I have never been able to afford to hire a guide to go on a fishing trip. I’ve had to rely on myself to find those “special” fishing spots. If you lucky enough to afford a guide, they will do most of the work for you. Some guide services include: meals, boats, equipment, lessons, lodging and travel arrangements. Just depends on how much you want to spend.

One of my main goals with this blog, is to share some of those special fishing spots that we have found over the years. I am sure, there are lots of folks in the same “boat” as I am. Hopefully, you’ll find this useful!

For most of us, fly fishing is just an excuse to get to some of the most beautiful and serene places on earth. Find some time to unwind, de-stress and enjoy nature. Catching some trout…an added bonus.
