Amazon Basin:

 
Thaimacu is ideally located where thousands of plant and animal species meet. There are over 15 species you can catch on a fly rod here.  Many have teeth,  many attack flies,  many fight and jump with the best.  Most people come because of the peacock bass but not everyone leaves with the same fish at the top pf their list.
River Plate is the most convenient and efficient operation in the Amazon Basin.  A float plane delivers you  directly to the portable floating cabins or the Backwater explorer live-aboard ship.  There is no wasted time getting to the fishing spots each day,  the cabins move daily to the next un-fished area,  the Backwater Explorer moves nightly - No long boat rides to get to the lodge or to the fishing once you are at the lodge.

Northern Patagonia We have combined forces with a group of fly fishing guides in Argentina that love to fish they way I do in Alaska - hard and all day long.  Together we offer several unique ways to fly fish Patagonia: Multi day float trips; Lodge based trips; Trips that combine a multi day float trips with some overnights in lodges and week long floats similar to our Alaska Float Trips.
Dorado Lodge Dorado are an aggressive hard fighting fish found in the waters of northern Argentina.  If you like peacock bass you will love the Dorado,  with more fight, more jumps and gusto per pound than any warm water fish I have seen.  They lie some where between a bluefish and a barracuda but in fresh water!
Tierra del Fuego's Kautapen Lodge has more history than any other lodge in Tierra del Fuego.  No where else will you find this unique blend of luxury, tradition and fishing quality.  Twenty years of catering to fly fishing enthusiasts gives the lodge its distinguished heritage and the reputation as the premier destination in Tierra del Fuego.
Toonken is one of the premier lodges for sea run brown trout.  Established in 1997, Toonken enjoys some of the most productive pools on the upper river. The newly designed lodge has been re-located on a high bluff overlooking the river. On the upper section which holds the most fish you will find the river a reasonable size that belies the huge fish  holding in the pools.

 

Chile:

 
Yan Kee Way is our flagship five-star resort is carefully disguised as a luxurious fishing lodge. It is located just one hour’s drive north and east of Puerto Montt, on the shore of Lago Llanquihue (Yan Kee Way), near the small town of Ensenada. YAN KEE WAY is a complement of buildings nestled within a small 12 acre forest at lake’s edge, in the shadow of Volcano Osorno. This is the perfect place for groups, families and couples to come and relax, enjoy great fishing and/or indulge in a variety of outdoor activities.
Much more remote, El Patagon is located on over 3,000 acres of our private forest land. The lodge grounds approximate almost 5 square miles, including over a mile of lakefront on Lago Rosselot, over 3.5 miles of frontage on the Rio Figueroa and its own spring creek. The location is designed to cater to the die-hard angler.
The best thing about the Paloma River Lodge is how small it is.  Only 4 rods per week are catered to.   Let that sink in - only 4 fishermen per week. The entire interior of the house, all 1980 sq. feet, has been gutted and reconstructed with 4 very spacious bedrooms with private baths and queen size beds for the clients.    You get a private room  and share a guide.
Cinco Rios Lodge fishing is all within 45 minutes of the lodge. Many of the streams have seldom, if ever, been fished; some have been discovered only recently. The streams offer diverse fishing; incredible, exciting dry fly action; and, challenging sight fishing in pristine, clean waters. Some brown trout, only accessible by our jet boats because of limited roads, have never seen a dry fly. Large fish abound with many Browns over 18 inches.  Most fish are 15-18 inches but we land some 8 -10 pound browns and rainbows. every season.
Estancia el Zorro is a private ranch on the Argentine border, your guide will help you fly fish for brown trout on two rivers and on a 15 mile spring creek with browns up to an astonishing 12 pounds, all within the Estancia's private 15,000 acre private reserve.

 

New Zealand

 

Owen River Lodge is owned and managed  by Felix Bornstein of Australia. It became obvious to him that the Murchison / Nelson Lakes region has the best brown trout fishery in the world. Never mind visiting, he developed a contemporary styled fly fishing lodge there. It was his dream to create a lodge that offers a relaxed, highly professional, understated service, in stylish surrounds serving wonderful food to traveling anglers and non anglers alike.

Russia:  
fly fishing kamchatka There is only one reason to fish in Kamchatka and that is: fly fishing for very large rainbow trout that eat dry flies all season long! The salmon fishing is also great but the jewels of the fishery are the rainbow trout, throw in trophy char and a new species - Khundza, and you realize a week long fly fishing trip to Kamchatka is way too short.
