Meet Steph Albano: Founder of Finatical Flyfishing
Steph Albano is the founder and owner of Finatical Flyfishing and has enjoyed flyfishing travel most of her life. The trips offered in the western US are on rivers she has been fishing for many years. The international trips are some of the favorite destinations from recent travels. She has fished in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Alaska, the Bahamas, Mexico, Cuba, the Seychelles, Belize, Christmas Island, Hawaii and in the US.
In addition to being a passionate angler, she has enjoyed a business career based in Idaho. Her experience includes: international marketing, Director of Distribution Center operations, a Financial Analyst, sales, regional accounting positions and more. She has also enjoyed volunteering as a board member for several non-profits. Her attention to detail as an analyst and former and current business owner translates well into making sure all of the details for your best trip -those precious days on the water -are in place.
All trips are built around knowledgeable, skilled, high quality guide operations and amazing locations; giving you the best trip for your precious days on the water. As anglers and as people, we are shaped by the places we go and the experiences we have, both on and off the water.
What is Finatical Flyfishing?
Finatical Flyfishing offers fly fishing trips designed for women at diverse global destinations. These itineraries focus on flyfishing locations such as Idaho's Henry's Fork and Silver Creek, the Big Horn and Green rivers, Alaska, and international destinations including the Bahamas, Brazil, Cuba, Mexico, Argentina and Mongolia. The trips are flyfishing focused; whether you chase trout or pursue bonefish on tropical flats or peacock bass in the Amazon. Packages typically include guided flyfishing, accommodations, and meals, providing opportunities for both novice and experienced anglers. Friends and small groups are more than welcome but we also have a lot of solo anglers on every trip.
At the request of our regular return clients, we have started featuring hosted couples and mixed group trips in addition to the women’s trips. The Henry’s Fork, Sun Valley, Idaho and Mexico have all been included on the couples trip rosters. Contact us to sign up for the next one or be on the list for future couples trip information.

Wow what an experience! Participated in the Henry Fork Fly Fishing trip this past weekend. From start to finish, Steph was organized, timely and on top of all accommodations. Options were endless….nymphying, dry flies, hopper dropper and steamer fishing…they have it all!! Not only is Steph a great host but she can fish. Take a look at this catch. Way to go Steph. Had a blast. - Nyla H.
