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

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.

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.
