Sacramento remains a relatively solitary experience throughout most of the year. The average rainbow measures about fifteen inches and trophy-sized trout are not uncommon. While numbers of fish are largely dependent on the river conditions and angling expertise, our skilled guides usually end each day with a boatload of happy anglers. Our guides concentrate on the more than fifty trout-filled miles below Shasta Dam separating Redding from Red Bluff. We use comfortable drift boats, targeting hefty rainbows all year long and add steelhead options to the trout fishing in the fall and winter months. A June and July option is the Sacramento River shad fishing below the Red Bluff Diversion Dam. Wade trips on our nearby rivers and streams

The Lower Sacramento River & the Trinity River below their respective dams rate as two of the top tailwater trout & steelhead fisheries in the country.

Whether you are a spring creek dry fly purist or a die-hard pocket water fisherman, there is a broad selection of blue-ribbon trout fishing streams within an hour’s drive from The Fly Shop®. Often we’ll allow some flexibility selecting the final destination to ensure anglers are in the right place at the right time.

Steelhead Fishing on the Trinity and Klamath Rivers Our guides wrote the book on modern steelheading in California, and we continue to add new chapters each season. Fly fishing for steelhead on the Trinity and Klamath Rivers is regaining popularity as swifly as these fisheries respond to improved habitat and water management. Prime time on both rivers is from late October through early March, while steelheading on the Lower Sacramento River peaks during the late fall. The Trinity River has blossomed into one of the most productive steelhead streams in the Pacific Northwest. We begin drift fishing the Trinity in the early season for Chinooks and summer run steelhead. Our guides focus more on the river in the fall and winter using using sophisticated nymphing techniques and spey methods. The Fly Shop® staff rates as the most successful team of professionals on the river. Fishing on the Klamath, one of the most famous steelhead rivers on the angling map, begins in late summer with halfpounders, and builds through early winter months with the arrival of bigger adult fish, fresh from the sea. The Klamath also has a terrific salmonfly hatch and great trout fishing in June.

is less than an hour away. Many of the best spots are right in our back yard and only minutes from the front door of The Fly Shop®

ORTHERN CALIFORNIA is a diverse angling Mecca, with a temperate climate and reliable fishing nearly every day of the year. Dedicated fly fishermen can target rainbows, brown trout, brookies, steelhead, sea run browns, Chinook salmon, spotted bass, largemouth, smallmouth, stripers, and shad. Our back yard has made its mark as a regional destination for traveling fly fishermen.

Guides seldom repeat the same float on our local rivers, and we often target several different rivers or species during a multi-day trip. Give our guide service management team a call and we’ll tailor a trip that matches your schedule and passions. We can help with local hotels and restaurants, non-angling options, and whatever else is necessary to ensure that your trip to our area is memorable.

Drift Boat Guided Trips The Lower Sacramento

between Shasta Dam and Red Bluff is one of the most productive rainbow fisheries in America. It’s a year ‘round trout fishery and the epicenter of the angling is only a rifle shot from our parking lot. Steelhead are a top target each fall and a rare chance to chase fish in relative solitude with either a single-hand or spey rod.

Klamath River

steelhead, called “half pounders”, run small (15˝ to 24˝) and are a ball in the fall with light tackle. There’s an exciting winter run of adult fish, and an exciting, seldom-pursued population of resident Rainbow trout stuffed into the upper stretches near the Oregon border.

Trinity River

has flourished into one of the most productive steelhead streams in the Pacific Northwest. Our guides focus on the late fall and winter fishing, drifting the Trinity using sophisticated nymphing and more traditional swinging/spey techniques. Steelhead on the Trinity average 4-8 pounds, and the astounding, normal annual escapement to the river is around 35,000 fish. Plenty of steelhead to ensure quality steelhead angling all winter long!

Fall River

is the largest spring creek in California. There are phenomenal mayfly hatches, limited access, sophisticated trout, and exciting fishing from May through mid-November.

Walk & Wade Guided Trips The McCloud River

is of the most beautiful canyon fisheriesin the American west. The rugged, wild, near-roadless, terraced terrrain is broken by granite boulders deep emerald pools, and features superb summer and fall trout fishing.

Pit River

is notorious for tough wading and broad-shouldered, heavy hitting rainbows. It’s now open year round, with a new flow regime that makes it well worth exploring in the winter months. Higher flows have limited access to the river, but the fishing is as good or better than ever.

Upper Sacramento

is a favorite walkand-wade stream featuring classic pocket water, riffles, and pools. Nearly 40 miles of it is easily accessible from Interstate-5, and with loads of easy access, it’s always easy to find un-fished waters. It’s open year ‘round, with the best fishing from mid-May through December.

Hat Creek

is renowned for great hatches, selective rainbows and a proverbial chess game of spring creek fly fishing. This is western selective trout fishing at it’s finest.

There are five Wilderness Areas within an 2-hour drive of town that are full of tiny lakes and miniature streams stuffed with small rainbows, browns, and brookies. Too, there are dozens of nearby small streams that harbor surprising populations of trout.

Additionally, The Fly Shop® has exclusive access to nearly a dozen private fisheries capable of providing accommodations and either a housekeeping cabin or three squares.

The Bollibokka Club This exclusive ﬁshing club surrounds more than 3,000 steep, forested acres, and the ﬁnest 7 miles of the world famous McCloud River.

O L L I B O K K A is just 36 miles north

of The Fly Shop® on the southern slope of Mt Shasta. The Club is bordered upstream by a dozen more miles of private property and is surrounded by a roadless portion of the Shasta Nat’l Forest. All of it extends to the high ridges on either slope of the McCloud canyon. This has been some of the most jealously guarded California angling for the past one hundred plus years. The seven miles of McCloud River making up Bollibokka is broken into two beats. Either can be reserved by club members. The

larger, lower beat is home to the historic Clubhouse, featuring the dining room dating back to the late 1800s, a farm-style residence, fully furnished guest cabin, and a private, stone cottage a roll cast from the river. The Clubhouse complex collectively handles up to 10 anglers, or 14 guests. The upper beat features the Way Station cabin, perched on a rock outcrop gazing down on a classic river pool below, which sleeps up to 6 anglers. Club memberships are perfect for individuals, groups of friends, companies, or organizations. There’s nothing fancy about

the place, but Bollibokka Club’s informal atmosphere is enhanced by its rustic charm, fishing legacy, and isolation. It’s a great place to establish, build, and reinforce relationships in a truly remarkable outdoor setting. Annual Membership dues are $500 a year. Memberships are extremely limited and sought-after, and members have exclusive access to reserve time at any of the club facilities. Members also receive customized Bollibokka Club gear each season, as well as an invitation to the annual Bollibokka Club luncheon at the St. Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco. M C C L O U D ’ S spring-fed source tumbles over several beautiful, steep waterfalls on the slope of Mount Shasta, before it truly becomes a river. The headwaters teem with small brook trout, browns and rainbows. Its character then changes quickly in the canyon above Shasta Lake, becoming a model freestone fishery, as it cascades through beautiful, terraced, rugged mountain terrain, simulataneously morphing into one the finest fly fishing streams on the continent. The San Francisco chapter of the Nature Conservancy stands guard over five miles of the McCloud before it crosses more than twenty miles of private fishing clubs before eventually dumping into Shasta. The last portion of the river above the lake is the Bollibokka. It may be the best of the McCloud River and has been off limits to the public for a century.

Fall River

C A L I F O R N I A’ S T O P S P R I N G C R E E K

Nineteen miles of spring creek a bit more than an hour east of The Fly Shop®

H E F A L L R I V E R A Q U I F I R gushes

from the ground at Thousand Springs Ranch near the small community of Dana, approximately 75 miles east of Redding. Within yards of its artesian origin, a virtual funnel belching thousands of gallons a second up from a single natal aquafir, it becomes a magnificent, crystal clear stream. As the river worms its way downstream toward the confluence with the Pit, it gains both volume and waistline. Less than a mile from its source, the river is a large spring creek navigable by shallow draft Jon boats for more than 16 miles until reaching its first hydroelectric roadblock. Fall River rates as one of the top blue ribbon spring creeks in America.

This riverside resort is strategically located alongside some of the ﬁnest spring creek ﬁshing in the state of California! Va l A t k i n s o n p h o t o s

Circle 7 Ranch & Spinner Fall Lodge are the most popular angling residences and retreats on Fall River.

circle 7 ranch is a lovely riverside summer home resort complex with dead-center access to more than nine miles of terrific fishing on California’s most exclusive spring creek. The ranch’s four angling cottages are directly adjacent to Fall River and outfitted for fishermen. Each has satellite TV, all the amenities, sundecks, barbecues, and fully furnished gourmet kitchens. Options include a fleet of rental boats equipped with both outboards and electric motors. Guests enjoy a communal game room, with pool table, darts, and a juke box with 200 titles. It’s a spot where anglers and their friends or family can relax at the end of the day in comfort. s Cottages accomodate as many as 10 guests and pricing ranges from $410 to $680 per night. s Circle 7 boat rentals are $100 per day s Season is May through mid-November w w w . t h e f ly s h o p . c o m

spinner fall lodge is just below the headwaters of Fall River. There’s a blizzard of mayflies that begin hatching at the end of April, often covering the water like a blanket in June, and continuing through midJuly. The only upper river access is available through Spinner Fall Lodge, three miles above the Spring Creek confluence. The lodge has only eight guest rooms, a bar, restaurant, spacious deck and a spectacular river view. The lounge and restaurant are open to the public. Spinner Fall guests have access to boat rentals, though veteran Fall River anglers often bring their own boat and motor. Lodge rates include breakfast. s Spinner Fall Lodge rates range from $119 to $159 per night, with a minimum 2 night stay, s Guide Service is available

IN THE SHADOW OF MOUNT SHASTA

Stillwater Fly Fishing Redding is surrounded by bass ponds left over from the gold rush and only minutes away from more mid-elevation, trout-ﬁlled mountain lakes than can be counted

H A D O W E D B Y V O L C A N O E S to the

north and east, and with only the steep Trinity Divide separating us from the venerable steelhead rivers to the west, it is easy to forget that the Redding elevation is less than 500 feet. Our home town was a vibrant part of the California gold rush. In fact, the second discovery of gold that helped birth the famous California Gold Rush was found on Clear Creek, just a few miles from our shop, by Major Pearson B. Redding. While mining practices for over a century were less-than-desirable from an ecological standpoint, many of these open pit tailings and quarries have since become phenomenal habitat for largemouth bass.

We’ve got a bunch of great local lakes and private trout and bass fishing within easy striking distance from The Fly Shop nearly every day of the year.

When the mining boom began to slow in the early 1900s, new industries such as logging and hydropower created a host of additional man-made impoundments, from the massive Shasta Dam and Lake Shasta, to literally hundreds of smaller, often private and unknown structures and small remote lakes and reservoirs. Most of these quickly became home to countless rainbow trout, brown trout, and even brook trout in higher elevations. A few of the larger lakes have become world renowned fisheries like the vast Shasta, Trinity, and McCloud Reservoirs, and most of the easily accessible local public lakes are regularly stocked and populated by the bobber and bait crowd. There are a few real gems out there, too, such as the scenic Lake Manzanita in Mount Lassen National Park, that should be on every stillwater anglers annual angling calendar.

The vast majority of these stillwater venues, from the quiet low-elevation bass ponds to scenic alpine lakes, largely remained secret and locked up for nearly a century. We worked hard to arrange lease agreements to a handful of the best regional lakes that were still behind locked gates. Some are one-day fisheries with a simple trespass fee. Others include optional lodging or access to cabins while full-service lodges for anglers and their guests fills a third category. These private ranches range from remote properties with spectacular backyard fisheries, to rustic alpine cabins on forested mountain lakes, or Central Valley bass and trout lakes within city limits.

luk lake is an hour south of Redding, just off Interstate 5, and the most accessible of all our Private Water destinations for anglers driving north from Sacramento (one hour) or the San Francisco Bay Area. Trout fishing is available during the winter off-season (from November through May) when little else is happening. The 65-acre lake is great for float tubers, pontoon-boat anglers, or those with smaller rowboats, drift boats, or even small prams with electric motors. It’s a solid bass fishery during the summer months. Lodging and meals are available at the adjacent Rolling Hills Casino, and there’s a cabin option on the ranch. Fly fishing only, catch-and-release, s $135 per day angler trespass fee s $85 per half day/angler trespass fee s Boat rentals available

Luk Lake is an excellent, eay-to-get to,winter trout ﬁshery, located an hour south of Redding and only a bit more than two hours from the Bay Area. Marcel Siegle photo

steiner lake is right in our backyard, about 10 minutes from the shop. The lake was a by-product of mining and gravel operations before it emerged as an exclusive, fly fishing only bass fishery. Steiner is loaded with fish. It’s a year ‘round venue, with the best top-water action for bucketmouth bass – many over 5 pounds – beginning in March and continuing through November. Guests at Steiner Lake stay in a very comfortable, fully equipped, three-bedroom manufactured home with a spacious barbecue deck overlooking the lake. It’s perfect for groups staying and fishing at the lake, and a great option for anglers in search of a comfortable housekeeping facility as a base while being guided trips on the Sacramento River or fishing our other great local fisheries. s $95 per day angler trespass fee s $55 per half day/angler trespass fee s $200 per night for the optional, comfortable lakeside lodging which accommodates as many as six guests.

bailey creek lodge is a secluded ranch about an hour east of The Fly Shop®. It’s a wonderful spot for families and groups, with a comfortable lodge, pool and hot tub, billiards table, and includes fantastic meals. Guests enjoy easy access to a spring-fed trophy trout lake behind the lodge, full of Jurassic-sized rainbows and panoramic views of the Manton Valley below, as well as over a mile of pristine mountain stream curling just past the back door of the lodge and a bass and bluegill pond just a short hike away. The lodge is open from April through November. s $295 per night for each angler s $165 per night for non-fishing guests

rock creek lake is less than an hour east of Redding, where the California Valley Oak meets the native Ponderosa pine. Snow melts early at this low elevation and RockCreek Lake is a superb spring and fall fishery. In fact it is terrific trout destination from March through November. The 9-acre lake is filled by a small, cold, spring-fed stream and was built in the 1930’s as a water source for a historic lumber mill. The sense of isolation is a refreshing change from other, often-crowded public stillwaters. Rock Creek Lake is filled to the spillway with trophy rainbows and a vestige population of wild brown trout. Action can be non-stop from the spring (March) opener until the first snow falls. Until recently Rock Creek was surrounded by a dense forest. A fire in the fall of 2012 reduced much of the nearby timber, but left a perimeter of woodland and lush riparian habitat. More than a year later, winter rains and aggressive aboriculture are quickly re-establishing the character of the fishery. For whatever reason, the angling is now better than ever. Over this past season a lovely, fully furnished, twobedroom, lakeside cabin was completed at Rock Creek and will open to our guests for the first time in spring of 2014. Reservations should be made well in advance. s $135 per day, per angler, trespass fee s $250 per night for the cabin rental (up to 4 guests)

Luk Lake bass action is non-stop in the spring, summer, and fall.

Fly Fishing Schools

Fly fishing, in the minds of many, is contagious. Once exposed to the sport, it can affect your soul and you will forever be afflicted with the addiction. Those new to the sport are curious to know its nuances and anxious to understand why seasoned anglers are so passionate about fly fishing. Those who’ve done it for years constantly find themselves thirsty for greater knowledge, for one more trick to fool one more wary fish to inexplicably take that silly clump of chicken feathers and deer hair wrapped around a hook.

Freshwater Fly Rods

The best rod for the buck in fly fishing! The Fly Shop’s 4-piece Fresh H2O fly rods rate as the top rod value in the sport. The Fly Shop’s experts took our time developing the Fresh H2O Series. We began with simple reverseengineering, and duplicated the most popular graphite, angler-friendly action that’s ever been used on a trout stream. What we re-created was a fly rod that loads with very little line beyond the tip, and still has the cojones to turn over a long leader. We married action, with modern materials and designed a unique series of rods that compensate for the most common casting errors and a less-than-expert casting stroke. When you put this rod to the test, you’ll discover, as thousands of our fly fishing customers already have, it’s the equal of other, name brand fly rods out there, but with a much more modest price tag. The result is that our Fresh H2O rods don’t require a sophisticated, fine-tuned sense of timing to deliver flies delicately, or on target at any distance. They’re a baby step away from the trend to ultra-fast, competitive action and a slight shift toward (actually back to) the smooth, forgiving rod action best suiting most anglers. We’ve spent 36 years building our reputation and, like us, these rods deliver everything we’ve promised. You won’t find a better performing rod at this price anywhere in the world of fly fishing. We guarantee it!

Add any of The Fly Shop’s fly rods to any of The Fly Shop’s terrific fly reels and you’ll get an even greater bargain. More than that, you’ll be fishing with a rod and reel you can be proud to own and confident that it will meet any challenge. You won’t ﬁnd another rod like this, with the same superb action or price tag, in any other ﬂy shop or any other catalog in the world! Extra Tip We’re common-sense fishermen here at The Fly Shop® and we understand the logic of including an extra tip with every H2O and Signature fly rod. It’s a simple, built-in guarantee, at no extra charge, that’ll keep you fishing on the stream instead of waiting for the UPS truck. Our warranty All our Fresh H2O and Signature Series rods are fully warranteed by The Fly Shop®. We don’t care how it broke; we’ll replace or repair any of our rods for the original purchaser, charging just $25. Just send us what’s left of the rod along with your return address and a check or credit card number. We’ll do our part and try to get the rod started on its way back to you the next day.

Each Fresh H2O model is unique Our smooth trout rods will protect light tippet on the strike and during the battle and don’t behave like steelhead rods. Our steelhead rods have the action and all the power you’ll need to pack the mail and deliver flies as far as necessary. The 9-foot length is perfect and practical for steam, river, and stillwater situations. It‘s the optimum length for modern graphite. All five of our 2014 models are identically priced at a mere $149. with a segmented rod and reel pouch case and an extra fly rod tip. The Hat Creek & Fall River models are light 4 and 5 weights designed to deliver dry flies and smaller nymphs effortlessly and accurately. They have enough muscle to cover our broad, western spring creeks and employ the very forgiving actions that make these rods great. Both rods naturally open up the loop to help turn over long leaders and are as ideal for small indicator nymphing as they are for dry flies. Our Sacramento River rod is a 6 weight, and considered the best all ‘round nymph and dry fly rod in the line up. This model is powerful enough for streamers, yet delicate enough for most dry fly fishing. The Trinity & Mad River rod models are virtual wrist rockets with powerful actions and enough muscle to make casting heavy flies or long distance easier. Both rods have fighting butts and anodized reel seats.

Signature H2O Indicator Rods Nobody knows more about indicator fishing for trout and steelhead than The Fly Shop’s team of Sacramento River experts. And we’ve built what’s now recognized as the best rod out there for fishing indicators, split shot and nymphs, or multi-fly rigs. There’s enough power in the butt to stack-mend effortlessly, and the stiffer tip ensures the rod won’t buckle under the weight of a multi-fly rig. Our indicator rod is slightly longer to handle extra line, control mending, and improve the presentation of indicator style rigs. The tip is slightly stronger than the softer center sections of the rod, forcing the rod to flex lower down the blank, automatically opening the loop and making it easy to toss indicator terminal tackle without tangling or messing up. This rod makes indicator fishing almost effortless, and will definitely produce more action!

The Signature Series is designed to allow the ace or slightly less-than-expert angler to deliver flies accurately, at any distance, without a lot of effort. These high performance rods employ what was once called “reserve power”, the resilience to be able to really apply extra pressure to the casting arc and drive the line a little farther, fight a stiff wind, or handle a heavier fly when necessary. They’re exactly the right rod for experienced anglers and fishermen who have dialed in their casting stroke. Signature rods features a non-glare finish, and 5 and 6 weight rods sport buckeye, hardwood reel inserts.

Those identical attributes are important when anglers try to use the same 5 or 6 weight rod to fish different situations and with different density lines (floating, sink tip, full sinking, etc.). The BIIIx rods really can do it all!

hallmark since 1929, the Boron IIIx is unlike any other rod that they (or anyone else) has made. Using the newest generation of high modulus boron/graphite composite, they’ve created a rod capable of pinpoint accuracy. It’s powerful, responsive, and has an impressive casting spectrum.

Boron IIIx Fly Rods

A new generation in fly rod development Contemporary fast action rods are often great at long distance, but usually fall short of the mark at making great short casts. Once in a while, you’ve got to launch a cast. But most of the time, its short casts that produce a strike. BIIIx rods can do it all! Those attributes are important when anglers try to use the same 5 or 6 weight rod to fish different situations with different density lines (floating, sink tip, full sinking) or gently deliver a bonefish fly.

Boron IIILs (LS means light series)

Building on a successful idea Building on the remarkable success of the 2013 introduction of the BIIIx and BIISx Winston has reached back into their bag of tricks and produced a boron/graphite version of the BIIIx with a delicate but crisp, contemporary action to compete with the hallmark, light trout rods which brought them to prominence in the 1st place. The new BIIILs rods are significantly more sensitive in the 3, 4, and 5 weight models than the BIIIx predecessor. They’re not better for everyone, but they are more delicate and better suited for small streams and light tippets. These lightweights have an incredible touch and feel and should be one of the first choices for those guys who enjoy fishing for small fish with a light line and little flies. Available only in 2 through 5 weight models, the new BIIILs rods are as close to jewelery as a fly rod can get. Superbly finished, these rods sport the finest cork we’ve ever seen, and reel seats that these blanks can be proud to wear. BIIILS 4-Piece Rods Model

Boron IIISx (super-maximum)

Redefining the rules of fair chase Winston has also incorporated their experience with the revolutionary generation of BIIIx high modulus boron/graphite composites rods and built an entirely new rod for big rivers, big saltwater flats, and big, strong fresh and saltwater fish. Created and designed for power and distance Winston BIIISx delivers both in spades. At the same time, these rods give the light tackle enthusiast the ability to use significantly lighter rods and lines to reach out farther and deliver flies in the wind or whip a trophy trout, bonefish, or tarpon. The BIIISx specialty models all have the muscle necessary to conquer distance, the elements, and strong fish. They’ll let sporting anglers attack tough fish with lighter artillery and we believe they’ve completely redefined the rules of fair chase and the pleasure of winning or losing a fight for some of us.

SAGE

The leader in fly rod technology since 1980 relies on fundamental design and expert production methods O T H E R S have reached out to develop new composites (boron/graphite) or endorsed new bonding agents (Sintrix matrix) to create their latest fly rods, Sage has chosen a more fundamental, fabrication change in the development of their new products and design. It’s called Konnetic technology.

The way they’ve built their newest generation of rods is by marrying exclusive, proprietary graphites to each other in a manner which the compresses the layers and aligns the fibers in a particular way. The result is a unique rod blank that travels in a consistent, stable, one-dimensional plane, without vibration.

doubt, the finest rod Sage has ever made. That is quite a claim, because Sage has made some of the best rods that have ever cast a fly. With the ONE, Sage created a rod with a more stable casting stroke. It transmits less vibration and allows the rod to track perfectly, accurately, and effortlessly. That translates into the smoothest transition of power from the grip to the tip you’ve ever felt; and that “feel” improves the casting stroke for the newcomer to the sport as much as it benefits the expert. Claims to be “all water rods” are usually dismissed by experts as an impossibility. But this design lend it to every facet of fly fishing. It’s an extraordinary blend of strength and finesse and unquestionably the best fly rod Sage has ever made.

SAGE Xi3

SAGE VXP

SAGE TXL-F

Sage has been the first name in saltwater fly rods since 1980. There may be other great trout rods, but when it comes to the flats there just has never been a substitute for Sage. The Xi3 models feature larger tip tops and guides, specialized reel seats, and every component is anodized and saltwater resistant. All Xi3 models have a fighting butt. Everything about these rods spells high performance on the flats.

Terrific rods for the average caster, the VXP is undoubtedly the top value in the entire Sage lineup and the least expensive opportunity to arm yourself with a quality rod from one of the premier fly rod companies.

TXL-F rods are all about maximizing the fun in fly fishing and getting more pleasure out of every fish; no matter how big it is! They rate as the best high-country and small stream fly rod we’ve ever used and will introduce (or perhaps reintroduce) an entirely new dimension to the sport for the angler interested in squeezing every ounce of fun out of small streams and the brookies and muscle-bound miniature trout that call them home. TXL-F rods are incredibly delicate, lightweight, and the longest of these 4-piece models breaks down to a case only 24˝ long.

employed the identical engineering, the same technology and proprietary, space-age graphite used in creating the ONE to develop an even more powerful, new, fresh and saltwater series of rods. It’s the ONE on meth. Ultra-powerful, while still ultralight and ultra-smooth, these new rods have no noticeable vibration and create such remarkable line speeds that they’ll carry the biggest, bulkiest, heaviest flies in your box out to spots you couldn’t even imagine before. A good caster won’t feel that he has to push the METHOD rod to reach beyond previous casting limits. Here at The Fly Shop, we feel that these new rods offer the ultimate in saltwater and streamer performance. They’re remarkably powerful and accurate in the hands of an expert.

Unbelievably powerful and accurate, the Bass II rods make it easy to drop a streamer or hair frog with pinpoint precision in mangroves or ponds. The Largemouth and Peacock models have become the rods of choice in Brazil and most of the veteran anglers chasing dorado in Argentina and Bolivia use nothing else.

SCOTT RADIAN N O T T O B E O U T D O N E by their competition, the Scott Rod

Company has responded to the innovations introduced by other progessive American and British rod manufacurers with it’s own way to improve the touch and feel of their fly rods. Scott calls their new technology ReAct. What they’ve attempted to do is to create a fast action, high line speed rod with all the feel of a presentation rod. How? By minimizing those same energy-sapping vibrations that have now been recognized to cause most contemporary fly rods to “wobble” during the casting stroke. Simply put, most fly rods don’t track perfectly. They vibrate and move out of the single plane the rod should be travelling. The end result is that power to the fly line isn’t applied uniformly and in a single direction. If that doesn’t sound familiar or make sense to you, then just read our explanation of the Sage Konnetic energy technology and how this concept applies to their fly rod performance.

Radian 4-Piece Rod Models Model

Scott Radian

Until recently, anglers have had to choose between a fly rod with power and line speed or rods with touch and feel. We think those days are over and that most anglers will agree these new models cast better, mend better and will deliver the fly farther and more precisely with less effort. The Scott Radian features more than technology and is one of the top rods ever to grace a rod rack! The cork is absolutely excellent, and the rod is complemented by titanium SiC stripping guides, custom burl box elder reel seats, and the new patented Universal snake guides.

Scott’s Powerful S4S models

Extremely Durable, Light, Powerful and Accurate

The fast-action Scott S4S trout models have power built into every single inch, and these rods deliver the flies at any practical distance. Particularly appropriate for saltwater and dorado, the S4S models employ a matrix reinforcement technology unique to Scott resulting in powerful and durable rods. That same reinforcement gives the Scott S4S rods remarkable lifting strength and a tip that won’t fade when it’s necessary to anchor up a heavy fish out of the water, or drive a cast a bit harder into the teeth of a stiff wind.

S4S 4-Piece Rod Models

Scott (Saltwater) S4S rods are refined with specialized components added to match the more demanding conditions on the flats or in the jungle. It’s a long-distance rod in all respects and enjoys the saltwater specialty parts. Each component on the S4S models was selected for ultimate performance in the salt. Low-glare blank finishes are complemented by corrosion resistant, nickel titanium recoil snake guides, SIC strippers, and a beautiful anodized reel seat.

Hardy’s

SINTRIX™ FLY ROD These revolutionary rods live up to every bit of the hype and all of their claims H A R D Y C L A I M S they’re the best rods they’ve

ever made. Actually they claim these are the best rods anyone has made and it’s tough to argue with all the experts who agree. The reason is Sintrix™, the brand name for the Hardy’s silica nano matrix rod material. Sintrix™ is essentially a unique resin that is impregnated with silica nano spheres. That resin is then used to impregnate Hardy’s proprietary graphite. Using Sintrix™ creates a superstrong bond, and in most cases less material is

required to build the blank and considerable blank weight is saved. The end result is that Sintrix™ rods are lightweight, incredibly strong, remarkably sensitive, and just a pleasure to cast. There is little argument that development of the Sintrix™ material has spawned the first new generation of fly rods in more than two decades, and has driven other manufacturers to respond with their own improved technology.

NV Nautilus has been our number one recommendation for saltwater fly fishing since the turn of the century. It is a maintenance-free, lightweight reel with the ultimate drag system and titanium components.

Hatch Finatic

Experts rate this as one of the finest fresh and saltwater reels in the world! In 2012 Hatch made several major steps in what seems to be a constant search for reel perfection, and fashioned several significant cosmetic and feature changes to what was their Monsoon model. What then became the new Finatic reels definitely preserved the integrity of a line-up that had already become a brand name synonomous with quality and high performance. The Finatic reels are 6-15% lighter than any previous Hatch reel, a feat accomplished by a lighter frame design, substantial machining, and additional frame and spool porting. Subtle improvements were made in the drag, reel foot and elsewhere.

In the end, the vastly improved Finatic frames and spools are completely interchangeable with similar-sized Monsoon and Pulse models (which was a design and engineering accomplishment in itself). At extremely high RPM’s there’s absolutely no reel or spool vibration. All accomplished without raising the price. Finatic reels will cover the bases from bonefish to redfish, to carp or tarpon and spey. They’re a great choice.

They’ve been synonymous with quality and reliability for two decades, and are unquestionably the reel by which all the other heavy duty reels have been measured. While there have been various improvements over the years, there are things that have never changed. Specifically, a super-smooth, infinitely adjustable cork drag, married to a strong, lightweight aluminum frame and large spool for increased line retrieval speed. That drag is what makes the reel equally at home on the trout stream, the salt flats, and demanding blue water. It can be set light enough to protect the finest tippet, or cranked down tight enough to stop a sub.

Mastery Specialty Fly Lines

Using 3M’s revolutionary micro-replication technology, Scientific Anglers has created the radically different “textured” finish and, arguably, one of the finest lines ever made. It is a concept that has caused the entire fly fishing world to reconsider the way fly lines are built. SA’s Sharkskin was the first line developed using this technology, which we found too abrasive. This new generation of “textured lines” realizes all its potential.

Mastery Textured Trout Taper

Mastery Bonefish Taper

The textured design on the line involves precise repetitive, circular, dimpled patterns surrounding the fly line, much like a golf ball, that dramatically reduces friction and adds effortless distance to every cast. Precise micro-texturing also traps air into the valleys of the surface and it helps lift the textured line off the water Textured Trout lines should not be confused with the much more abrasive Sharkskin lines. Textured Trout Lines are higher floaters and easier to mend and roll cast than ever before. The Trout Line is a great all around fly line for both short and long casts. This is the top Scientific Anglers line ever spooled on a reel. • • • •

The Air Cel was the original, modern floating fly line. It’s a swell line for beginners, and with a little care, should last for years. The line is exceptionally durable and the flotation is very dependable. The low memory of the core allows for trouble-free, high-floating use in both temperate and cold climates. The weight forward format of the line combines with a long belly to help make this line easy to cast in both short and medium distance situations. This is a lot of fly line for the buck and a great investment for the beginning angler.

$44.95

Headstart lines give the novice angler an edge by adding about half a line weight to the first 30 feet of the fly line and making it easier to cast. These headstart lines load rods more quickly and shoot a bit farther with less effort. They also feature a stiff, braided core, and a short, exaggerated head turns flies over easily. It’s the best beginner line made. • Yellow color #5356 WF4F 5357 WF5F

Designed by a sophisticated tarpon guide for spooky fish, this textured line loads quickly and casts like a laser. The line surface helps in a bunch of ways: It sheds water on the back cast, shoots a mile, and floats like a cork. The low memory core is ideal for warm climates and this saltwater taper is a terrific, all ‘round bonefish, permit, and tarpon fly line.

Probably the best fly line made for casting large flies, these textured models have a dynamic front taper, load quickly and shoot a mile. Very little memory with a mild climate core.

Mastery Headstart Floating Fly Line

$74.95

Expert input from professional redfish guides resulted in a unique taper that is everything you’ll want in this line:

This terrific new line features a super high floating orange tip for ultimate line control and a powerful front taper for turning over heavily weighted flies, split shot, and air resistant indicators.

Mastery Textured Titan Taper

Simply a larger version of the incomparable Mastery Floating Bonefish Taper that incorporates every feature and uses the same braided monofilament core. Like the Mastery Bonefish Taper, each Tarpon Taper line weight has a unique taper that helps reduce false casting, load the rod quickly at short distances and turn over big flies. Mastery Tarpon Taper fly lines have a stiff core, a smooth finish, and are the most popular tarpon fly line ever made!

The revolutionary textured features are a real plus in both tight places and where long distance casting is demanded. The new Textured GPX fly lines are half a line weight heavier than normal to load fast action rods easier and quicker, and to add distance, muscle, and power that will help battle stiff winds.

Creative Specialty Fresh and Saltwater Fly Lines

The guys from RIO, through constant innovation, have been a fly line industry leader for a decade. Never has that been more evident than with the introduction of the remarkable Rio Gold floating lines and their specialty Indicator Floating fly line and Steelhead Line. You have to fish them to believe how well they perform.

Rio Gold our most popular floating line

The Rio Gold is the closest thing to an all ‘round fly line that has ever been wound on a reel. This incredible taper tosses a stable loop at close or long range and will pitch a fly to the horizon. It’ll deliver tiny flies delicately, turn over heavy leaders, and punch a streamer into the wind. What sets the Rio Gold apart from the rest of the crowd are the terrific tapers they build into each line, and this is their best yet. The long rear taper is excellent for mending and roll casting, and the running line and head are different colors, making it easy to find the line’s perfect loading point.

Rio Perception Floating Line

The Perception trout line is the newest addition to the Rio family of fly lines. Built with an ultra-low stretch core, for a more firm connection to the fly, greater ability to detect subtle strikes, and a more immediate and sure strike and set of the hook. The new tri-coloration of the fly line is intended to help measure distance and improve accuracy at a quick glance. For a fact, the line is incredibly sensitive and easy to help lift and mend. The line floats as high as any line ever made and is very highly rated by The Fly Shop staff. • Three-color line assures accurate distance estimation • Easy Identification of the line • Looped on both ends • Color: Green/Camo/Tan • 100´ long $89.95 #17210 WF3F #17212 WF5F #17214 WF7F 17211 WF4F 17213 WF6F 17215 WF8F

Rio Outbound Freshwater Short Floating Fly Line

Rio’s Outbound Short has a short head and is ideal for wading anglers and for coping with tough winds and big flies. The head is 30´ long and insures fast, one-shot casts for maximum distance. Lighter lines are excellent for trout fishing from a drift boat, while the larger models are very appropriate for striper fishing. These lines are built with a supple core and feature a cold water coating for extra distance. Terrific when you need to launch a fly! • Moss color with an Ivory running line #6109 WF5F #6111 WF7F 6110 WF6F 6112 WF8F

Rio (Trout) Steelhead & Atlantic Salmon Floating Line

The best indicator line ever spooled on a reel! This is our favorite on the Trinity and Sacramento River for tossing or mending indicators, and delivering large tandem nymphs and large dry flies effortlessly. It was custom-tailored for large western rivers with a slightly larger rear belly to load rods quickly and a narrow diameter running section to help add distance. The long belly simplifies roll casting, single-handed spey casts, overhead casting, and mending.

The Fly Shop® staff is in the middle of some great smallmouth country. We’ve field tested these lines and are convinced that they are terrific.

The Rio Indicator II Line with 24˝ indicator tip

Rio’s newly re-designed Indicator II line is specifically built to cast indicators with ease, whether its for trout or steelhead. The thick diameter, high floating, easy-viz tip will turn over the largest of indicators, while the ultralong head is easy to mend and control the fly at long range. This model was tailored for large western rivers with a slightly larger rear belly to load rods quickly and a narrow diameter running section to help add distance. The high floating tip made features a highly visible, looped, 24˝ fluorescent section to make detecting strikes even easier. The Indicator II Line mends easily and makes it a cinch to get a long, drag-free drift. This has quickly become a favorite on the Sacramento, Pit, McCloud and our other large western trout streams for indicator angling. This specialized line will really help deliver complicated, bulky, multiple-nymph/split shot combinations accurately and with little effort.

Specialty Sinking Lines & Tips

AirFlo X-CEED Super - Dri Fly Line

Rio Lake Series Sinking Fly Lines Non-stretch, density compensated, and full sinking This generation of full sinking lines is ideal for lakes and slow moving spring creeks. A “non-stretch” core helps detect the softest take and that increased sensitivity the Density Compensation feature means the tip section is higher density (faster sinking) tip than the belly. There’s no sag in the line, and you get a more direct connection to the fly. You’ll have a very straight contact between the fly and rod, feel more strikes, and that will translate into more solid hook ups. • Welded loop on the front end of every model

These long sink tips are perfect for sea trout, steelhead, stripers, salmon, and trout. The short thick body section behind the 24´ sinking section keeps the line from hinging.

INTRODUCING THE FLY SHOP’S

Spey & Switch Rod Lineup S P E Y R O D R E V O L U T I O N on this side of the Atlantic has spawned a new generation of both spey and switch rods and made it an easier skill to learn and much easier to master. Too, development of specialized lines that’ll load spey and switch rods easily has improved the learning curve. At the same time, easyto-match, looped heads, tips, and leaders have made spey fishing far more effective in far more situations.

THE

There’s little argument now that spey rods cover the kind of rivers harboring steelhead, sea trout, and both Atlantic and Pacific salmon more effectively and easily than single-handed fly rods. Mastering the basics of spey casting isn’t difficult with the new, modern equipment options. Anglers familiar with casting dynamics pick it up quickly with a little practice or instruction. We can help.

Sage Spey & Switch Rods

S A G E H A S D E E P R O O T S in our part of the country and the Bainbridge Island boys

are well-known steelhead, salmon and big river fanatics who have a passion for spey and switch rods. It’s not surprising, then, that Sage has led the charge in the 2-handed revolution or any wonder, with their passion for both the sport and cutting edge rod design, that their double handed models are the most popular in the world of spey fishing. SAGE METHOD AND ONE SWITCH

& SPEY MODELS

New-age Method and ONE rods are the top spey models this fly fishing icon has developed to date. Why? The “Konnetic” principle has even more beneficial application in long rods. What is it? Sage’s “Konnetic” technology is a combination of fabrication technique and Sage’s proprietary resin and G5 Graphite. Their new Method and ONE blanks are significantly stable. That means less “wobble” as the rod moves through the casting stroke. It’s more than hype. These new rods track perfectly and recover quickly and completely. The decreased lateral movement and reduced vibration optimizes load and line speed for long, smooth, flawless casts. Then it helps beyond the cast by improving the connection to the line, mend, swing and fly.

These new double-handed models generate power quickly and launch the line with less effort than ever before. Their lighter weight and decidedly thinner profiles are welcome assets to a long day of fishing and will reduce casting fatigue, minimize wind resistance, and make a day of hard fishing that much more pleasurable.

to make accurate, long casts easily and all day long. Paired with the right Skagit or Scandi line these models can handle any spey situation. Echo’s TR models are, arguably, the very best value in long rods. E C H O ’ S S R switch rods set a new standard for ease, versatility, and econ-

omy. Each of the four models is very responsive, and the quick action is ideal for tight spots and precision casts, yet they’ll load completely when speystyle casts are necessary. The rods will handle a mile of line in the air and are just the ticket for tossing trout streamers in the broad rivers of the American west and the trophy trout and silver salmon rivers of Alaska.

Scandinavian (Scandi) Style Floating Shooting Heads

Lines, Tips & Leaders

AirFlo Salmon, Steelhead & Sea Trout Poly Leaders High tech tapered Poly Leaders are the perfect companion to Scandi floating lines. They’ve quickly become the first choice of sophisticated spey fishermen and are ideal for tossing smaller, lighter sinking or floating flies in shallow or medium depth rivers. Using Poly Leaders eliminates the need for bulky, stiff tapered leaders and changing them is a snap. Poly Leaders feature supple welded loops at the butt and micro loops up front that connect with the tippet. The ten footers are also superb leaders when used with single handed rods! Length

Rio Switch Chucker

$89.95

The rise in popularity of Spey rods over the last decade has demonstrated to trout fishermen the effectiveness of twohanded casting techniques for steelhead, salmon, and sea trout. The logical transition for lots of us trout guys, and an additional element to our sporting pleasure is a switch rod for big trout rivers, small steelhead territory, tossing mice and streamers in Kamchatka, or streamers in Alaska. The Switch Chucker is an easy casting, extremely powerful line with a short-head designed to toss indicators, sink tips and large flies. It’s the easist casting line for switch rods and a great way to make the move to the dark side simple. Code: Rod Weight Grain Weight Head Length

Scandi heads are designed to cast tight loops and make long distance casts as easily and effortlessly as possible. These type of spey lines are ideal for summer and fall steelhead, Atlantic salmon, and sea trout when the fish are aggressive and move to the surface. All our Scandi heads are factory looped on each end. Scandi-type floating shooting heads attach at the rear to any shooting line (see page 31), which is, in turn attached to backing and the reel. At the front end most experts just attach a 10´ to 14´ poly or mono leader. Poly leaders are ideal to fish just below the surface, or a tapered mono leader to skate dries.

Skagit Style Shooting Heads

Rio MOW Skagit Tips

These lines were developed by steelhead anglers to fish deep sinking tips and larger flies in winter conditions. The compact heads allow anglers to fish very dense, heavy tips and larger flies than is possible with longer spey lines. They also excel in windy conditions and help cast smaller D-loops when you’ve got your back to the wall. Skagit shooting heads have short, dynamic tapers designed to generate enough power to deliver deep sinking tips. Head lengths vary from 20 to 30 feet with looped ends. The rear is attached to running line, and tips (either MOW, iMOW or custom) are added to the front, creating a full head and maximum versatility.

Gone is the need for complicated cheaters now that Rio’s expert staff (McCune/O’Donnell/Ward) have developed these Skagit tips using a formula that combines varying percentages of floating and (different length) sinking sections. The Skagit MOW tips are the fishiest, easiest casting, user-friendly tips ever made. They’ll allow anglers using Skagit lines to cover every likely fishing situation and condition and are appropriate for all spey rods. The MOW tips are the absolute ultimate in versatility. Heavier tips use more dense versions of seamlessly connected sections of Tungsten line. One kit covers all the bases for your rod. Color-coded and looped. Learn more on youtube.com (the key word is MOW tips)

AirFlo Skagit Compact Heads

$54.95

The most popular two handed line in America, and for good reasons. The short, looped floating Compact Heads should be married to a shooting line and capped with a tungsten sinking tip appropriate for the situation and rod. Skagit Compact Heads are available in 30 grain increments, beginning at 360 grains (for a 4/5 rod) and increasing to 720 grains (10 weight). These lines easily toss the heavily weighted flies at the end of 5´ to 15´ of tungsten. Skagit Compact Head Code:

Match a Skagit Compact with any sinking tip, back it up with your favorite running line, and you’ve got the easiest switch rod sink tip system money can buy. Skagit Switch Code: Rod Weight

The Fly Shop’s Mono Leaders & Tippets

Maxima Ultra Green Tippet

Maxima Ultra Green is a traditional choice of many professionals. It’s a tried and true mono material that has superb knot strength and is incredibly abrasion resistant. The soft, supple material has very little memory in larger diameter, and cold weather doesn’t make it stiff and brittle. Maxima remains relatively inexpensive, and many of our traditional steelhead and salmon fishermen just won’t accept any substitute. Maxima Ultra Green Monofilament

After two years of testing and product development, we came up with our own leaders and tippet The Fly Shop® is proud to have wear our label! The Fly Shop’s leaders are designed by experts for expert performance. Each leader and corresponding tippet become progressively more supple as the diameter diminishes. We call it our “Progressive Performance Design.” A simple, but remarkable change in design making each one of our leaders an individually unique product. Fine leaders and tippet are supple and nearly memory-free, while our heavier leaders are stiff in the butt section (the way they should be). They’ll deliver larger flies and turn over better at any distance.

• Our leaders are packaged two per pack. • Great quality at half the price! • One of the best values in fly fishing!

Our Signature Series waders deliver the perfect combination of function and features. They are innovative, straight-forward chest models made for serious anglers who demand practical design and ﬂawless performance. These are the best stockingfoot wader value in the world of fishing.

The bundle of well designed features and pockets is hard to believe when compared to the modest price tag hanging off the sensible suspenders. Sizing Our line-up includes the most common sizes.

WORK H A R D every year to make sure the best traditional patterns and the most successful flies on the market are in our catalog. But we don’t stop there. Our expert staff won’t settle for anything but the finest commercially tied flies. In fact, there are lots of other expert tiers using our commercially tied flies as models at their vise, and thousands of angling fanatics travelling to exotic rivers fill their boxes before their trip with our patterns. They know cheap flies are cheap for a reason, and are one of the worst investments you can make in fly fishing. Poorly tied flies just don’t last as long or work as well as flies that use quality materials and are well constructed. Key components include quality hooks. The best hooks are sharper, more durable, and just cost more. The choice of hook model, too, is critical to fly design and landing fish. Stiff dry fly hackle (that’s the right length) will float flies higher in the water, absorb less moisture, and keep those dry flies floating longer. They’ll be more visible, more lifelike and, at the end of the day, they’ll have caught more fish. E

We’re named The Fly Shop® for a reason. We’ve got the best fly fishing staff in the country, right here in “River City”. They’re real experts who are dedicated to the sport. Our team of professionals has developed many of the patterns that are now standards in fly fishing. The flies our guys came up with for local streams, rivers and spring creeks have been adopted elsewhere simply because they work so well. It’s been rare that we’ve had any price increases in the past decade in spite of inflation and dramatic increases in the cost of materials and hooks. We’ve held that line as part of The Fly Shop’s commitment to bringing you the best quality flies with the lowest possible price tag. The Fly Shop® has been outfitting fly fishermen for more than thirty years. We know what flies work, from Alaska to Argentina, Brazil to the Bahamas, and from Kamchatka to Kalamazoo. We’re sure that you’ll find the right fly in our selection, and if you don’t, just give us a call and we’ll add the advice that might make the difference between a good fishing trip and a great one.

Caddis dry flies, pupa & larva There are about 12,000 known kinds of caddis (tricoptera). Some of the old-timers call them sedges. The insect is closely related to moths and butterflies, but begin their lives in the water. They’re tougher than mayflies. Maybe that’s why there are so many of them and why they’re so important in the trout diet.

It’s a remarkarble fly we’ve found just knocks the spots off mid-summer trout on all our local fisheries. Terrific when fished as a dropper below a high floating dry caddis, attractor, or an indicator.

T H E R E ’ S P R O B A B L Y no more popular terrestrial trout fly (or bait), than the grasshopper.

It’s easy to see, easy to use, very effective, and belongs in everyone’s fly box. As each summer progresses, the weather warms, the grasslands dry, and hoppers get larger and move closer to the stream banks, lake shore, and farm ponds, seeking both food and moisture. Fly fishermen should always have a selection of patterns and sizes on hand. The proper choice will depend on how rough the stream or smooth the stillwater might be, how strong the wind, and how sophisticated or wary the trout are.

Stoneﬂies & Attractors

These high-floating patterns are an indispensable part of every serious angler’s toolbox. The legendary Joe Brooks had it right. “The popularity of high visibility flies is based on nothing more than the fact that large flies routinely produce large trout.”

Opportunistic Feeders L A R G E T R O U T often hold in fast-moving, heavy water. The swift flow doesn’t give them much time to take a good look at what’s being served up. (Consider that may be the reason their stomachs are often filled with rocks, twigs, and other debris.) What they do pay attention to is size, silhouette, color and presentation; and not necessarily in that order.

There’s only guesses as to why a sea trout might attack a skated Madame X, or what a Royal Humpy might imitate. Remember we’re dealing with a critter that has a brain the size of a lentil, and there are probably only three things on their mind; food, sex, and safety. Stoneflies, salmonflies, big terrestrials, forage fish, and larger mayflies all represent full-course meals to even the most wary of trout.

Midges T H E S E L I T T L E G U Y S are found

everywhere. All the time. If a fish isn’t eating (or even if it is) a stonefly, mayfly or caddis, it is probably feasting on tiny midges. The technical name for these small, two-winged insects is chironomids. Don’t let their size fool you – lots of large Western tailwater trout are hooked on these miniatures. There’s no need to get too complicated with midge patterns as the natural from Mother Nature is a very simple looking creature. Because they’re so small, it isn’t important to get too technical. In matching a midge hatch, search your box for the correct size, silhouette and color (in that order). Marcel Siegle photo

What drives a salmon to strike a fly is pure conjecture. It’s probably some aggressive, territorial, primal urge to protect or defend. Whatever the reason, this is a great sampling of flies that have consistently been found effective for both Kings and Silvers.

▲ Low mortality: If a fish swallows the hook, cut the leader: the hook will dissolve without causing more harm. Just replace the hook and continue fishing. ▲ Options: The pattern size and style of a tube fly aren't dependent on hook style or size. ▲ Land more fish: When fighting the fish, less hook leverage with shorter shank hooks result in a higher percentage of fish caught.

Consider: Water depth, and bottom color for ﬂats success. B O N E F I S H , A N D P E R M I T don’t feed looking up, or

even on a level plane much of the time. Like most fish, they are interested only in food, preservation, and sex. What that means is that in order to be effective, the angler has to lead the fish, placing the fly far enough in front of the fish that the lure has enough time to reach the dinner table, which is almost always the bottom. In shallow water, the fly may only require a second or two to reach the feeding zone. On deeper flats it may take several seconds to reach the proper depth, depending on the weight of the fly. One trick is to occasionally drop the fly into the water you are wading or poling. Count, in seconds, the time it takes the fly to reach the bottom. If it’s a deep flat, move to a fly with more weight (usually determined by the weighted eye); then consider how quickly your prey is travelling and adjust how far you need to lead the fish in order to be successful. Too, try to choose flies that are appropriately colored for the flats you’re fishing. Darker flies for grassy or darker bottoms; lighter-colored flies for light-colored bottoms.

Custom Fly Selections F L I E S A R E M O R E P R O D U C T I V E when they’ve been selected by

experts who know the score. Sure, identical silver salmon flies may work everywhere in Alaska, but what’s successful for Alaska rainbows in June is totally inappropriate in September, and a Fall River caddis selection won’t be much good on Oregon’s Deschutes. A sea trout selection for the Rio Grande definitely won’t be right for the slow pools of the Gallegos just like bonefish flies for the deep flats off Andros’ west side won’t work well on the shallow flats of Abaco, and will be distinctly different than what you’ll want in your fly box for Belize or Cuba. With our help, you can save time, money, and show up well-prepared to catch fish with the right flies for your destination. The Fly Shop’s team of travel pros have been about everywhere on the angling map. Our experienced staff has been gearing up fly rodders and outfittting sophisticated domestic and international fly fishing trips for more than three decades. We’ve got the world’s largest inventory of flies at our fingertips. In fact, The Fly Shop has a larger selection to choose from than you’ll find in the combined Orvis, Cabela’s, and Bass Pro catalogs. Helping anglers make the right choice from our huge fly assortment is one of the things that we do best. These are not pre-packaged selections! Our team of professionals fill every order individually, picking flies we know will work. We’ll make sure your fly box is filled with exactly what you’ll need and just what we’d choose for ourselves. Whether you are headed to Alaska for king salmon, Kamchatka for rainbows, or Bolivia for Dorado, you’ll end up with a first-class selection of flies; and each one will be totally on-target for where you’re headed. Finally, consider that The Fly Shop sells nothing but the highest quality flies in the sport, tied by craftsmen to our own exacting standards using nothing but the finest materials, and hooks. Give us a call.

Travelling Anglers can load up and buy all the flies they might think they need for a trip, then return all those flies that are unused and in original condition within 60 days of the purchase for an in-store credit. This is an open invitation to travelling anglers (whether you’ve booked your trip with The Fly Shop or not) to insure your fly selection for a trip is complete! Bonefish Fly Selection $140 approximate value $99.95 Picking the right bonefish flies is easy, if you’ve been there. With exception, flies appropriate for the Bahamas shouldn’t be in your Belize fly box. Our staff of experts developed many of the flies now considered standard from Christmas Island to the Caribbean flats. Let us know your destination and we’ll tailor a box of ultra-effective flies specifically for your trip.

Fly Foatants

Shimazaki Pump Spray

#15624 $29.95 This is Japan’s brand new contribution to helping us keep our flies floating. It is a terrific floatant and superb for both flies and indicators and a great choice for re-conditioning sunk flies.

• Environmentally sensitive, non-aerosol • One thorough treatment often lasts all day

Gehrke's Gink

#1545

$4.95

Probably the world’s most popular fly floatant. Just smear a little of this jelly on your favorite dry fly for a high-visibility, natural, buoyant, surface drift. Convenient dispenser cap prevents leaking.

Loon Blue Ribbon Crystal Fly Floatant

#6236

$7.50

Floatant crystals are ideal to recondition drowned flies, midges, and small surface flies. There are no oils or paste that matte down small wings or leave surface film.

Loon Easy Dry

#1526

Mucilin Fly and Line Dressing Three decades of success has made this the all-time-tested fly floatant. #1548 Red Can Mucilin

$4.95

Mucilin Fly Line Silicone Thirty years ago Mucilin introduced the first dry fly and line dressing, Decades later they improved it with silicone. This is one of Europe’s most popular line dressings for a number of good reasons. #1549 Green Can Mucilin

$4.95

$7.50

These super-absorbent silica crystals are excellent for preparing or re-conditioning flies after a good soaking. Apply a coating of your favorite floatant afterwards.

Dave’s Bug Flote Our favorite floatant for most hair wing, standard-sized, and all our larger floating trout and bass flies. Very similar to Gink, this gel is best suited for warm climates. Bug Flote is our first choice for skating surface steelhead flies, bass bugs, and for dressing yarn indicators. The patented bottle hangs upside down off any D-ring or zipper, keeping floatant at the orifice.

Shimazaki Dry-Shake

Great for drying and reconditioning flies after a fish has mucked them all up. Pop the fly (with leader attached) into the vial and give a shake. Make a couple of casts, and all the scum is gone. Keeps very small flies riding on top for hours. Japan’s most popular and effective silica type floatant.

$6.95

Fly Sauce is a newly formulated, odorless gel floatant that is very viscous and works equally well on large flies or tiny midges. It is stable at warm and cold temperatures and is an excellent winter time floatant that will keep any of your dry flies riding on top of the water.

$5.50

Combination of silica crystals and pure silica powder floatant. Put the fly in the jar and shake. Excellent floatant for large hair wing dries and for reconditioning.

$4.95

This non-aerosol pump dispenses a highly effective floatant that is perfect for yarn indicators and especially appropriate for delicate dry flies.

Dry Magic

$7.50

$8.95

#1546

A superb smooth, viscous, silicone based floatant. Dry Magic doesn’t paste up the feather fibers, and is the best treatment we’ve used for both CDC and spinners.

A pure silicone-type floatant that won’t leave a residue on the water’s surface. Ideal for calm water where fish would notice a slick left by gel floatants. Hydrostop is a great choice for treating yarn indicators. Use the night before for best results. This silicon-based, temperature-stable floatant won’t melt when it’s hot, or harden when it’s cold. Aquel won’t leave a slick on the water and uses odor-masking pheromones to hide human scent.

Gehrke's Xink

Experts use this surfactant to help that leader break through the surface film, making it less visible from below. Apply Xink with your thumb and forefinger to the leader for several feet behind your floating. It will ride just below the surface. Very effective.

Scientific Anglers Fly Floatant

#152

$5.25

A buoyant, creamy 3M formula floatant that flows easily in cold weather, and doesn’t liquify in heat. SA Fly Floatant has no solvents or fish offensive odor. An EZ flip top prevents messy leaks.

Mucilin Hourglass Silicone

#1550

Loon Floatant Caddy

#16157

$9.95

The ideal way to keep your gel floatant and powder floatant organized.

Dry-Shake Primer

#9120

$9.95

This companion primer improves DryShake performance. Pinch the almost invisible primer paste on your fly prior to applying Dry-Shake for greatly enhanced effectiveness. Adhesive on the container bottom attaches easily to Dry Shake bottle.

Frog’s Fanny

#9519

$5.95

When a coating of Frog’s Fanny powder is brushed (the brush is part of the cap) on nymphs, it creates a bubble on the fly that looks exactly like an emerging insect. Excellent on CDC flies!

$6.95

Super for dressing yarn indicators! Put the indicator into the upper chamber of the hourglass-shaped bottle, and shake. Fluid, liquid Mucilin is great for small dries, pupa, spinners and indicator yarns. Another fine stillwater floatant.

Premium all-around gel floatant that works on CDC. Treats any type of feathers, hair, hackle, or yarn without hindering appearance while providing maximum floatation. It is silicon based, and won’t melt in heat or harden when it’s cold.

HoldZit Squeeze Sheaths

These pliable rubber sheaths tightly grip the small bottles used for Gink, Xink, and other fly floatants, keeping fluids and gels gravity fed. #3072 Single $3.50 3082 Double 4.50 w w w . t h e f ly s h o p . c o m

Check it out!

This year we’ve added a careful selection of new fly-tying materials and tools. With the expansion of The Fly Shop’s commercial grade hook models, we’re providing tiers with more options and great hooks at the same great price. We’ve also added a few more new synthetics and natural materials to our selection, and increased the choices of spey and tube fly materials. Below are a few highlights from this year’s catalog:

Colorado Mag Lamp One of the best tying lamps we’ve ever seen. It’s light and portable, yet still appropriate for the home bench! The 21˝ flexible gooseneck connects to any 3/8˝ vise stem and accommodates a high intensity, low heat, cordless (battery operated) lamp which can be positioned to apply cool illumination just where you want! page 93 Justin Miller photo

The Fly Shop’s Stonefly Tying Kit

Tie ultra-realistic flies with perfect wing cases, ribbed bodies, legs and antennae. Our new Pro “Kit Sheet,” includes all the essentials necessary to tie uber-lifelike flies. To this kit, you just need to add a hook, weight, materials for the tail and some dubbing, and give new meaning to “super natural” stoneflies. page 94

Loon UV Clear Fly Finish The easy way to make heads and wingcases without having to deal with messy epoxy. Use in combination with the Loon UV Power Light. page 96

Fish Skull Masks You have to wonder how the people at Fish Skull can keep coming up with great ideas. These are durable, plastic heads with recessed eyes for attaching stick-on eyes. page 98

Clear Cure Dumbell Eyes These lightweight, oversize aluminum eyes have large pupils that add realism to large fresh or saltwater flies without more weight or resistance. page 100

The Fly Shop’s Pro Tube Fly Tying Kit

All of the most popular tube tying materials, in a kit designed by our own TFS tube tying experts. Most of the commonly used Pro-Tube materials and sizes are included at a price significantly less than if the items were purchased separately. page 98

Tradition

Innovation

Our staff

has been influenced by Gary Lafontaine, René Harrop, Bob Quigley and others. They’ve embraced traditional tying techniques, adding innovations in new materials. We’re leading the way to the future of fly tying. Mike Mercer began our rise to prominence in the fly tying community several decades ago with his out-of-the-envelope use of epoxy combined with traditional patterns. Mike helped The Fly Shop begin a tradition of effective innovation by introducing a long list of new flies and materials that have become staples at every fly tying bench and in most fly boxes. We started a parade of our own fly tying talent with Brad Jackson, Bob Quigley, Mike Mercer, and Andy Burk, then began a movement in the 80’s that continues in our shop today with a whole new generation of talented fly tiers and fresh and saltwater materials.

Future

What will adding synthetic material do to the flies I am currently tying at the bench? I ’ M A S T I L LWAT E R A D D I C T

and constantly searching for flies that will perform better in lakes and slow moving trophy water like those in Southern Oregon. I’ve been adding Jay Fair’s Translucent Swimming Hackle to many of my flies. It adds movement and translucency which can’t be accomplished with natural materials. Add a marabou tail and you’ve got a fly with lifelike, realistic movement in all directions.

GOOD NEWS FOR TYERS

The Fly Shop® has something to crow about, because now we’ve got the best supply of quality ﬂy tying hackle you’ll ﬁnd anywhere! Fly tying hackle farms have

Metz Capes are incredibly stiff and long with a minimum of web. These fly tying feathers have been consistently the most popular fly tying capes ever produced. Metz capes (necks) offer a very broad range of feathers appropriate for many different sizes. The basic difference between the three grades are the quality of the hackle, the total number of feathers on the neck, and the amount of webbing on each particular neck. These are worth every cent.

Metz Premium Grizzly Saltwater and Bass Necks

You won’t find quality like these feathers anywhere else. Period! The dyes are perfect, and the barring is bold. The hackle on these necks are wide and webby with rounded tips and create a great full bodied profile.

rebounded from the hair dressing fashion craze. Now we’re seeing more hackles available for tying at decent prices! Give us a call to see what we currently have in stock. W O U L D believe a hairdressing fad would significantly impact fly tying? But the fact is that quality feathers, feathers of any kind, were very difficulty to find for the last two years. At any price. Hair salons in the Northeast were willing to pay astronomical prices for them, and the genetic chicken feather farmers sold their stock for far more money than they’d been getting for capes and saddles from fly tiers. Fortunately for our sport, the fad didn’t last, and the cost of capes and saddles has returned to near normal. For the fly shops, it created a temporary decline in the availability of prized hackle and a rise in the cost of finished flies.

FLY TYING

Whiting Farms hackles are the most prized feathers on any fly tiers bench, and the best value at any price! Our Whiting saddles are twice the length and twice the quality of the best cape that you'll find produced by other growers. They'll not only tie better flies, but Whiting feathers tie twice as many flies from the same size skin. Though the initial expense is more, you end up with better hackle and will be able to tie infinitely more flies and the argument can be made that they are simply a better value. Cree is a bird color that is difficult to breed. Consequently, saddles and capes are often not available. Call us for availability!

The most talked about trout fishing on Earth!

118 alaska We didn’t build our reputation by talking about fly fishing. Our travel team went fishing first. We did more than learn where to go. We figured out the best way to get there, when to arrive for the best fishing, and what to use. The more we went, the more we learned. Then came the reputation, for accurate, honest, and expert angling travel advice. In the early years we were often crossing distant angling horizons by ourselves. In Belize, Chile, Tierra del Fuego, Kamchatka and dozens of other fresh and saltwater spots on the fly fishing map, we were alone. We felt then, and know now, we were leading the way. When we weren’t the first ones to new water, we were first to figure out the tides, the right flies, and the answers to questions that would make our clientele more successful in their journeys. After thirty-six years of travelling the globe, searching for great fly fishing, our travel team has a wealth of knowledge and a reputation that is unparalleled in the world of angling travel. Put all that to work for you!

T R A V E L E D T H E W O R L D in search of this style of fly fishing adventure for 35 years, and can boldly state (after nearly two decades of experience in Russia) Kamchatka is the best of the best rainbow trout fishing on Earth! The landmass of Kamchatka slices into the Bering Sea just west of Alaska. Its jagged coastlines are lapped by fish-rich waters, its snow-capped horizons are dotted by strato-volcanoes, and its valleys are carved deep by over 12,000 pristine spring creeks and rivers. Virtually none of the peninsula has been impacted by man. It’s a trout, salmon and char Utopia. This coastto-coast, trackless wilderness is inaccessible to all modes of transportation except horse, jet-boat and the iconic, Russian-made, MI-8 helicopter. The Fly Shop® has been on the leading edge of Kamchatka frontier exploration since the doors to the Far East opened just 20 short years ago. While air travel was difficult, other operators postponed or abandoned Kamchatka. We used those years to polish our programs, explore new rivers, refine our equipment, fortify our camps, and train our Russian staff. In fact, our staff has more experience there than any and all other fly fishing outfitters and angling travel agents combined. w w w . t h e f ly s h o p . c o m

Today we’re more knowledgeable and more passionate than ever about Kamchatka, and for good reason. We continue to explore new rivers that are full of trophy-sized trout, and though our Kamchatka angling adventures remain cutting edge, over two decades of hard work, training, and constant improvement has graduated these once-rugged, isolated wilderness experiences to a level once considered impossible. The Fly Shop® is the exclusive agent for the only fly fishing lodge on the Kamchatka Peninsula, as well as the top Kamchatka camps and wilderness float trips. We offer an exciting cross-section of choices ranging from pure trophy pursuit to spring creek dry fly fishing and from a jet boat based lodge to raft trips on intimate, trout-filled streams. There are action-packed one week trips or twoweek expedition options combining either a week at the Sedanka Spring Creek Camps with a wilderness float trip in the northern peninsula, a similar odyssey merging the famous Zhupanova River float trip and Zenzur Lodge in southeastern Kamchatka, or two weeks on the Savan. There’s no better outfit to travel with than The Fly Shop®, or better time to make a trip to Kamchatka than right now! s

zhupanova river float trips begin after a breathtaking helicopter flight to the river’s headwaters, where anglers start floating and fishing their way downstream, covering about eight miles each day, and finishing every sore-armed evening at comfortable permanent camps. The ingenious wilderness camps are a contrast to the remote environment and have cabins, flush toilets, hot showers, kitchens, and a fully mobile staff. ▲ 6 night/51⁄2 day Zhupanova float trip or Zenzur Lodge package $6,995 ▲ 13 night/12 day package combining Zenzur and Zhupanova float $11,995 the savan, turusheva, and our other wilderness float trips In recent years The Fly Shop® has confirmed a slate of spectacular small rivers and spring creeks packed from shore to shore with fierce strains of beautifullycolored rainbows. Though we use state-of-the art mobile raft and camp equipment, these are our most rustic trips, and best suited for anglers who value a spirit of adventure more than the creature comforts of our permanent camp operations. Now is the time to pull the trigger and scratch this adventure off your own bucket list. The fish stories related to these trips just cannot be exaggerated. The floats are thrill-a-minute fishing experiences done in complete solitude, surrounded by Kamchatka stone birch forests, brown bears and a few fishing friends. This next summer, we’ve scheduled expeditions on six rivers. Each will be visited by only 4 to 6 anglers, and only for a few weeks of the season. ▲ 6 night/51⁄2 day wilderness float trip fishing package $5,300 - $7,395 ▲ 13 night/12 day combination packages $10,995 - $11,250

zenzur lodge is the only fishing lodge in Kamchatka. It’s located on the lower Zhupanova, Russia’s premier trophy trout river, and is a comfortable, jet boat, lodge-based operation. The lower Zhupanova is a trophy angling paradise. It’s all about the challenge, and steelhead-sized rainbows and magnificent sea-run Siberian white spotted char that routinely stretch a yardstick. There are one and two-week schedules that repeat or combine either Zhupanova experience. the sedanka spring creek is the finest spring creek on Earth. Period. Three permanent camps are evenly spaced along 30 miles of the river with a full day’s float from one camp to the next. A couple of days are spent at each camp, where guided anglers strike out each morning, often walking the riverbanks with your guide, wading idyllic, endless riffles and runs, casting a dry fly, mouse or streamer pattern. Other days may use jet-powered motor boats to access more distant fishing grounds. Trips include all helicopter and ground transportation, guides, and all accommodation at well-established camps along the Sedanka. Amenities include hot showers, flush toilets, heaping portions of good food, and guest cabins at each of the camps. This is classic fly fishing, best suited for fit, adventurous anglers who measure the success of their long hard days by the thrill of discovery and encounters with lots and lots of surface-oriented, wild rainbow trout. ▲ 6 night/51⁄2 day Sedanka Camp package $7,850 ▲ 13 night/12 day package combining both the Sedanka Camp and one of the regional Wilderness Float trips. $11,250

Finding the best ﬁshing in

Alaska Sergei Gor shkov photo

We’ve been pointing the way to the top fly fishing in our th State since The Fly Shop® opened our doors and we first travelled there in 1979. Quite a bit has changed in Alaska’s bush during the past thirty-five years, but it’s still the most amazing fish factory on the North American continent!

O U R F I R S T half dozen visits to Alaska, we realized we’d never be experts on the place. Each successive visit drove that point home, giving us an ever-increasing appreciation for how magnificent the state is, how much there was to learn, and how elusive it was going to be to actually achieve “expert” status. Collectively, the travel staff here at The Fly Shop® has owned Alaska lodges, guided there, and we’ve outfitted thousands of fly fishermen for their trips north. It’s fair to say The Fly Shop® has spent as much or more time exploring Alaska’s fishing as anyone in the world of angling travel. Now, after more than three decades we remain as passionate about, and as fascinated by Alaska as the day we first arrived. We know, too, that accurate representation of Alaska fly fishing requires more than a few visits to a few different lodges or camps. There are hundreds of Alaska fishing operations and every one of them will tell you their place is best. Obviously, only a few of them can be right.

Fly-Out Lodges This is the top ﬂight way to experience the best trout and salmon ﬁshing in our 49th state. It’s expensive, and worth every cent!

HE ANGLER PLANNING a visit to a fly-out lodge in Alaska has more to look forward to than just a memorable fishing vacation. Each morning of the week, lift-off exposes the full glory of Alaska, transporting anglers into a magical aerial world. The elevation is kept intentionally low to allow passengers a chance to see more of wild Alaska than is imaginable, and these scenic flights to the fishing grounds often pass over moose, bear, caribou and wolves. Palpable anticipation builds along the way as they pass over land and scenery that leaves everyone breathless, until they’re eventually delivered to water full of char, salmon and rainbows. Bush planes offer fishermen access to rivers and streams beyond the horizon and often out of reach by boats. Usually float planes change the dynamics of a fishing trip dramatically and translate into more fishing opportunities and diversity. Of course, the more distant the final destination is from civilization and the more time spent in the air during the week, the higher the price tag is going to be.

Many of the small Alaska streams are too shallow and dangerous to land a plane on, but there are over 3 million lakes in Alaska and quite a few deep rivers, bays, and waterways. All the fly-out lodges utilize this massive network of aqua-landing strips to spot their guests on the top trout and salmon streams in their area. The talented, expert bush pilots based at those lodges monitor hundreds of miles of rivers, flying to the best each morning. They’ll sometimes guide clients to more than one river in a single day, and are instructed to bring guests back at the end of every day, tired of catching fish.

B l a ke M c H e n r y p h o t o C o u r t e s y o f R o y a l Wo l f L o d g e w w w . t h e f ly s h o p . c o m

At every lodge, the top choices of river targets change with the calendar as the season long parade of salmon and trout peak in each of the different drainages, and it’s great to have the ability to be able to take advantage of the best of the nearby opportunities with winged transportation. Even flying into a remote camp or lodge where anglers use jet boats from their base will improve the quality of an Alaska fishing trip immensely. The round trip range of most float planes is approximately a hundred miles. Draw a circle representing that distance around the region you’re interested in fishing, choose a fly-out lodge in your price range near a hub like Iliamna, Igiugig, King Salmon, Dillingham or Bethel, and you’ll have every day access to every exciting, action-packed stream or river, and all the rainbow trout and salmon inside that ring. Depending on how many planes are available, the group size, and their daily destinations, pilots either stay with their fishermen, or leave them in the hands of expert guides, returning at the end of the day to pick up their fish-weary passengers and hustle them back to a cozy fire, cold cocktail and warm atmosphere of the lodge. The Alaska fly-out lodge experience is a spectacular slice of life. It is an incredible angling epic, and one of the great parts of each day’s fishing is more than the arrival, or a constantly tight line, it is the journey.

produced a million plus barrels of oil per day, and before our 49th state had industrial-scale cruises and megatourism, it was a quiet frontier that drew the rapt attention of the hardest-core fishermen and hunters. Until the mid80’s the goal of most prototypical Alaskan fishing trips was to dig as deep as you could into your wallet, pay a pilot to get you as far from civilization as possible, set up a tent on a river, fish hard all day and all night, and return home with a sore arm and lots of stories. Since those “glory days” the fishing in Alaska hasn’t changed much, but the camp experience has gradually been replaced by up-scale lodges with daily float plane shuttles to distant streams, and price tags that go hand-in-hand with those more expensive options. What few isolated streamside camps and lodges remain are a reminder of the golden age of frontier fly fishing, where everything, including anglers must either be brought in by float plane or barge. Some are rustic on-the-water river lodges, while others are still equipped with Weatherport tentcabins erected every spring and removed each fall on wildlands leased from the State of Alaska, the Feds or local Native groups that typically don’t allow any permanent infrastructures and insist that the land remain raw and unimpacted. Pat Pendergast photo

Home-cooked meals, enthusiastic guides, spectacular wilderness and a fish-til-you-drop atmosphere typify the bush camp experience and usually attract more adventuresome anglers with a little extra mettle in their souls. Contemporary camps and streamside lodges now enjoy lights powered by quiet generators, propane heated showers, and an experience called camping only by the loosest application of the definition. Jet boat transportation and high-tech tents and equipment have exponentially raised the level of comfort, yet these fishing outposts are an experience that is rapidly being replaced by luxury lodges and chased into history by wilderness legislation. What few camps and traditional riverside lodges remain permitted in state and federal parklands and preserves all require environment-friendly tents, kitchen, and sanitation facilities that often must be completely assembled and removed at the beginning and end of the season. Those are good things. These places usually don’t offer daily fly outs, relying instead on a quality local fisheries. On-thewater locations often allow more fishing time each day, with little concern about weather or flying conditions and these outfitters count on talented guides instead of pilots. Accessed only by float plane, these remote bush camps are usually a small intimate affair, offering a season long tug-of-war with salmon, char, rainbows, and grayling. Anglers depend on jetboats to get to nearby, red-hot fishing in rivers and small tributaries that are all but impossible to reach any other way. These are places where you don’t have to worry about getting to your favorite hole and finding someone else wading in the center of it. The river is usually just beyond the threshhold or outside the flap of the tent, and the dawn ‘til dusk fishing is limited only by your stamina.

Guests stay in streamside cabins on the shore of the evergreen-lined, clear waters of Lake Creek, and enjoy both fine fishing and great food while nestled in the shadow of Denali.

Big Ku T

HE KUKAKLEK R I V E R in Southwest Alaska is the epicenter of the famous Katmai Basin trophy trout fisheries, and the point where the river leaves Kukaklek Lake is home to a colossal, season-long concentration of trout. Rainbows mass there each spring to feast on millions of sockeye smolt as they move out of the lakes on a downstream migration to the sea. Their diet quickly changes as adult salmon arrive and the ensuing carcasses and eggs turn into the rocket fuel that powers a phenomenal population of big, spot-covered rainbows, renowned for dazzling runs and acrobatic jumps.

Big Ku Lodge is perfectly positioned on a bluff above its namesake river with a spectacular vista of the river, lake and the Alaska wilderness panorama. The place couldn’t be better situated. It’s within easy range of 4 of the finest trophy trout streams in Alaska and combines the best of all worlds for serious trout anglers – home water as productive as it is remote, and quick and easy boat access to three other nearby blue-ribbon rivers. Guests can walk from the A week here intimate lodge to the legendary Big Ku River anytime they want, stretching their fishing day to match their stamina, often within sight of massive grizzlies sharing the river, oblivious to anglers, focused intently on the legions of spawning sockeye salmon. The great innovation at Big Ku – something totally unique in the central Bristol Bay region – is the shedding of a reliance on float planes in preference for strictly boat access to the area’s top trophy trout rivers. Each morning anglers step into jet-boats that either whisk them over several beats on more than 8 miles of the home river, or zip across the lake or along the shoreline in a powerful, fully-enclosed, prop-driven outboard that’s comfortable and seaworthy in the worst of weather to fish the Little Kukaklek River (10 minutes), Battle Creek (30 minutes) or Moraine Creek (35 minutes). Guests are met on the Moraine by guides who have followed in smaller jet skiffs, and are able to access the shallow river.

is like stepping into a National Geographic special There are plenty of A-list rivers throughout the region, but nowhere else in the state are there so many, so close. Being “on the water” gives Big Ku anglers a double-edged advantage over fly-out lodges that target these same streams. They’ll arrive earlier and effortlessly with little or no concern for fog or weather conditions that can ground or delay a bush plane. Without daily reliance on expensive aircraft, the cost of a week at Big Ku Lodge is nearly half what a similar deluxe fly-out lodge would run. Big Ku is the only lodge on the shoreline of this massive lake, and the only operation able to launch a boat-based package that includes these rivers. The reputation of the fishing in these streams is as strong as the reputation of the Branham family, who have been outfitting Alaska wilderness-bound fishermen for two generations. This is a terrific week-long dance card, and the ultimate river wish list for any serious trophy trout hunter.

The lodge is perched high on a bluff overlooking the Kukaklek River, just above where it ﬂows out of Kukaklek Lake. The lodge is on what is simultaneously one of the most famous, productive, private, and least impacted rivers in Alaska. That’s only part of what makes this place great. Mark Lance photo

The Big Ku Story The only way to get to the lodge is by ﬂoat plane.

HERE

ARE NO OTHER lodges and few other anglers on the Kukaklek. The Big Ku Lodge property is a unique, private, 5,000-acre leased parcel of native-owned wilderness encompassing the river’s mouth, stretching for miles downstream, and surrounded by more than 4 million acres of federally protected Katmai Preserve parklands. Guests enjoy a scenic, direct charter flight from Anchorage through Lake Clark Pass into Igiugig Village on the shore of Lake Iliamna, then transfer via float plane from the Igiugig Village airstrip to the lodge. Both the charter flight and the float plane transfer are included in the economical package. In fact, Big Ku Lodge may be the best value in Alaska sportfishing. From their lodge base near the outflow of Kukaklek Lake anglers have the magnificent Kukaklek right out their door. And with a small fleet of swift jet boats at their constant disposal, Big Ku guests are within easy striking distance of three of the other finest and most famous trophy trout streams in all of Alaska. The only other anglers able to access any of these rivers - the Kukaklek, Moraine, Battle, and Little Ku - need float planes to get there. During the long Alaska summer days anglers choosing one of the other nearby rivers are able to depart early in the morning, arriving well in advance of float planes, and enjoy these immensely popular fisheries in relative solitude. In the fall, when the Battle and Moraine angling is at its peak, and pressure at its greatest, Big Ku Lodge guests may even opt for an evening visit after the planes and their fishermen have hit the road.

Big Ku (the Kukaklek River) connects Kukaklek Lake and its major tributaries to the Nonvianuk River. This river is the highway for more than 2 million spawning sockeyes every year, trailed by trout. It is broad, magnificent, usually accessible only by float plane and miles of the Big Ku flow through private native land. It is one of the most reliable and least impacted early and late season trophy trout fisheries in Alaska. Little Ku is a terrific small stream trout fishery. At times of the season it is wall-towall with both rainbows and sockeye. Access to the upper stream requires arduous hiking from a small lake that can be reached exclusively by float plane. Only physically fit anglers need apply. The lower stream is a bit wider (hardly the size of a real river), full of trout, sockeyes, and a beautiful, intimate, and rewarding Alaska fishery.

Battle is a short river connecting Battle Lake to Kukaklek. It’s a superb, small, serpentine fishery that peaks for a few weeks late in the summer. Battle is shallow, easily wadeable, and haunted by lots of brown bears. Its wide-body, trophy trout are exceptionally beautiful and are usually visible in the shallow river as they feed behind spawning sockeye. B I G K U L O D G E is limited to six guests

The Moraine is considered to be one of Alaska’s “Blue Ribbon” rivers. Most of it is shallow, easily waded, and stuffed with trout. With the exception of Big Ku Lodge guests, anglers destined to the Moraine need a float plane to get there and often float the Moraine for the day with their guide. It’s a 35-minute boat ride from Big Ku to the mouth of the Moraine. phone

and the week-long packages include a nonresident license, scenic 600-mile round trip flight from Anchorage to the Lake Iliamna village of Igiugig, and the round trip float plane transfer from Igiugig to the lodge. This all-inclusive package may be the best value on the Alaska fishing lodge scene. ▲ 7-night/6-day June/July $4,595 ▲ 7-night/6-day August/Sept. $5,195

Baranof Lodge L The perfect spot for couples and families, with something for everyone. O C AT E D

O N the remote eastern flank of Baranof Island, across from the equally isolated Admiralty Island, Baranof Wilderness Lodge is a gem. This cozy fishing resort is tucked into protected Warm Springs Bay, a perfect location for families, and groups of anglers that are looking for a small, intimate setting. The lodge is hewn out of the side of a mountain overlooking the scenic bay and features elegantly furnished cabins with hot showers, full bathrooms, and 24-hour electricity. A well-worn path through the ancient surrounding rainforest connects the cabins to the lodge. There is also a steaming hot tub in front of the lodge (right where a crystal-clear mountain stream enters the bay) for sore, fish-weary muscles at the day’s end. Mike and Sally Trotter have operated the lodge for decades, and stress quality of experience over the “fill the freezer” mentality some such coastal operations promote. Their superb guides take clients out each day in the protected strait (often as calm as a freshwater lake), catching salmon, halibut, and assorted bottom-fish. While they will certainly process, box, and freeze plenty of your fish to take home, they stress more than just the fishing. Whale watching here can be phenomenal, with many days seeing large pods bubble-netting, breaching, and spouting. Guides will sometimes approach close to the leviathans, and drop a device into the depths that allows guests to listen to the whales “speak”!

These two happy ten-year olds landed a huge King Salmon on their own. Right off the dock!

Guests often choose to take “time off” from fishing, and explore distant beaches that seldom see other footprints, wade the fascinating marine tide-pools, or venture out and pull shrimp or crab pots. There’s after dinner fishing off the dock for anything from bottom-fish to salmon. Ultra-aggressive silvers routinely school up in shallow water near the lodge during part of the season, and it’s a blast casting poppers or streamers with six or seven weight rods to kelp bass near the rock walls and seaweed patches. Freshwater fishing options include hiking pristine streams that wind their way out of the rainforests, and catching chrome chum and pink salmon in the tidal zones. Further upstream there are beautifully-marked dolly varden, and the hikes through enormous, cathedral-like old-growth forests are worth the price of admission. There’s a short trail from the lodge to a stunning mountain lake, a waiting boat, and even more action casting to visibly cruising native cutthroat trout. Mike and Sally take a great deal of pride in their kitchen and you won't be losing any weight at Baranof Lodge. The food is remarkable, beginning with hearty breakfasts replete with homemade breads, rolls, and all the standard favorites intended to fuel guests for the day. Delicious box lunches are normally eaten in the field and dinners emphasizing local seafood (halibut, salmon, succulent mounds of crab, shrimp and clams, together with fresh herbs and vegetables from the garden) and accompanied by fine wines are every evening’s highlight. trotter’s baranof lodge is one of the most popular family fishing vacation lodges in the world. Inquire early about space at this Southeastern sportfishing Mecca because there’s something for everyone. The menu includes a mixed bag of salmon, char, and halibut fishing, whale watching, or lounging in the hot springs. The lodge and meals are superb and hosts both spin and fly fishermen. s 5 night/51⁄2 day package $5,350

Cusack’s

This small, family-operated lodge is located in the heart of the Iliamna basin. It’s action-packed trout ﬁshing, and top flight angling adventure with a very reasonable price tag.

Cusack Lodge guests have exclusive access to a tiny, nearby Lake Iliamna tributary that’s been off-limits to the general public for nearly a generation. Under the aegis of a multi-year lease access agreement with the local native association, Bob and his team take off in his trusty Cessna 185 or Super Cub, and guide just two anglers at a time on a stream he found years ago. There’s great fall mousing for rainbows in downed timber and grassy cutbanks. And when the sockeyes arrive and begin spawning, the stream is suddenly stuffed with trailing rainbows and dolly varden. It is an amazing fishery, even for Alaska. B r i a n O ’ Ke e f e p h o t o

B O B C U S A C K has built a reputation among serious fly fishermen as a no-

frills, hard-core outdoorsman, placing the emphasis purely on the trout fishing. Using two float planes (a Super Cub and a Cessna 185), and a flotilla of jet boats and single man rafts, the Cusack team offers a unique selection of angling opportunities for their guests. At the top of the menu is an optional 2 or 3-day, overnight float trip on the fabulous upper Copper River. It’s a rare chance to fish one of Alaska’s most scenic trophy trout rivers for the outstanding early season dry fly action, or further into the summer and early fall when monster rainbows migrate out of Lake Iliamna following the trail of decomposing sockeyes and spawn. Using his Cessna or Super Cub, Bob rotates his small cadre of guests, alternately using the Copper and other nearby tributaries to Iliamna, targeting trophy rainbow and char rivers, and a season-long cavalcade of ocean-bright Pacific salmon. For anglers interested in economy, Bob offers a “Home Water” package focusing exclusively on the Copper River, including overnight float option. s 7-night/6-day (non-fly out) “Home River” package $4,595 per week s 7-night/6-day, daily fly out package $5,800

More than 40,000 sockeye salmon flood the short, 16-mile long Copper River each June. They’re followed almost immediately by a parade of ravenous trout drawn from the depths of Lake Iliamna, anticipating the salmon spawn, eventual die-off, and feast. The Copper, recognized as unique, was the first designated catch-and-release, trophy trout river in Alaska. It is a fine June dry fly fishery, and develops into a progressively more spectacular sight-fishing experience as the leaves turn color.

Lake Iliamna and its tributaries are home to the largest rainbow trout ever caught in Alaska!

Alaska Salmon Camps & Lodges Take the guesswork out of finding exactly the right place to fly fish for salmon in Alaska

H E R E A R E H U N D R E D S of Alaskan salmon camps, lodges

Silver or King salmon fishing is usually one-dimensional. It isn’t often that these purely anadromous fish cohabit with rainbows or other resident sportfish. The angler searching for the right place should research the river and determine the best possible times to be there. Then focus on getting those dates. Either that, or give us a call at The Fly Shop® and we’ll get you pointed in the right direction.

and outfitters. Every one of them claims to have the best location, the best lodge, the best guides, food and fishing. We have a habit of saying that the list of the great Alaska fishing lodges is short, and the list of bad ones is just as short. We can help you with the short list of great lodges.

hoodoo lodge is the main event. The river is shallow, clear, and chock full of aggressive kings and silvers willing even to take flies off the surface. The lake-fed river is custom-tailored for fly fishing and doesn’t blow out in foul fall weather. It’s narrow enough to cover with single-handed rods and light sink-tips, yet broad enough to be fun with powerful, double-handed rods. Hoodoo is the most remote lodge we represent in Alaska, far down the Aleutians, it is literally in the middle of nowhere with no crowd around competing for the best pools. s June/July for Kings (6-night/5-day package) $5,850 s Grand Slam Salmon weeks (week-long package) $4,850 s August/September for Silvers (week-long package) $5,850

In the best Alaska silver salmon rivers, it’s more common than unusual to hook and land dozens every day. That means hundreds of pounds of striking, fighting, pulling, jumping salmon each day that just don’t want to be landed! An average Coho will tip the scales at about 9 pounds and a trophy silver weighs in the high teens. Generally the best silver fishing happens in August through September. Great fishing lasts a little later on Kodiak Island and farther down the Aleutian Peninsula.

Kings ripen very quickly once they arrive in fresh water and it is critical to time your trip to coincide with the peak of the run in the river you have chosen. The best of those rivers for fly fishing run clear and shallow. Again, it’s a very short list of small, clear rivers with big runs of kings. It’s a shorter list still, of rivers where fly rodders don’t have to resort to using super fast sinking fly lines and ultra-heavy outfits, and an even shorter list where the sport can be enjoyed in virtual privacy.

Trout Fishing in Canada’s Western Provinces

130

O C A L S P R E F E R T O spend their sporting time wetting fly lines in the prolific lakes of British Columbia and Alberta, and there’s little pressure on what would be considered blue ribbon trout streams south of the border. The magnificent Chilko, Oldman, Crowsnest, Waterton, Firesteel, St. Mary’s and Blackwater rivers are within easy striking distance of Vancouver or Calgary, and are largely overlooked by Canadian fishermen. These, and other Canadian rivers offer some of the best and most prolific wild trout fishing in North America. Progressive government regulations in the “Western Provinces” strictly limit the amount of commercial impaction allowed on these rivers. Canadian authorities manage the number of commercial outfitters, guides, lodges, fishing and foreign hunting licenses and guided hunters and fishermen. All of that translates to no crowds and great fishing.

The lodges and outfitters we have assembled in British Columbia and Alberta represent a broad spectrum of angling opportunities ranging from fly out lodges to classic float fishing to stalking native rainbows slurping dries on a clear mountain stream. All of the lodges we represent in Canada are family operated and owned and offer intimate angling experiences with very limited rod space during the short, condensed Canadian summer. Some, like Spatsizi, are among the most popular in North America and demand reservations far in advance. Common to all our outfitters is a genuine concern that each angler's dreams are realized, and a total commitment to meeting or exceeding their trip expectations. It’s a different, very special brand of Canadian hospitality that you will find impossible to resist.

mcclean’s ts’yl-os park lodge The Chilko River, flowing through the back yard of this popular British Columbia lodge, is the finest dry fly fishing in the province. Anglers can float a line from a drift boat, jet sled or float tube, and guests can tailor their package around the interests of the entire family. Sportsmen from around the world have been enjoying superb trout fishing, trail riding, canoeing, hiking, and just plain relaxing with the McClean family since 1957. Meals are wonderful, and the lodge (below & above) accommodates only 14 guests in cabins or guest suites. The full week fishing package includes the round-trip charter flight from Vancouver, guided fishing, and access to horseback riding and other activities. s 7-night/6-day guided fly fishing package $4,195 USD s 7-night/6-day lodge horseback riding package $2,795 USD

spatsizi wilderness lodge Spatsizi is one of the most exclusive fly out wilderness trips on the North American map and is located on Laslui Lake, more than 200 miles north of Smithers, British Columbia.This family-operated angling Eden offers exclusive fishing inside the incomparable Spatsizi Plateau Wilderness Provincial Park, a 3,600 square-mile chunk of raw land with more trout streams and lakes than could possibly be fished in a lifetime. The package includes the round-trip charter flight from Smithers into the lake, and daily floatplane trips to some of the finest and most seldom-seen fishing on the continent. It is one of Canada's great, unsung trout fisheries and one of the top values in the freshwater fly fishing world. s 7-night/6-day package $6,450 CDN

eastslope adventures This Alberta trout Mecca is either the most overlooked or best kept secret in North America! Native rainbows, browns and Canadian cutthroat all grow big in the local tailwaters and nearby free-flowing trout fisheries. In addition to spectacular public angling, our outfitter, Cam Jensen, has near exclusive access to miles of private stretches of one of the best trout streams from Calgary south to the Montana border. It’s the rule, rather than exception for flyrodders to hook lots of stout fish on dries and nymphs every day. The rainbows, cutthroats and browns are impressive and deep-bodied, averaging 15 to 20-inches. Football-shaped trout in the 20 to 23-inch range just raise an eyebrow, and there is always the chance for a true Canadian jumbo trout in excess of the two-foot mark. Eastslope Lodge uses savvy Canuck guides who consistently deliver the goods from June through October. There are literally dozens of excellent trout fisheries near Eastslope’s lodge. Fishermen can try a different fishery every day, or return to their favorite spot to walkand-wade, or drift a variety of superb rivers and streams within easy striking distance of the beautifully-appointed mountain lodge. It’s a chance to drift, wade, and fish small streams in complete privacy, and we here at The Fly Shop® can’t recommend it more highly! The dry fly season is quite long here, stretching from mid June through September, and offers a mixed bag of predictable mayfly and caddis hatches, as well as summertime terrestrials. Even when there are no visible hatches, one can often sight-fish to big trout lying in shallow water, inducing them to the surface with well-placed casts. Fall duck and goose hunting is good beyond description. s 6-night/ 5-day package $2,795

Steelhead The concept of hard-core fly fishing is defined by both the steelhead experience and the anglers who chase these sea run rainbows. For many, the chrome trout of the Pacific Northwest are the most treasured prize and the ultimate fly fishing challenge in our sport

TEELHEAD

F I S H I N G I N the Pacific Northwest was once the passionate pursuit of tens of thousands of western anglers. Just as California was once the home of the Winston, Scott, and Fenwick rod companies, and San Francisco’s Golden Gate Casting Pond was the haunt of practically every great fly casting champion of the day, the Golden State was once home to the most amazing runs of steelhead ever to enter rivers from the Pacific. The rod companies have moved to Montana, and the huge runs of steelhead in the Eel, Mad, Mattole, Russian, Garcia, Gualala, Navarro, Sacramento, Smith, and Klamath have all but disappeared from their natal redds, particularly when compared to their historic populations.

While there are remnant runs still found on the Yankee side of the 49th parallel, the very best of the wild steelhead fishing left in North America is, for the most part, found in British Columbia. Still, it’s not a race of fish without problems and management controversy, even in sparsely populated Western Canada. At The Fly Shop® we have access to a limited number of rods at a few of the lodges on the best of the B.C. steelhead rivers. Competition for those reservations during peak weeks of the short season is fierce, and we highly encourage our clients to give us as much advance notice as possible in order to search out the best possible spots.

With its ancient, old growth forests looming overhead, there’s a lot of thought that has to go into every cast. No matter the skill level, these small coastal rivers are a memorable challenge. This trip is winter steelhead fishing at its best, and is tailored for the fisherman whose interest is in targetting silver-bright, salt fresh, wild Canadian steelhead on rivers that are rarely if ever fished. These are small coastal rivers with a very healthy, aggressive steelhead population.

Kola ATLANTIC SALMON ON THE

Post-Cold War access to Russia’s fabulous Kola Peninsula ushered in an exciting new era in the world of Atlantic salmon ﬁshing!

HESE

RUSSIAN

RIVERS

are, far and away, better than any other Atlantic Salmon destination on the planet. There is no exaggeration necessary to confirm the argument that the unbelievable numbers and the astonishing average size of the salmon, and the beauty of the Kola (the largest wooded wilderness in Europe) is everything imagined and more. The Kola Peninsula qualified as the first great angling discovery to come out of a newly-opened Russia in the early ‘90s, and the fish stories and catch numbers that circled back to hard-core salmon anglers at the time bordered on unbelievable. The world of angling soon confirmed those whispers were true.

Now, two decades later, the fishing is as good as ever. It’s certainly the last place Atlantic salmon exist in their historically prodigious numbers, and as such it has moved into first place in the hearts, minds, and plans of the international crowd of sea-run obsessed anglers. The quality of the contemporary Kola camps, aviation, guides, and infrastructure meanwhile, has kept pace with the emergence of modern Russia and achieved a level of sophistication that matches the fish. Modern transportation and geopolitical shifts have merged to make it a reasonably close playground for serious sea-run thrill seekers and the direct jet polar routes have put these Russian river targets no further distant from our east coast than Alaska, and closer to Los Angeles than Patagonia. It’s that close. And, for a change, the fishing here is exactly what it used to be and probably what it used to be everywhere. w w w . t h e f ly s h o p . c o m

FLY FISHING DOWN UNDER IN

New Zealand The trout ﬁshing season in the land of the Kiwis begins in November and continues through April. The absolute best time to begin planning your New Zealand holiday for next year is right now!

E R I O U S A N G L E R S who thrill to sight fishing for trophy trout and live for the challenge of big rainbow and brown trout in relative solitude find New Zealand irresistible. Still it’s estimated that fewer than 2,900 foreign fishermen actually realize that dream and only a small percentage of travelers go to New Zealand just to fish. Most spend time in places like Queenstown, Taupo, and Rotoroa. They’ll visit Milford Sound, Nelson and several of the magnificent New Zealand national parks. They might fly or drive the length of the two islands (roughly the size of California) and spend time in the wine country near Hawkes Bay, and they might do a little fishing while they’re there. The Fly Shop® works directly with a few of the top New Zealand fishing lodges and is the exclusive Yankee agent for Cedar Lodge, which is considered to be the best world value in heli-fishing travel.

We also work hand-in-hand with one of Air New Zealand’s largest agents in the US.

Patagonia TROUT FISHING

HE F LY SHOP has been part of the cutting-edge of South American fly fishing for more than 30 years and our experienced travel staff has spent a collective lifetime exploring Patagonia. Our first forays to Chile, more than three decades ago took us to the historic Lake District near Puerto Montt, made famous by Joe Brooks and Ernie Schweibert in the 1960’s. From there we expanded our search for great fishing south beyond the Strait of Magellan. We continue to visit every year and keep our finger on the pulse of the trout fishing in that part of Patagonia, remaining intimately familiar not only with every destination we represent, but all the other fishing destinations in Chile and Argentina as well.

Using that wealth of experience, we’ve chosen the lodges, guides, and outfitters we work with carefully. Many are the same pioneers who opened the Latin American fly fishing frontier, and often, we were there to help them. Together we brought the first float plane to Chile and explored the uncharted angling of the rugged Patagonia coastline for rainbows and sea trout. The Fly Shop® was instrumental in helping develop the great fishing of Aisen, far south of Puerto Montt. And most experts would agree that The Fly Shop® portfolio of lodges, guides, and outfitters is the finest in Patagonia. Today there is simply no more knowledgeable angling travel agent better able assist in planning a trout or dorado fishing trip to Chile or Argentina. Give us a call and let us help you with your fly fishing reservations. That help doesn’t cost a dime. In fact, none of the lodge packages we offer can be found anywhere else in the world for less.

The best trophy rainbow trout

Fishing on Earth

OR SHEER SIZE and numbers of trophy rainbow trout, there is no argument that Lago Strobel (Jurassic Lake) in southern Argentina is in a class by itself. Jumbo rainbows in this fantastic fishery average 6 to 8 pounds, and often tip the scales well above fifteen pounds. The Fly Shop® has sent six of our team there in the past couple of years and we all agree, this spot consistently delivers the most exciting stillwater and some of the best stream fishing on Earth. There’s no exaggeration that could accurately describe the fishing or amplify the size and strength of these rainbows. Everything you’ve read, seen, or heard about the place is probably true. These fish are bull-strong, very aggressive, and attack streamers and surface flies. They’ll smoke your drag and expose parts of your backing that have never seen the light of day. McCloud River (located just a few miles north of The Fly Shop®) rainbow smolt were introduced to Lago Strobel in 1989. The fish met with a near-perfect environment; no predators, an ideal altitude, a temperate climate, rich food source, and ice cold water blended with a high alkali content.

It all coalesced to form Mother Nature’s own unique natural Trout Growth Hormone and then the size and number of these fish just skyrocketed. Nicknamed Jurassic because of the amazing size of its rainbows, the lake is about 5,000 acres in size, and fed by the Rio Barrancoso. The river is stuffed with huge fish from November thru January, and again in late March and April. It’s a rare chance to balance trophy stillwater and astounding stream action. It’s not unusual for anglers to catch and release quite a few of these monster trout every day of the season. After thorough investigation, The Fly Shop® quickly determined that, with access to half a dozen wind-protected bays, thirteen miles of lake shoreline, a very comfortable lodge, and more than 95% of the Barrancoso River, Estancia Laguna Verde is the obvious choice of the two Jurassic Lake lodges. estancia laguna verde The round trip vehicle transfers from Calafate are included in both packages, along with wines, sodas, beer, and mixed drinks. The only items not covered are fly fishing tackle and gratuities. The cozy, eight-person lodge is located on a smaller, fish-filled lake about two miles from Lago Strobel. Rooms are comfortable, and evening meals are a source of pride with the owners. Dinners and the cocktail hour are graced with fine Argentine varietals. s 7-night/6-day package $5,200 s 4-night/31⁄2-day package $3,100

How it all works in the ﬂy ﬁshing world of Patagonia T H E L O C K E D G A T E S of the Argentine estancias

are often the key to the country’s top trout fishing. With the exception of the National Parks, there is very little enforcement in easily accessible, public water, and the places that are easy to get to are often hammered by anglers with a catch-and keep mentality. The great estancias near Bariloche and San Martin de los Andes border legendary rivers.We represent the best. G U I D E S N E A R S A N M A R T I N and Bariloche

usually move from estancia to estancia with their anglers, perhaps spending a few days at the elegant Arroyo Verde and fishing the Traful River before moving

on to the Estancia San Huberto and the Malleo, or floating and camping on some remote Patagonia river. Typically, angling packages combine a couple of different estancias, or perhaps a few days floating the Alumine River flowing through the Mapuche Indian Reservation. Each experience is unique and visits to these angling estancias add a memorable facet to the fishing. The Fly Shop® has worked closely with Estancia Arroyo Verde for a generation. The challenging 12 miles of the Traful on this estancia rates as one of the most beautiful river stretches in all of Argentina. Public access is all but non-existent. Charles Gaines in Forbes called Arroyo Verde, “The finest fishing lodge in the world. Period.” Guests at Tipiliuke and Quemquemtreu enjoy magnificent wade and float trips on the Chimehuin and Collon Cura Rivers, returning each evening to the lap of luxury. Both estancias offer excellent wading on isolated home water in addition to superb dining and service. estancia san huberto borders miles and miles of the famous Rio Malleo. It’s a classic freestone river that’s reminiscent of Montana with familiar, everyday hatches. Two generations of the Olsen family have hosted fly rodders and offered spring-to-fall, dawn-to-dark, dry fly fishing, fine food and lodging. Space here is very limited.

Rio Grande brown trout average over nine pounds. One fish in five is over fifteen and one in forty will be a real “puerco del rio” and tip honest scales above twenty pounds. An average Rio Grande brown would be the fish of a lifetime anywhere else in the world!

H E F I R S T S E A T R O U T O F Tierra del Fuego were stocked by John Goodall, an expatriate Brit, lonely for freshwater fishing and the sea run brown trout of his own native island. He first planted them (along with rainbows) on his own estancia in the Ewan River, and then turned to the Rio Grande and other rivers on the island in 1935. Both the rainbows and the brown trout first established strong resident populations in the Rio Grande and by the middle of the 20th century, there were quite a few of both brands of trout in the main stem, headwaters, and tributaries. For more than two decades the size of the sea trout averaged four or five pounds. By European standards that size was considered phenomenal, and fanatics began flocking to the Rio Grande in the 1960’s. The famous outdoor writer, Joe Brooks chronicled the state of the fishery in his best selling book, Greatest Fishing, Where to Go to Get the Best (Stackpole, 1957). He described the rainbows as “plentiful, and averaging 3 to 7 pounds.” In two weeks of hard fishing, he and his three companions landed only five brown trout over ten pounds. Within fifteen years of that publication virtually all the rainbows and resident browns in the lower 30 or 40 miles of the river were gone, leaving a strong population of two pound ‘bows in the headwaters, some resident browns in the tributaries, and an ever-increasing annual migration of sea run brown trout that soon claimed the river as their own. The most recent fisheries biologists to study the Rio Grande have theorized the original browns and resident rainbows literally ate themselves out of house and home, gobbling up all the native forage fish, chowing down on the local invertebrates, and then trading the river sanctuary for the sea estuary and the giant, plentiful grocery store of the Atlantic Ocean. Frontiers Travel (Wexford, PA), began working with the owners of the largest estancia on the Rio Grande’s southern riverbank, and the completion of Kau Tapen (the first lodge on the river) in 1982 kick-started the reputation of the Rio Grande as the most sought after fly fishing experience in the Americas. Another two decades passed and the population of sea run brown trout suddenly and unexpectedly exploded. The average size of the fish nearly doubled and the number of true river monsters went nuts. Rio Grande brown trout average over 9 pounds. One fish in five is over 15 and one in 40 will be a real “puerco del rio” and tip the scales above 20 pounds. An average Rio Grande brown would be the fish of a lifetime anywhere else in the world. w w w . t h e f ly s h o p . c o m

If John Goodall was still alive, he’d have been very proud that his modest experiment has morphed into one of the most fabled trout fisheries on Earth. Though the headwaters and most of the Rio Grande is actually on the Chilean side of the border, nearly 80% of the prime spawning habitat, the major spawning tributary, and the best sea trout fishing is on the Argentine portion of the island, most of it in the first 45 miles above where the river enters the sea. Virtually all of that is encompassed by Estancia Maria Behety, the largest remnant of a grand family holding that once stretched from the Atlantic to the Pacific. This huge working sheep and cattle ranch borders most of the northern Rio Grande riverbank. Its fences begin near tidewater and surround several hundred square miles of grazing land as well as the largest and most productive angling portion of the Rio Grande. With the help of The Fly Shop®, construction of the Estancia Maria Behety Lodge in 2000 and restoration of La Villa, the historic Menendez family mansion, was completed in 2004. Fiercely proud of their heritage, the Menendez family insisted on staffing both lodges with Argentine management, local guides, and native born chefs and domestic staff. They also allow limited, catchand-release access to Argentines. These are the two finest fly fishing lodges on the river and accommodate a combined maximum of eighteen anglers, who share and alternate daily use of more than 50 kilometers (102 pools) with the lodges on the opposite shore of the Rio Grande. The lodges on the southern shoreline of the Rio Grande are Kau Tapen, Villa Maria, Despedida, La Aurelia, and Ted Turner’s Estancia San Jose. Anglers from all those lodges alternate the use of the river beats with Maria Behety in a friendly, organized rotation, insuring a quality, private fly fishing experience for everyone. The maximum combined occupancy of all the Rio Grande lodges between the Atlantic Ocean and the Chilean border is about 50 anglers. That’s an average of nearly a private mile of water and several huge pools for every single possible fisherman who could be accommodated in all the Rio Grande lodges. - Continued next page 800-669-3474

Hooked on the Rio Grande

Coming up tight with a trophy sea trout is an experience that nearly deﬁes description

O S T S E R I O U S A N G L E R S dream of big trout and no other river anywhere on Earth makes those dreams come true more often than the Rio Grande. It usually happens several times a day for everyone at our two Estancia Maria Behety lodges and they do it in style. This place consistently re-defines what trophy trout fishing is all about, how big is big, and everyone’s concept of a prize. Hooking up with a big, sea run brown is an experience that’s hard to describe. Most fish grab a nymph or streamer on the swing and it just stops. It is seldom a violent strike, and your first notion is you’ve hooked a snag. But the Rio Grande is something akin to a giant pasture with very few snags. The bottom’s perfect to wade and there are few rocks big enough to even trip on, so it’s rare to hang up. While your mind is processing that, the 3foot “snag” starts shaking its head, tipping you off it’s time to set the hook and plant your feet. In fact, every cast on the Rio Grande has the potential to hook a true elephant fish, and the odds are high that many guests at one of our Rio Grande lodges will land a real trophy during their stay. While angling success has some correlation with skills and fishing conditions, most fly rodders on the Rio Grande land between 3 and 6 fish every day, often hooking twice that many. A decade ago there were few spey rods on the river. Then spey rods and switch rods became popular with the steelhead anglers in the Northwest. Now they’re the rule, not the exception. The long rods cover the pool with less effort, and have conquered the wind that has always plagued Tierra del Fuego anglers, and more and more fish are being caught in recent years.

Anglers participating in a recent 3-year Rio Grande study caught, tagged and released 5,039 browns. Only 290 were recaptured (< 6%) in subsequent seasons. With an estimated population in the river of nearly 76,000 browns at peak escapement, fisheries biologists have calculated that fewer than 7% of the sea trout in the river are ever caught.

142

Consider that the University of Montana spent more than three years and thousands of hours gathering data and their biologists estimate that there are 600 to 800 fish in every one of the great spawning pools of the lower (that portion below the Chilean border) Rio Grande.

Thousands of these huge, sea-run browns are caught each season, yet when the population studies are compared to the catch records accurately kept by each guide and lodge on the river, it’s clear a surprisingly small percentage of the fish (which don’t actively feed after returning to the river) actually end up ever getting hooked. What triggers aggressive behavior is speculation, but what can’t be challenged is that every week on the Rio Grande can be, and usually is phenomenal fishing. Big browns start to return to the pools of the Rio Grande in large, measurable numbers in November. Less than a month later the river is loaded with fish and it’s estimated that, by the first day of each New Year, nearly 80% of the entire escapement (estimated at approximately 76,000 adult fish) has reached their annual family reunion. Silver sea trout continue to pour into the Rio Grande on every tide until sometime in mid-May. The most sought after dates at the Rio Grande lodges are in January, February and March, usually the most pleasant part of the near-Antarctic summer. Like fishing everywhere, the most productive week of the season shifts each year and can’t be consistently targeted on the calendar. Early season fish are acrobatic and aggressive, while the number of trout in the river system increases every week. When the weather cooperates, late March and early April weeks have both recorded record levels of fish and it’s when the largest fish of the season are landed.

They double in size as the abbreviated Patagonia summer progresses and, when the surrounding meadows begin to dry up, those hordes of hoppers move closer to the moist river’s edge. In a stiff breeze they’ll occasionally carpet the water and trigger a trout feeding frenzy. More often, the fish simply lie in wait below miles and miles of river lined with grassy cutbanks that shelter a staggering population of brown trout. All of this begins a stone’s throw from the threshold of El Saltamontes, where guests have unlimited access to the river and ancient oxbow lagoons on this cattle and alpaca ranch that does double duty as a fly fishing lodge.

The days are long and the sun comes up early and sets late in the Patagonia summer.

H E N T H E G A T E S to this lodge first opened for anglers in 1982, El Saltamontes established a gold standard by which the other Chilean fishing lodges have since been measured. There are no other fishing lodges in the “Valley of the Moon” and it’s nearly an hour to the nearest street light. If competing lodges in the region or any of the few independent anglers found in Chile were interested in the Nireguao, they’d have a helluva commute. Even then, fourwheel drive vehicles, horses, and specialty float equipment provide the necessary tools to access the canyon stretch of the Nireguao river and other regional fisheries that are practically offlimits to casual anglers and puts El Saltamontes guests on water that only a handful of lodge guests visit each season. Fishing is close, there’s little or no wasted motion, and not much time spent travelling. Fly rodders often begin or end their fishing day near the lodge. There’s plenty of water around and anglers seldom repeat a stream or river experience during their visit. Each day’s fishing is tailored to mirror every individual guest’s interests. While wading or floating the Nireguao is high on most visitor’s itinerary, this breathtaking ranch boasts a number of private spring creeks, several oxbow lagunas packed with thick-bodied browns and several lakes. The Rio Nireguao begins in high desert meadows, and flows slow, clear and undisturbed through a few other neighboring cattle ranches before arriving at the El Saltamontes fenceline. The lodge’s old-world furnishings, superb meals, and personal touches reflect the Gorroño family’s commitment to comfort, privacy, and having Chile’s finest fly fishing lodge. Cocktail hour and after-dinner entertainment are pure pleasure for everyone, and a wonderful reminder that you have travelled to a place beyond the stresses of everyday life

A terrific place for the whole family El Saltamontes limits the number of their fishing guests to ten, yet has space for fourteen, inviting single occupancy options and making it a perfect place for non-fishing companions. Guests interested in this ranch’s superb horseback riding and equestrian options will find it a first-class, Chilean outdoor experience highlighted by few fences and stunning scenery.

Drift trips are full day affairs in the local mountain valley rivers, or can be extended to include a stay at one of several overnight camps built on sections of wilderness rivers seen by only a few lodge guests each summer. Adventurous, physically-fit anglers are welcome to hike the nearby creek tribs or plan horseback trips to high lakes and even more distant streams, from November through April. The lodge itself is tucked into a remote valley midway between the coastline and the Andes. It is surrounded by rainforest and snow-capped mountains that provide a constant source of clean, clear, cold water. It is the ideal habitat for a mix of trophy rainbows and muscle-bound brown trout.

This is the perfect spot for the angler seeking diversity, solitude, and a hard-core South American ﬂy ﬁshing adventure! Va l A t k i n s o n p h o t o

F I S H I N G alternatives at Patagonian BaseCamp seem endless. There are few people in the region and angling pressure is all but nonexistent. The local map is dotted with spring creeks, small streams, and large, freestone rivers in every direction. Some of this fishing is further divorced from outside fishing pressure by rapids requiring whitewater experience and skill, while other places demand technical jet boat maneuvering.

T H E B A S E C A M P L O D G E in the midst of the evergreen, beech, and bamboo forest that makes

up most of the Province of Aisen is hardly a camp, but it is a base, perfectly situated in the middle of some of Chile’s finest, though seldom-seen fishing. Built a decade ago for fishermen on the shoreline of the Rio Palena, the lodge is a stone’s throw from the deck to excellent, after-hours fishing, and features nearly every imaginable comfort. Guests enjoy sauna, hot tub, private rooms with full baths, therapeutic massages, and daily laundry service. The lodge reflects the uncompromising standards of the owners, Marcel and Carolina Sijnesael, their passion for flyfishing, and talent in the kitchen and garden. Each sumptuous dinner is served with the best of Argentine and Chilean wines and the open bar is always fully stocked.

S P I R I T O F O U T D O O R adventure in every angler will definitely be satiated with Patagonian BaseCamps two optional out-camps; one on the Palena and another on the Figueroa. Fishermen and their guides arrive at each campsite at the end of a full day of fishing and floating through remote river canyons that most natives to the region have never seen. These four person, permanent bivouacs are perched on isolated riverbanks and surrounded by dense bamboo, beech and fuschia forest. The combination of true wilderness fishing and comfortable overnight lodging is even more remarkable in this remote corner of the world. The view of the river is spectacular from the dining room and lounge deck of these unique, and uber-comfortable camps. After a cold beer or glass of fine wine, a spectacular dinner, and a good night’s sleep in real beds (and the luxury of hot showers and flush toilets), guests rise at their leisure the next morning, and continue their float through an equally inaccessible stretch of river, catching big browns until they reach the distant take-out point.

The rivers & streams of the area seldom follow the roadway. They’re off the beaten path and require hard work, specialized equipment and plenty of know-how to fish properly. The area is a magnificent spiderweb of large rivers and small intimate streams and has something for everyone.

Peacock Bass

We’ve got the absolute best spot in the world for peacock bass!

Matt Harris photo

U P T H E headwaters of the Amazon, in an area better suited for a Tarzan movie than a fishing lodge, and more isolated than can be imagined are the biggest, meanest peacock bass in the world. Conventional fishermen had the corner on this exciting brand of bass fishing until a few years ago. Then pioneers like Larry Larsen and a few other die-hard fly rodders proved the tacklebusting peacocks could be handled successfully with our style of equipment. Fly-fishermen have since been astounded by the spectacular angling, and charmed by the unspoiled rain forest surroundings. There are half a dozen fine mother ships and houseboat operations in the Amazon. Most cater exclusively to the conventional tackle crowd and our experience is that fly rodders aren’t generally well-received. There’s one operation that is in a class by itself in the fly fishing world of peaock bass, Agua Boa Lodge.

agua boa lodge The talented Agua Boa Lodge staff caters only to fly rodders and offers sight-fishing for an endless supply of muscle-bound Tucunare on nearby sand bars. Their boats and equipment are first-class and guests return from fishing each day to fine dining, cold drinks, a topnotch facility and swimming pool. Clients are met in Manaus, Brazil, then transported by charter flight to the remote Amazon tributary location as part of the package. Oct.-Dec.

s 7-day package

$4,850

Agua Boa was recently selected by Forbes Magazine as one of the top 10 fishing lodges in the world, a well-deserved honor. The well-trained guides are dedicated exclusively to fly fishermen and the Agua Boa River is one of very few Brazilian rivers designated as catch-andrelease and protected by authorities. The white sand-bottomed, clear, Agua Boa River is bordered by a primal hardwood forest reaching hundreds of feet to the sky. Its clarity makes it well-suited to fly fishing, further setting it apart from other peacock spots and cementing its claim as the best fly fishing river of its kind in the world. Sight-casting to cruising peacock bass (tucunaré) as they glide across the sandybottomed shallows is an experience that will test your tackle and your ticker.

BOLIVIA & ARGENTINA

Dorado

In Bolivia, the natives call these incredibly fierce, powerful, migratory predators, “los tigres del rio”. They resemble radiant-yellow king salmon on steroids, with terrible orthodonture and a bad attitude. For obvious reasons they’re among the most exciting freshwater fish that can be tackled with a fly rod!

O C A L S P O R T S M E N in Argentina and Bolivia have been rabid Dorado anglers for generations, and the quarry has enjoyed an absolute burst of popularity after the recent discovery of a few isolated fisherman-friendly, exotic clear jungle rivers and marshlands where sight fishing is the rule rather than the exception. In fact, the strike of a Dorado is unbelievably violent, and is immediately followed by a relentless series of line-stripping runs and explosive, acrobatic leaps. Broken rods are common, and the fish can literally rip the rod from your hands. Dorado are exceptionally strong and range in size from 5 to 50 pounds. The record is 70. These aren’t just big fish. They’re voracious creatures that hammer topwater flies and attack streamers with reckless abandon. Dorado have only two modes of behavior: kill and reproduce. Apparently they can multi-task since these fish are often in the kill mode and spawning mode simultaneously. These migratory predators spend their entire life in freshwater, either spawning or chasing baitfish. The two most common prey are sabalo (a migratory baitfish the size of a small shad) and one of several common tetras (like giant guppies). Dorado are so mean that they eat each other, eat their young, and in the juvenile stage swim in small circles chewing at each other’s tails. In fact, it is rare to find a small, young Dorado that hasn’t been scarred by a relative.

Perhaps their dysfunctional family life is the reason the fish are such impressive fighters and acrobats. Once hooked, they’ll seldom leave a pool but, like Atlantic Salmon, use every inch of it. Fishing for Dorado first gained popularity in Argentina’s turbid Parana and its tributaries. The legendary A.J. McClane felt they deserved a gold medal as a sportfish and chased them relentlessly. Dorado literally jumped onto the fly fishing radar screen when they showed up in the clear water of the Ibera Marsh and the Corrientes River, then exploded in popularity when huge fish were located in the small, clear, intimate jungle streams and rivers of Southern Bolivia. Grant Whiswell’s award-winning video, Devil’s Gold (view it on YouTube) catapulted both Dorado fishing and Tsimane Lodge into full focus at the 2010 Fly Fishing Film Festival, and interest in Dorado hasn’t calmed down since. These macho Latin-American fish will take flies both on top of the water and sub-surface. Using intermediate fly lines or sinking tips in combination with large streamers is the most productive pursuit method, particularly in fast current and swift, shallow stream channels, but the heart-stopping thrill of watching a fish longer than your leg smack a surface popper is worth the long trip south and the sacrifice of a few more fish. Techniques are simple, whether structure fishing in the Corrientes River, blind-casting in the Ibera Marsh, or casting to fish you can see in the Bolivia rivers and streams. These fish are mean as hell, but lazy when it comes to chasing their quarry, and the fly usually needs to be moved slowly and retrieved in long, slow pulls. The strike of a mature Dorado can be either subtle or violent, but when the fish feels the steel, all hell breaks loose. These fish usually go airborne immediately and the combat is charged with explosive bursts of power, each punctuated by tailwalking attempts to toss the hook. Dorado this big are ferocious animals that don’t give up, even when the battle is over. They’ll often attack the angler with a mouthful of sharp teeth after they’ve been landed. These predators move into the Tsimane region from May through October and the season peaks in the marshlands and rivers of Northern Argentina from October through April.

2/3 Introduction 1/12/14 4:21 PM Page 2

The Tsimane Project is the first joint venture in the fly fishing world between a native group and a private enterprise for mutual profit. The small (less than 2,000) tribe of indigenous Tsimanes participate in the creation, construction, and operation of the lodges and camps. They form the majority of the labor pool and take an everincreasing role in the development and protection of their own fishery.

The Tsimane lodges, the best of Bolivia

tsimane is the most exciting jungle destination to arrive on the angling scene in a generation and gets our vote as one of the top exotic fly fisheries on Earth. This small stream, sight-fishing hotspot boasts incredible numbers of two species of Dorado that occasionally tip the scales at up to 40 pounds, along with fierce Amazon Pacú that can weigh up to 25 pounds. Located in a remote, indigenous territory of Bolivia where the Andes meet the upper Amazon, the rivers of Tsimane are both familiar and foreign. They’re pure jungle freestone fisheries, surrounded by tropical vegetation, and as clear as any western trout steam.Virtually all of of the fishing is done on foot, either wading or fishing from the bank.The rivers and their tributaries vary from sandy pools and gravel beaches to heavy riffles lined with sharp volcanic rocks or freestone boulders. The warm currents translate to slippery bottoms and every fishing day involves a lot of exercise. Wading isn’t risky or difficult, but there’s a lot of it. These packages are often strenuous and best suited for physically fit anglers with a spirit of adventure and an appetite for exotic, trophy fishing beyond the conventional. The only practical way into the isolated jungle home of the Tsimane tribe is the hour and a half, private charter flight (included) from Santa Cruz.

With the exception of a few small fish destined for the table, all the fish caught by the angling guests are released unharmed.

tsimane’s itirizama and agua negra camps These small, state-of-the-art camps were created only last year. They are relatively virgin fisheries, located in the heart of a secluded and federally protected region of the Amazon jungle where Pacu and Dorado have lived for eons with little exposure to humans. Fishing can be incredible, and the entire expedition is over-the-top exhilarating. Both camps are operated as satellites for the remarkable Tsimane lodges and cater to only a few (2 to 4) anglers. They’re permanent and elegant, with African-style canvas cabins, with toilets and solar power showers. They can be booked independently, combined with each other, or added to Tsimane. s 5-night/4 day package $5,000 per person s 6-night/5 day package $5,990 per person

tsimane’s secure & pluma lodges Guests have access to nearly 50 miles of actionpacked angling in 3 rivers and several tributaries. The two lodges are elegant, carved out of the Amazon forest and feature fine meals and panoramic views of the rivers. Tsimane packages include 6.5 days of fishing with skilled Argentine guides at the Secure and Pluma lodges, plus 3 days at one of the two jungle camps, separated by a welcome day for rest and the air charter flight between the camp and lodge or 10.5 days of fishing (combining each of the camps with a charter flight between lodges) s 10-night/6.5 day package $7,850 per person s 14-night/10.5 day package $12,300 per person dorado on the fly (corrientes, argentina) Ricardo “Pinti” Pinto is the most famous dorado outfitter in Argentina and has forgotten more about dorado than most claim to know. His small, riverside lodge, located in a village on the bank of the Parana, is perfectly positioned to access the endless river, back bays, and side channels harboring some of the largest dorado in the world! The place features lovely guest rooms, fine meals, great wines, and a full bar.

Air travel to Turks and Caicos is painless with at least half a dozen daily flights servicing Providenciales, the main island where visitors clear immigrations and customs quickly. A short flight from Provo will get you to South Caicos, followed by a short auto transfer to the lodge. Lodging is simple, yet very comfortable with ensuite baths and air-conditioning. The food is excellent and the outfitter’s attention to detail and execution is very professional.

is the perfect way to explore over a hundred square miles of ankle or midcalf deep flats that surround the island. It’s capable of handling up to six anglers, and there’s no more practical or fun method to get around. In fact, everything but the travel is done on foot, and there’s no time lost in locating schools of bones with these remarkable watercraft. Experienced pilot/guides skim the shallow flats until they find fish, leaving no doubt there are finned visitors a hop, skip, and a cast away. The eagle-eyed guide will circumnavigate the flats in the airboat, until he intercepts several large schools of bonefish. He’ll have you bail out in hot pursuit, and hound the fish until they’re either caught, disappear, or you need a break in the action. It’s a different way of getting around than anything most flats anglers are accustomed to, but in this part of the world, surrounded by so much skinny water, airboats make sense and the results are impressive.

The sleepy, sparsely populated island of South Caicos in the British West Indies is home to bonefish averaging an honest four pounds and there are plenty of them along with a few double-digit fish. Expect long and exciting days on the water and no complaints from the highly-motivated and experienced guides. There’s no attitude, clock-watching, bellboy union mentality to deal with at South Caicos. It’s crystal clear that the guides enjoy their time on the water as much as the anglers. And if the fish keep on coming at the end of the day, plan on watching the sun set on their tails instead of high-tailing it for the barn. These are some of the sexiest, largest, and most productive white sand flats we’ve ever waded. South Caicos is still a relatively undiscovered fly fishing destination and a perfect fit for the hardcore bonefisherman who wants to hunt “the white fox of the marls” on foot.

This is Grand Central America for productive bonefish, permit, and tarpon fishing action with a fly.

There may not be a better place in the saltwater world to learn to fish for bones than Ascension Bay. The fish here are plentiful, aggressive, and usually dumb. The flats are light-colored and shallow, helping make it easy to spot fish, and learn the ropes.

A N C U N T O U R I S T S are, for the most part, unaware that the entire perimeter of the Mexican Yucatan is a coastal angling wilderness. Here, under the protective wings of The World Heritage Foundation and a very progressive government is some of the most productive flats fishing in the world, and where aggressive schools of bonefish, permit, tarpon, and snook have been swimming unmolested for eons. Ascension Bay is the most popular flats destination on the fly fishing map, and for good reason! It’s fed an almost constant resupply of fish from the seas, and experts estimate that more bonefish and permit are hooked, and more “grand slams” happen in the Ascension Bay region of the Yucatan than anywhere else in the world, or than everywhere else combined.

The difficult-to-access flats, back-country estuaries, mangrove-choked bays and hidden lagoons surrounding the rest of the Yucatan provide even more opportunity for fly rodders to focus on tarpon and connect with one or more of the “Big Four”. With more than fifty economical flights a day from the States servicing Cancun, the lodges of the Yucatan are easy to get to, and inexpensive. The Fly Shop® has been fishing the waters of the Yucatan Peninsula for more than thirty years and we know every inch of the coastline geography. We’ve been instrumental in the development and protection of this fishery and all of Sian Ka’an. Please give us a call if you’d like more detailed information, or are interested in rates, dates, or reservations.

Paradise in the Yucatan

This beachfront Caribbean villa is within striking distance of the two most remote ﬂats ﬁsheries left in the Mexican Yucatan!

S A L T W A T E R W I L D E R N E S S surrounding Paradise Lodge begins just north of the property line, at the entrance to the Sian Ka’an biosphere. This southern entrance to the isolated 1.4 million acre preserve is more than 4 hours from Cancun by vehicle on constantly improving roads. There are no nearby pueblos, or other fishing lodges, and only a few neighboring, seasonal vacation homes dotting the Caribbean shoreline. The isolation requires a bit more travel time than the lodges near Ascension Bay. Chasing tarpon, bones, snook or permit without having another angler in sight is a rare experience in today’s world; but it’s an everyday experience at Paradise.

Using state-of-the-art skiffs, the knowledgeable native guides score regularly on bonefish, tarpon, snook and permit at what is generally acknowledged as the final Yucatan frontier. Testimony to the quality of the fishing is the fact that 47 permit were brought to hand at Espiritu Santo Bay by Paradise guides in only 4 months of the last season. Paradise Lodge is one of only 2 actively permitted sportfishing operations in the isolated Bajia Espiritu Santo. Once considered inaccessible, this fish-rich bay is a daily, weather-dependent option for Paradise guests and one of the most fish-rich spots left in the Mexican Yucatan. email:

Guests leave early each morning destined for Chetumal Bay, Bajia Espiritu Santo, or the half dozen nearby, inland tarpon lagoons.

The lagoons of Paradise range in size from 60 to over 900 acres. The lodge uses small skiffs and john boats to prospect the mangrove shoreline, searching for juvenile tarpon. The number of boats, guides, and pressure brought to bear on the lagunas and bays is limited by the government and Sian Ka’an.

Eight-weight tarpon in the nearby lagoons put this place on the fly fishing map in the 1980’s. Backcountry bonefish, permit, and snook have kept it there! The lodge is roughly equidistant from the remote northern shore of Chetumal Bay and the isolated Bajia Espiritu Santo. Both are about an hour and a half from the lodge in comfortable, air-conditioned Suburbans and trucks. The balance of angling is done in coastal lagoons formed by cenotes. The lagunas are replenished regularly with a fresh supply of migrating tarpon, snook, and forage fish. All together, it is a remarkable ecosystem custom-tailored by Mother Nature for fly fishermen.

Bahamas

Boneﬁsh in the

“Poling or wading the tidal flats of the Bahamas produces some of the best bonefishing in the world. While other locations may score a heavier fish occasionally, or greater quantities of small bonefish, veteran flats anglers make this their first choice.”

A.J. McClane(1971, Field & Stream)

S E D I T O R O F Field & Stream magazine, A.J. McClane was

undoubtedly the most influential, widely travelled and knowledgeable angling personality of his day. To those of us that knew McClane, his bias regarding the choice of the Bahamas over other light tackle destinations was perfectly understandable. He loved fly fishing the East end of Grand Bahama Island, and it was no secret he’d rather be there than anywhere else on Earth. McClane’s endorsement of the Bahamas is as correct now as when they were written nearly fifty years ago, and a still accurate reflection of how most veteran fly fishermen feel about choices in today’s saltwater. It is, in fact, the first place most of us think about when the subject is mentioned. The Bahamas has it all. There are convenient daily flights and regularly scheduled charters from Florida to every island in the Bahamas. The “Out islands” may be a bit more difficult to reach, and the occasionally unreliable Bahamas Air flights can be frustrating, but most lodges we represent can be reached in a single day from anyplace in the lower forty-eight.

h2o bonefishing, freeport, grand bahama Pelican Bay is a wonderful choice for anglers, couples or families, but make no mistake, this bonefishing is as good as it gets. These popular, flexible packages include accommodations at Pelican Bay Resort (one of the island’s resort hotels), breakfast, packed lunches, terrific guides, modern skiffs, and easy access to the world-class flats of Grand Bahama. Fishermen fashion their own after-angling dinner and evening entertainment plans at any of dozens of nearby restaurants, boutiques, golf courses and casinos. s 4-night/3-day $1,990 s 7-night/6-day $3,795 s Packages can be tailored for groups and families

Many returning travellers clear U.S. Immigration Services in Freeport and hit the ground running in the States. No lines; no waiting; no hassles. The refreshingly pro-American, English-speaking Bahamian guides are well versed in the intricacies of flats fishing and today’s 2nd generation of talented fly fishing experts are all fluent in the language of fly fishing. Bahamas bonefish are, on the average, good-sized fish, and there are plenty of them. Experienced anglers would agree that the chance to land a true trophy bonefish (in the eight to ten pound range) is probably better on the flats surrounding Andros Island or Grand Bahama than anywhere else in the western hemishpere. Angling pioneers chose Grand Bahama Island as home to the first and most saltwater famous fly fishing lodges. Then a broad range of bonefish destinations and lodges popped up as inter-island travel improved. Serious, hard-core fly fishermen can find just the kind of action they’re after, while anglers travelling with their wives or families and friends can fill the needs of everyone on the same, modestly-priced Bahamian holiday.

north riding point club, east end, grand bahama island This luxury lodge rates near the top of everyone’s list of great trophy bonefishing resorts. North Riding Point Club anglers will spend their time on the world-famous trophy bonefish flats of Grand Bahama in relative seclusion. Fish here are very large on the average, and it isn’t unusual to get shots at true monsters on these flats. Nothing is spared at the Club, and the packages include everything that is necessary to insure a marvelous fishing holiday. North Riding Point guides are among the most experienced in the Bahamas, and their guests enjoy spacious, air-conditioned, beachfront bungalows, a wonderful dining room and bar as well as a refreshing freshwater pool for after hours relaxation. s 6-day seasonal package $5,340 s Non-angling and group package prices are available

water cay bonefish lodge New, small, and the most isolated bonefish operation on Grand Bahama Island, this is a place for serious fishermen. Water Cay offers access to unpressured fishing, trophy opportunities, a superb guide staff, a comfortable, wellappointed lodge and good solid food. All of it combines to make Water Cay Bonefish Lodge a great choice for your next hard-core trip. s 7-night/6 day package $3,295 s 6-night/5 day package $2,995 s Shorter non-angling and group packages available

FOUR ANDROS ISLAND LODGES

at the top of everyone’s list mangrove cay club, andros This lodge, with lovely cottages and an inviting clubhouse has ushered in a new era of comfort for Andros anglers. The Club is a first-class operation with an exceptional group of guides and an ideal location. There are 600 square miles of flats, all within easy striking distance. Fishing begins or ends right at the dock, and it’s a relatively short run to the remote west side. The numbers of fish can be astounding, the opportunities for trophy-size fish are routine, and there’s little other angling pressure on this part of the island. Absolutely, highly recommended! s 7-night/6-day package $5,200 andros south, congo town, andros Andros South puts the emphasis right where most of our dedicated crowd of saltwater anglers feel it should be, right at the end of the fly line. If you're looking for white linen tablecloths, you should probably look elsewhere. But not enough great things can be said about their location. South Andros Island is riddled with innumerable tidal creeks and inland flats. The entire place is home to hundreds of thousands of hungry bonefish and the Andros South guides are a flyfishingsavvy crowd who know the water like the backs of their hands. They’ve built and have an enviable reputation for talent and an enthusiastic work ethic. That, alone, has helped make this one of the Bahamas most popular bonefish lodges. All guests have private rooms. s 7-night/6-day $4,635 s 3-night/ 2-day package $1,845 bair’s lodge, congo town, andros This spot gets our endorsement as one of the top lodges in Saltwater! Bair’s guests enjoy an endof-the-road lodge with superb, beachfront, air-conditioned accommodations. The talented guides have easy access to some of the best Andros bonefish back-country as well as the South Andros shoreline (famous for hungry, trophy bonefish). The home water is where really big babies pop out of blue creeks, pouring onto shallow, peripheral flats to forage for crabs. s 7-night/6-day package, March - June $5,150 s 7-night/6-day package, October - March $4,995

abaco lodge Strategically located at the edge of the Marls on the western shore of Abaco, this great new bonefish lodge has quickly raised the bar for Bahamian comfort and service. It’s a high-end destination offering immediate access to an extensive maze of well-protected, shallow flats and amazing numbers of aggressive bonefish. The creation of the still-new, world-class bonefishing Abaco Lodge, dead-center in the heart of the fishing was not accomplished without thought and experience. The lodge was designed from scratch by the same folks that own and manage Bair’s and Kau Tapen. They know how to take care of fly fishermen, and have proven up to the task with this new operation. Abaco Lodge is simultaneously geared toward serious saltwater flyrodders that want very comfortable accommodations along with a strong fishing program and the expert infrastructure to support both. Abaco’s main lodge caters to only 8 anglers at one time, each accommodated in single private rooms with A/C. Guests enjoy a spectacular view of the Marls from the large picture windows and the choice of a cozy, wellstocked bar or unique outdoor patio to share fishing yarns as the sun sets. The relaxing atmosphere is enhanced by an outdoor, freshwater pool, fire pit, and a large deck overlooking nearby flats that routinely sport tailing bonefish. Hands down, this is one of the nicest bonefish lodges in the world of angling travel. s One week package, Oct - March $4,995 s One week package, April - July $5,250 phone

stafford creek, east andros Prescott Smith and his expert guides have built a reputation that attracts flats fishermen from all over the world to Stafford Creek’s air-conditioned cottages and bonefish-covered flats. The fishing grounds on Andros’ east side are dominated by 50-odd cays dotting a 125-square mile sand bank. It’s a meandering spiderweb of channels that criss-cross a huge, shallow shelf, reaching far into an off-shore blue Caribbean that constantly replenishes these flats with some of the largest bonefish in the world. Stafford Creek Lodge is only a short commute to the even more famous West Side of Andros. s 7-night/6-day package $5,927

There are jungle rivers that pierce the 170-mile long shoreline and bays that harbor giant tarpon and snook. The huge, shallow Chetumal Bay also has it all, and the smaller coral atolls dotting the coast are surrounded by picture-perfect permit habitat.

turneffe flats lodge is recognized as a premier saltwater fly fishing and SCUBA diving destination. Air-conditioned beachfront cabins, white sand beach, miles of bonefish and permit flats and tarpon fishing await every guest. A portion of the world’s second longest barrier reef is within wading distance of the shoreline. There’s snorkeling a stone’s throw from the Turneffe cabanas and easy access to 300-square miles of the archipelago reefs, flats, channels and lagoons. Non-anglers are welcome, and there’s plenty beyond relaxation to enjoy. s 7-night/6-full day packages range from $3,430 to $3,930

belize river lodge is nestled into the rain forest canopy just beyond the limits of the capitol. It was the first and remains the best situated lodge in this small Caribbean nation. The cozy lodge on the shoreline of the Belize River is only minutes by boat to the finest and most diverse fishing in the country. Adult (100-pound plus tarpon) are regular visitors to the river and the flats nearest the lodge, and a few more minutes in the skiff will put anglers in the midst of some of the best bonefish, permit, tarpon, and snook fishing in Belize. Its riverside location features tarpon and snook on those occasional windy days that can plague any flats. The lodge has a welldeserved reputation for experienced, hard-working guides, who’ll do whatever it takes, day in and day out, to insure a great trip. Belize River Lodge’s central, land-based location is ideal for anglers and their families or non-angling companions. There’s a variety of eco-tour options, including Mayan tours, wildlife-viewing (jaguar, monkeys, and manatee sanctuaries), incredible birding along the river, a regional zoo, souvenir shopping, and superb snorkeling near the flats.

permit fishing can be fantastic off the coast of southern Belize. In fact, it may be the most prolific permit fishery in the hemisphere. We work with native guides in the villages that dot its southern coastline and represent several, angler-oriented lodges in Belize. These comfortable, well-managed lodges with permit-driven guides are perfectly located for quick access to an endless number of flats featuring near-perfect permit habitat. It’s an area well-suited to serious, determined fly fishers, yet perfect for those anxious to hook their first, or their fiftieth permit. The local lodges we’ve chosen to work with are modestly priced and both offer first class fishing and fly fishing-savvy tarpon, permit, and bonefish guides s Whipray Cay (Placencia) 7 night/6 day $3,285 s Garbutt’s Fly Fishing (Punta Gorda) 7 night/6 day $2,865

C E N T U R Y P I R A T E S recognized the beauty of Ambergris Caye and became its first European inhabitants. They could hardly imagine that hundreds of years later their coastal hideout would mature into one of the most deluxe fishing, diving, and family resorts in the Caribbean. But after nearly four decades of serving serious fly fishermen, El Pescador has added world-class diving, snorkeling, sea-kayaking, trips to majestic Mayan ruins, cave tubing, zip lines, and other eco-adventures galore. It’s morphed into a place to visit with the whole family or a bunch of friends. It’s a rare fishing resort that can also combine exploring the mystic beauty of the Caribbean and Central America, allowing guests to build a holiday into more than just a fishing trip.

El Pescador is all about tarpon and fun! El Pescador is no less a world-class tarpon fishery than Key West. Because they’ve added amenities, and are now more than a backwater lodge, doesn’t mean the fishing has suffered. The Native guides who have grown up on these flats have helped ensure angling success for decades. Guides, in fact, are better than ever, and there are not many anglers on these flats than there were a decade ago.

The nearby Bay of Chetumal shares the characteristics and quality of permit, tarpon, and bonefishing that made neighboring Ascension Bay famous.

In fact, El Pescador’s beach-front accommodations have become the rival of other top echelon vacation spots. What was once a destination dedicated exclusively to serious tarpon, permit, and bonefish anglers has now evolved into a retreat that’s also popular with wives, kids, and girlfriends. It has three swimming pools, villa upgrades, free use of a flotilla of sea kayaks, a licensed dive master, and spectacular diving near the second largest barrier reef on Earth. w w w . t h e f ly s h o p . c o m

el pescador raised its flag as a fly-friendly, tarpon terminus in the 1980’s. The lodge took a great leap forward with a massive architectural facelift at the turn of the century. The arrival of fly fishing talent Lori Ann Murphy next signalled a dramatic commitment to an era of professional management and dedication to expert guiding. The combination has vaulted El Pescador into the short list of truly fine saltwater fly fishing lodges. s 7-night/6-day package $3,755 s 6-night/5-day package $3,260 s Non-angling, diving, family, & single rates available

Los Roques VENEZUELA

This sleepy little off-shore village is a ﬂy ﬁshing Eden, far from the hustle and politics of the capitol!

los roques is a treasured Venezuelan National Park and an environmental model for other multiuse saltwater recreation areas. It’s a pristine fishing location, without paved roads or cars, in a friendly, apolitical village setting. Nearly every inch of Los Roques National Park is wadeable, and often covered with bonefish averaging nearly four pounds. The numbers of bonefish in the park can only be compared to Christmas Island or the Seychelles. Bonefishing is done here the way most prefer it, on foot. For anglers who love to wade fish for bones, Los Roques is truly one of the absolute best flats fishing destinations in the world today.

162

Los Roques is blessed with a nearEquatorial location, similar to Christmas Island, with great weather, and no mosquitoes. The archipelago actually has a very dry climate, and while there are nearly constant, mild trade-winds, it seldom rains. The best time to be there is from February through October. The mid-summer months are surprisingly cool and pleasant. s 7-night/6-day package $4,250 Fishing packages at Los Roques include the round-trip flight from the International Airport, as well as mainland lodging near the airport on the nights preceding island arrival, and night of departure

RAN

R O Q U E I S N E A R L Y 85 miles off the coast of Venezuela and serves as the island headquarters for the largest off-shore national park in the Caribbean. There are dozens of Venezuelans, Europeans, and wealthy Latin-Americans arriving on one of several short, 40-minute flights from the mainland every day. Most are there to lay on the beach, sail, snorkel, or dive the reefs surrounding this beautiful necklace of islands. Few care, or are at all concerned by politics and a more friendly, holiday environment can’t be imagined. The Fly Shop® was instrumental in opening the park to catchand-release sportfishing in 1988, and for helping establish strict limits on the number of anglers and government regulations to minimize impact on the fragile resource. Consequently, Los Roques remains a fly fishing paradise with very little pressure on the lightcolored, firm-bottomed bonefish flats. Nearly every inch of the shallow marl surounding the 354 cays of this archipelago can be waded and fishing there is done the way it should be, on foot. The average size of the Los Roques bonefish is impressive and the image of tailing fish on the flats of Los Roques is legendary. Our choice of outfitters at Los Roques is Chris Yrazabal and his Sight Cast Los Roques Guide Service. They’re supersavvy locals with bonefish smarts and fishing in their blood. Every one of these talented guides has been welltrained in the demands of fly fishermen. Each has the eyes of an osprey, a super work ethic, a firm understanding of the complex tides, and a great attitude. Los Roques remains an idyllic, off-shore park, surrounded by bonefish and far from political rhetoric. This necklace of islands is truly a world-class fly fishery complemented by a safe, unforgettable island atmosphere. The accommodations are excellent, with quiet, airconditioned guest rooms, private baths, and superb Italian cuisine at the end of every day of flats fishing. It has been one of The Fly Shop’s favorite destinations since the day we helped open the door to the fishery. email:

Christmas Island

Celebrates its 32nd anniversary as the top spot in the Paciﬁc

Michael Caranci photo

Kiribati is not, as some claim, better than ever. But it is a fine bonefishery that’s getting better and better. The average size and number of the bonefish is steadily growing, with lots of fish over four pounds and the occasional trophy showing up in the course of a week’s fishing. There are few places in the western hemisphere that are as good from November through March, and none more reliable.

ISCOVERY

O F this huge coral atoll by saltwater fly fishermen in 1982 was the spark that ignited the sudden interest in bonefishing. Christmas Island is easy to get to and custom-tailored for the sport. It’s clear, light-colored, shallow flats accelerates the learning curve and the fishery is ridiculously productive. It is a light tackle paradise in a giant wildlife sanctuary that has developed into one of the most prolific and best protected fisheries in the South Pacific. w w w . t h e f ly s h o p . c o m
