Henry's Fork Women's Trip
July 14-18, 2027
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 guides fish nine sections of the Henry’s Fork including the world famous section known as ‘The Ranch’. Whether you like technical dry fly fishing or you are new to the game, there is something for you. We are also close to the Madison River and Hebgen and Quake lakes which generally have 'gulpers' (large trout chasing the Callibaetis hatches) this time of year. So plenty of water to choose from. We’ll match you with like minded anglers and place each pair on water that fits your goals for the trip.
These July dates are the best time to be here with Drakes, Caddis, PMD’s, and Flav’s all in abundance in July. It is a beautiful time, with wildflowers along the river, and Eagles and Osprey making regular appearances. Past river appearances also include Mouse, Deer, Elk and even Bear!
Come ready to fish and we'll take care of the rest! Four nights lodging, all meals, beer/wine with dinner and three days guided fishing. |

Argentina
January 8-15, 2028
Book before year end to hold current pricing!
Your Patagonia fishing trip will begin at the El Encuentro lodge on the banks of the Rio Futaleufu (also referred to as the Rio Grande) situated at the base of the Andes. Anglers will have their choice to float the big waters of the Futaleufu, holding healthy rainbow and brown trout; or they may walk wade private creeks and rivers. Trophy lake fishing is available at multiple lakes near the lodge and this is an experience not to be missed! Their guides know all the various side channels and locations of deep pools that hold fish; they know where to encourage guests to wade fish and how to best reach large browns under hidden banks. The team will make sure you find what you are looking for in an Argentine expe rience.
We will then fish our way on to Brook Trout Base Camp. The newly renovated 'base camp' offers beautiful 'casitas' just steps from the Rio Corcovado river. Each of the 'casitas' or small cabins offers two twin beds or a king, warm showers and private baths and propane heat. The area around Brook Trout Base Camp is home to giant Brookies as well as Rainbows and Browns. There are options for walk wade in the river as well as several area lakes that will tempt you with the opportunity for that large trout experience Patagonia is known for. The camp offers both star-link and star gazing from its remote location.
The El Encuentro lodges has been owned and operated by the Beale family and their bi-lingual team for more than 40 years. We’ll experience Argentine culture with local wines offered daily at lunch and dinner, lamb and beef from local family markets, organic vegetables from their gardens and eggs from their own chickens. We’ll savor the authentic flavors of a traditional ‘Asado’ (Argentine BBQ) on the banks of the lovely Rio Futaleufu and a Tango demonstration and lesson will also be shared one evening after dinner.

Mexico 2027
If you love the salt or have always wanted to expand your flyfishing game into saltwater species, now is your chance!
Ascension Bay offers fantastic opportunities for Permit, Tarpon, Snook, Cuda, Jacks and more. Kay Fly Fishing Lodge (in Punta Allen) sends anglers out with two (awesome) guides per boat each day giving you an extra set of eyes to spot fish, help managing rods, your lines, flies and more if you are new to saltwater.
Recent groups have included a few first permit each week -along with the obligatory first scorpion party. Joan followed her first permit with a Tarpon and Bonefish for her first slam in 2025. Kay Fly is one of those special, down to earth, fishy places you should experience. Great team, the best guides, authentic food and beach front. Breakfast options include eggs, meats, fruit and the traditional Huevos Rancheros. Your lunch includes sandwiches, chips, fruit and plenty of water, sodas or a couple of beers. Local chefs strive to offer seafood or Mexican dinners that will allow you to experience authentic flavors while you are in Mexico.
The Sian Ka’an Biosphere offers the chance to see 325 species of birds, four species of turtles, dolphins, manatee’s and an abundance of other wildlife. New anglers will have plenty of shots to land fish, as many species are plentiful

Blackfoot River, Montana
June 2-6, 2027 Couples/Mixed Trip
June 6-10, 2027 Women's Trip
These are prime Salmon Fly dates! June 1 brought the arrival of Salmon Flies in 2025 and full fish bellies indicated the fish had been eating nymphs on the same schedule when we were there in early June this year. With average flows and average temperatures in mind, we believe these dates will be fantastic!
Fly fishing on the Blackfoot inspired Norman Maclean's acclaimed book: A River Runs Through It. The Blackfoot River and surrounding valley are breathtakingly beautiful; under developed & remote. We'll be based on the North Fork of the Blackfoot and spend four nights 'glamping' and three days fishing with the same guides we enjoyed this year. You will have many opportunities to fish for rainbows, browns, and the beautiful native westslope cutthroats. Fish average around sixteen inches but there are certainly larger fish in the river. There are also a few Bull Trout who have been known to find lunch via the smaller fish that may hit your line. Not an every day occurrence but certainly something to keep you on your toes.

Don't take our word for it, hear it from a recent customer who did just that:
“I knew I wanted to fly fish in Argentina but hadn’t traveled out of the country for 30+ years. I was intimidated to do the trip as I had no idea where to start, but Steph made it so easy for me and my son to take the adventure. She helped us by giving a variety of lodges to consider and pointed out the differences of each one. She connected us with trusted local transportation and a city guide that could answer any and all of our questions as we traveled through Buenos Aires. She was available throughout our travels and offered valuable advice when it came to local customs, international travel, dining, shopping and tipping for the guides and lodging staff. Her attention to detail and ability to answer all my questions allowed me to relax and enjoy the trip. Most importantly, my son and I had the trip of a lifetime. I plan on using Steph exclusively in the future for any fishing trips.” - Hillary D. |
