Brook Trout Trip with Polar Bears
Drop into the Wild
The Turbo Otter took off from the remote drop off lake as we loaded the canoes for the 9 day float trip bearing toward the Hudson Bay. Albert, a native man and his family reside at the tiny outpost through the summer months, kindly gives us a tow 10 kilometers across the stillwater lake and drops us off at the headwaters to begin our 75 mile river journey. Albert's word of caution is "Don't run! The one who runs is the one to be attacked." This area is the furthest southern artic air reach and is a summer home for polar bears.Where are the Polar Bears!

Fly Water Travel Hosted Trip - Akuani River Lodge - Colombia
Akuani River Lodge is the latest offering from our outfitting friends and partners at Colombia Afloat. What sets this program apart from their other operations is the opportunity to fish for trophy peacock bass and trophy payara (sometimes referred to as vampire fish) in the same trip. While most of the time will be spent fishing multiple large beats of the Vichada River for peacock bass, guests will also experience a rustic overnight at the Orinoco River’s massive Maipures rapids. Here anglers will cast heavy lines into heavy water from bedrock stations in search of large, ultra-hard striking payara which are widely considered one of the most coveted and hardest-earned jungle species on a fly. In addition to visiting the unique semi-arid jungle of eastern Colombia, guests will also get to interface with the native people that call this wild and seldom-visited region home.

Fly Water Travel Hosted Travel - Las Buitreras Lodge - Argentina

For many a seasoned rod, this lovely, low-gradient system and the charming Las Buitreras Lodge that serves it represent the pinnacle sea trout experience. The beauty of the Gallegos watershed is otherworldly, and it’s likely for guests to find themselves fishing alongside silver foxes, guanacos, rheas, flamingos, and wild horses. Fishing for the mighty sea-run browns of the Rio Gallegos can be very challenging, and as a result, incredibly rewarding. Here, with highly skilled guides, the warm charm of the Argentinean culture and the extreme beauty of this pristine and unpressured system, guests find themselves having the trip of a lifetime year after year.

Hosted Travel - Nubian Flats - One spot remaining
In May 2013, the diverse and rugged coastline of the Red Sea was first explored with a fly rod by our friends at African Waters. What they found, and have continued to experience since then, is a rich ecosystem full of exotic species including incredible numbers of triggerfish, giant trevally, bluefin trevally, as well as the occasional bonefish and permit. Even more unique, all of these species are targeted on foot while wading the flats. Guests enjoy comfortable accommodations aboard a mothership and will fish with English speaking South African guides during their stay. Despite its reputation, Sudan is a safe and inviting place to travel and has been the center of an exploding diving industry for years. African Waters assists with all of the travel planning and ensures that your trip is safe, smooth, and truly unforgettable. Join Fly Water Travel's Andy Archer for this unique opportunity to experience a two week adventure to waters that seldom see flies!

Availability Across the Seychelles with Fly Water Travel
The 23rd November is a full moon, so the Spring Tide will ensure some fast and furious action in areas that aren’t usually accessible on the neap tides! This includes the top section of the lagoon where one can target Permit, GT’s and big Bonefish as well as the Eastern side of the lagoon mouth which would only be accessible on the medium to high tide on the spring cycle.
The full moon on the 21st January will ensure quicker water movements and along with that, excellent opportunities at GT’s and Milkfish with large Bonefish making their appearance known as well. Come and experience the innovative and groundbreaking Cosmoledo Eco-Camp which has been set up for the season, and be part of the team that is pioneering a new form of luxury eco-tourism in the outer islands of Seychelles.
Alphonse Island and St. François Atoll always offer a fantastic fishing experience! With miles and miles of dazzling white and easily wadeable flats, you will have an amazing time targeting various species such as tricky Triggers, the golden-finned Permit, finicky Milkies, the bullish GT’s – all in one of the most prolific Bonefish fisheries in the world.
Providence Atoll is just short of being the most southerly atoll in the Seychelles and contains two major land masses, namely Providence North and Cerf Island. This remarkable atoll has remained largely untouched, with fewer than a thousand people having visited this tropical wilderness in the last century. The sheer size and amount of fish holding area makes both the flats and offshore angling potential almost limitless. It is a true fly fishing wilderness! Providence offers fly fishermen the opportunity to wade and sight fish a possible 46 kilometers of pristine sand and Turtle grass flats, an enormous lagoon system as well the numerous channels which link these structures with the Indian Ocean. Anglers can expect to target record size Giant Trevally, Bonefish, Triggerfish, Indo Pacific Permit, Milkfish as well as Bumphead Parrotfish. Due to its size and diversity fly castaway will be placing five of their extremely talented and experienced guides on this remarkable atoll, together with five tender boats to be used exclusively on Providence. These tenders will surely improve both flats accessibility and help maximize the fantastic offshore fishery Providence is blessed to have!

Long known to only the inner circle of adventuresome saltwater anglers, Farquhar was one of the earliest outer islands to be discovered. Its reasonable size, varied flats, coral-strewn lagoon and prolific blue water fishery make it one of the world’s best multispecies destinations. In the past it was only accessed by mothership but today anglers enjoy a new lodge that makes it the perfect island fish camp and one of the best values in the Seychelles. The new lodge has been extremely well received by every guest thus far. On top of this, the number of meter plus GT’s landed on Farquhar is on par with any other destination you can think of and with it’s incredible diversity, it remains the true jewel of the Seychelles!

Deep within the Indian Ocean, due east of Madagascar and 300 miles northeast of the island of Mauritius, lies an obscure and seldom visited atoll that may be the greatest bonefishing destination in the world. Scouted and eventually made accessible to fly anglers by the veteran South African saltwater outfitters at Fly Castaway, St. Brandon’s atoll is a wade fisherman’s paradise blessed with enormous hard sand flats and staggering numbers of huge bonefish. In addition to the incomparable bonefish resource, anglers will also encounter good numbers of Indo-Pacific permit, bluefin, golden, yellow dot and green spot and giant trevally.
