Some destinations stay with you long after the trip ends. These are the places I know, trust, and recommend for anglers looking for something truly special.
Recommended Fly Fishing Destinations
Looking for the right fly fishing destination, but not necessarily a hosted group trip?
This page features trusted fly fishing destinations I personally recommend based on my own travel, fishing experience, outfitter relationships, and knowledge of the overall trip experience. These are options for anglers who want to fish a specific location on their own schedule, with help connecting to the right lodge, outfitter, or travel opportunity.
Some anglers want to travel with me on a set hosted trip. Others simply want guidance toward a destination that fits their goals, species, timing, budget, and sense of adventure. That’s what this page is designed for.
Explore the recommended destinations below, then contact me before booking so I can help point you in the right direction.
How this works
These are not random destination listings. Each location featured here is a place I either have direct experience with, have personally fished, or have a trusted connection to through outfitters and lodges.
If a destination catches your interest, reach out to me first. I can help answer initial questions, share what I know from experience, and connect you with the appropriate outfitter or booking contact.
This allows you to explore a trip that fits your schedule while still benefiting from a trusted recommendation through Trout & Feather.
