"By my criteria, any fishing lodge that aspires to superlative status must, of course, have excellent fishing, i.e., demanding angling for an interesting variety of big fish. It must also offer superior creature comforts, emollients both for the body and the mind for that preponderance of time when you are off the water. Moreover, the place should have a breath of effortlessly understated elegance, and the days spent there must have symmetry, excitement, and spiritual comfort to them..."
- Charles Gaines
The Next Valley Over
Wow! Would the world of angling be even more of a spectacular playground if every fly fishing lodge delivered on the criteria advocated so eloquently by tenured angling traveler and writer Charles Gaines. The good news is there are lodges out there that meet and even exceed those standards, but unfortunately there are many that fall well beneath. How can you make an informed and correct decision on where to go if you’ve never been there before? That’s where we come in.
At Wild On The Fly we’re journalists first, travel promoters second. As the foremost magazine dedicated to fly fishing travel, we’ve been reporting on international destinations for nearly a decade. Our first-hand knowledge of specific fisheries, local lodges, outfitters and guides is current, correct and comprehensive. And the best part is that we’re presenting it all to you for free in the pages of our World Travel Planner!
It’s easy. If you know where you want to go, or you’ve heard of a specific lodge you want to check out, select it from the dropdown menu under Lodge in the black World Travel Planner bar above. Leave the other fields unselected and click on Submit. You’ll be immediately routed to a detail information page about that specific lodge, complete with an in-depth description, slideshow, video, maps, current conditions, testimonials, custom packing list, and many other great travel resources.
If you’re not sure where to go and you want to search for the best destination that fits your requirements, leave the Lodge field unselected and make choices from the dropdown menus in the other fields. These include geographic location, species of fish you’re after, time of year you want to travel, and how much you want to spend (presented as cost ranges for a week of fishing/lodging). Then click on Submit. You’ll be instantly presented with a selection of brief overviews on one or more lodges that match your search criteria. Select the ones that strike your fancy and you’ll be routed to their detailed information pages.
Every lodge or outfitter in our comprehensive database represents what we consider to be the highest quality fly fishing experience in each of the greatest fisheries on earth. Rest assured that these are the best of the best.
Once you’ve found your dream destination give us a call at 866-723-7776 or e-mail us at travel@wildonthefly.com. We’ll answer any questions you might have, provide you with additional information, and, when you’re ready, act as your personal agent in securing your booking with the lodge.
Remember, whenever you book a fly fishing adventure through Wild On The Fly you will never pay more than the lowest possible price for the dates you request. YOU CANNOT BOOK A TRIP CHEAPER ON YOUR OWN OR THROUGH ANOTHER TRAVEL AGENT – GUARANTEED! In fact, with Wild On The Fly you will only profit from the association as we become your advocate for a successful adventure.
We personally know the management, guides, lodge infrastructure, and fishing program at all the destinations we represent because we’ve fished them ourselves, many times. And we very often have already reserved premium dates (available to no one else) based on our knowledge of the fishery.
