Our Signature Destinations are a cross section of the planet’s finest fly fishing lodges, outfitters, and camps.

They’re an honor roll of great fishing spots, and the culmination of more than three decades of field exploration, experience, and hands-on involvement by the #1 team of fly fishing consultants in the business.

Each ‘Signature Destination’ carries the unqualified endorsement of The Fly Shop™. It’s our promise of commitment to total guest satisfaction, and our iron-clad guarantee that the quality of accommodations, experience and angling is exactly as advertised.Signature Destinations are represented exclusively by The Fly Shop™ and our network of fly angling travel agencies and fine fly shops worldwide.

From the remote, hard-core, Kamchatka bush camps to our luxurious Tierra del Fuego sea trout lodges, these world-class fly fishing experiences share common threads that extend beyond great angling.

They’re not blind endorsements purchased with a checkbook. The Fly Shop’s Signature Destinations are a stamp of approval earned only after they’ve met the highest performance standards in the industry. Ours!

We’ve been there.

Over the last thirty years, our travel staff has hosted anglers on expeditions all over the world and our retail team has outfitted tens of thousands of travelling fly fishermen.

We know the rods, reels, lines, leaders, and flies that you’ll need on these trips. We’re thoroughly familiar with the hotels, the airlines, the very best connections, and all the en route intricacies of each of our lodges and camps because we’ve been to all of them a dozen times!

Our staff, in this past year alone, visited 49 different destinations. We’ve logged over half a million air miles and we are still chompin’ at the bit to get out and discover the next great angling location. Intrepid, tenacious and the vanguard of travel.

The Fly Shop’s travel team has our finger on the pulse that measures the sport, and more than 150 years of collective international fishing travel under our belt.

Estancia Maria Behety - Tierra del Fuego
Everything about the Estancia Maria Behety Lodge revolves around the Menendez Family’s personal guarantee and total commitment to offering the finest fly fishing experience in the Americas.

La Villa de Estancia Maria Behety - Tierra del Fuego
Few angling destinations on earth compare with the sea-run fishing on the Rio Grande, and La Villa de Estancia Maria Behety is the most deluxe lodge in Tierra del Fuego.

El Saltamontes - Chile
Nineteen years ago, The Fly Shop discovered El Saltamontes on the Gorrono Ranch in the Patagonia Region of Southern Chile. The home river, Rio Ñireguao, has proven to be one of the finest hopper-fishing brown trout streams we’ve ever experienced, with amazing numbers of surface-oriented fish.

Patagonia BaseCamp - Chile
One of Patagonia’s most diverse fly fishing programs for wild trout is Patagonian BaseCamp, on the banks of the remote Rio Palena, owned and operated by Marcel and Carolina Sijnesael. Marcel traveled the world for several years before settling in this hidden corner of Patagonia, choosing to build his dream lodge in an area as wild as it is beautiful.
Patagonia Drifters - Chile
There are both Rainbows and Browns from modest to trophy proportions in this incredibly diverse area, and none of the regional fly fishing guides are more knowledgeable or more successful than outfitter, Monte Becker, of "Patagonia Drifters - Granite Canyon Lodge."
La Posada de los Farios - Chile
La Posada de los Farios ["The Inn of the Brown Trout"] is a comfortable and intimate lodge, accommodating a maximum of six guests in a part of the world that time seems to have forgotten.
Hoodoo Sportfishing - Alaska
Whether you are swinging big streamers for kings on the lower river, popping Pink Pollywogs across the surface for hyper-aggressive mid-river silvers, drifting big leeches for upper river steelhead, or hammering crazy numbers of sea-run dolly varden on egg patterns, the fish are always fresh, and grabby.
Nushagak Wilderness Camps - Alaska
The “Nush” is a fish bum’s dream come true. Rise as early or late as you please ‘cause there’s no competition to race to the pool. Fish hard all day on 100 miles of accessible river, come back to camp and recharge with a hearty meal and a few fish stories.
Kamchatka Russia
Only since the disintegration of the Soviet Union have we begun to understand that what lies behind its jagged North Pacific coastline - the most abundant and biologically diverse population of wild rainbow trout, salmon, and char that has ever existed on Earth.
Paradise Lodge - Mexican Yucatan
Paradise Lodge is aptly named. What was at first hailed as the lodge most consistently productive for tarpon and snook now includes outstanding bonefishing in the most scenic and remote flats of the Mexican Yucatan.

Blue Horizon Lodge - Belize
If there is one ideal place on earth to put a lodge that specializes in fly fishing for Permit, it would be exactly where Blue Horizon Lodge sits.
