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

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

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

Henry's Fork Couples Trip
August 17-21, 2023
Island Park, Idaho
The Henry’s Fork is a bucket list river and we’ll spend three days fishing the heart of it from Island Park, Idaho. Our TroutHunter guides focus on nine sections of the Henry’s Fork including the section known world-wide as ’The Ranch’. This beautiful technical water will be on the option list as well as many less technical streches. You can spend all three days fishing with your spouse or mix and match with the other 5 couples in the group for some ’guys days’ and ’women’s days’. 

August is beautiful  time to be on the Henry’s Fork. Terrestrials of all kinds, trico and other spinners are abundant and the flav’s may still be hanging on too.  The geese are starting to move back in and the crisp fall mornings are peaceful and beautiful. Generally there are still some wildflowers along the river, eagles and osprey make regular appearances and river sightings can include moose, deer, elk and even a black bear!

Three days guided fishing, four nights lodging, all meals and beer and/or wine with dinner. $5,799 per couple.
