 Alagnak
River Lodge, Alaska -
To the fisherman this word
conjures up images of mighty rivers flowing down from
snow-capped mountains across desolate tundra, of leaping
salmon and big rainbow trout, and of abundant wildlife
from the mighty brown bear to the majestic eagles
circling overhead. Few places capture this better than
the Alagnak River, located in the heart of southwest
Alaska's Bristol Bay watershed. This region is home to
both the world's largest runs of wild salmon and
Alaska's finest trophy rainbow trout fishery. |

 Cinco Rios, Chile -
In the winter, escape from the Northern Hemisphere and head south to the peaceful depths of Chilean Patagonia. When areas of North America, such as
Montana, are wrapped in a mantle of cold and snow, Chilean Patagonia basks in spring and summer warmth. The word awesome could very well have been created to try to describe this
spot in the depths of the incredible Patagonian Andes. Their peaks, heavily encased in glaciers, protectively surround you like a parent's cape. Jay Burgin, Mary Jacques and
Sebastian Galilea are owners of Cinco Rios Chile and invite you to share in this unique adventure. They and their staff will help you get there and enjoy a worry-free and memorable time abroad.

 Lee's Ferry Anglers, Arizona -
Some People Describe the Colorado River at Lees Ferry as "the world's largest spring creek." In reality, it's a massive, clear running tailwater
fishery running 15.5miles from the outflow of Lake Powell at Glen Canyon Dam to the upper end of the Grand Canyon. Indeed, at times it gives the impression of being not one
or two, but a series of parallel spring creek-like waterways... a short run that sweeps past a large rock; a 500 yard stretch that follows the old river channel; or along
glide where rainbows lurk to take midges. To the uninitiated, fly fishing the Colorado River at Lees Ferry is like casting a needle in a haystack. To your professional guide,
the river is a roadmap. With Rainbow Trout at the end of the line. |

 Red Chaser Charters, New Orleans, Louisiana -

what they do. Therefore, their motto, "See the fish, Catch the fish", is their main objective. It is
mostly visual stalking and making presentations to the fish. This is what makes it so special and
a trip to remember. They sight fish with fly and casting tackle, so their motto is prevalent no
matter how you like to fish! However, if the weather is not cooperating to
sight fish, they can find fish other ways. |
