Interested in fly fishing for bonefish in Belize, or permit in Ascension Bay, or some other exotic species and or location? Who isn’t? The staff at The Idaho Angler has a great deal of experience in exotic fishing travel, and we can help you experience it.

In fact, we love to talk about it, so if you are interested, give us a call.

We help Idaho Angler clients travel in two ways:

First, we have relationships with a number of lodges, and we can book your trip to those lodges, and otherwise assist you with your trip.

Second, The Idaho Angler, each year, conducts a few “hosted” group trips. On a “hosted trip,” one of the Idaho Angler principals or staff organizes and leads the trip, to include six to twelve (depending on the trip) Idaho Angler clients on the trip. In addition to the fun of traveling to fish an exotic location for exotic species with a group of fly fishers, the Hosted Trip offers the advantage of having an experienced Idaho Angler staff member leading the trip available to assist you in preparation for the trip and with tackle and fishing questions during the trip.

Following are some of the travel destinations we recommend and book. Contact us for more information.

Located at the south edge of Ascension Bay, Yucatan, Mexico, on a small island, far away from the tourist trails, this is a premier saltwater destination. Plentiful bonefish, and one of the best permit locations in the world. Tarpon and snook are also available. This is an American owned, classy, comfortable lodge.

On an island off the coast of Belize. Also American owned and operated, with a very comfortable classy lodge. Relatively easy to catch and plentiful bonefish, a great permit fishery, and tarpon too.

Classic, famous bonefish location with miles of easily wadable flats, but increasingly popular for its giant trevally fishing. Consistent year round weather and fishing. New smaller lodge with excellent guides. This is a good trip for the first time saltwater angler or the experienced angler.

This is a captivating island lodge miles off the coast of Venezuela. Miles of classic bonefish wading flats in an incredibly beautiful setting. Los Roques is a classic atoll. Large (4 to 6 pound) bonefish are common, and much larger fish (the lodge record is 13 pounds) are around. Prime time: March – October.

On the Agua Boa River, a clear water tributary to the Amazon River, this is a truly classy fishing operation. Peacock bass fishing in clear water, with plenty of large fish. An incredible jungle with wildlife all around you. You’ll never forget the howler monkeys (or the explosive fights of the bass).

Flyrodding for sailfish is a real rush, as the fish is teased to within casting distance and you shoot the huge fly to the excited fish. Quepos, Costa Rica is a truly charming spot, and the sailfishing out of Quepos is extraordinary. Also a great location for new fishing companies.

One of the finest steelhead locations anywhere, with great runs of huge fish, classic fly water, and great guides. Fishing on more than 80 miles of river with pristine canyon overnight stays. Spey rods, skating, flies, and BIG steelhead. We love this place.

We can book a number of lodges for rainbows and/or salmon. Tell us what you’re interested in, and we’ll make some recommendations. Alaska lodges come in all shapes and sizes, some excellent, some pretty bad. We only work with quality lodges that cater to fly fishermen.
