Hosted Travel

May 17th by Chad Shmukler

Prefer to travel with a group of like-minded anglers? Are you a solo traveler looking to take the trip of a lifetime while avoiding the costly single angler upcharges that can be as high as 75 percent? Want to travel with your significant other on a trip tailor-made for guests with mixed interests? Then one of our 2026 or 2027 hosted trips may be the perfect fit.

From traditional fly fishing travel, to couples travel with non-angler activities (sightseeing, cooking classes, wine tastings, hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, white water rafting and much more), to one of our Namibian safari tours, we have options for almost anyone. 

Browse our hosted travel calendar for roughly the next 12 months and keep reading for more detailed information on each trip.

Namibia Photo Safari

Nov. 3-21, 2026

2 SPOTS AVAILABLE

Namibia is a wildlife photographer's paradise

Namib means ‘vast place’. At times Namibia is a harsh, brutal, and desolate land. The wildlife that calls Namibia home, however, do that amazing evolutionary thing, they adapt. Desert elephants take it in their stride and Namibia is home to the world’s largest population of free roaming cheetahs. This 19-day "Best of Namibia" photo safari takes you from the the Namib Desert south to Luedritz, to the Skeleton Coast, and up through Damaraland to Etosha. You’ll also visit Kolmanskop Ghost Town, Sossusvlei and Dead Pan.

Hosted by 30-year veteran commercial and editorial photographer Earl Harper, just two spots remain on this trip. Contact us ASAP for full details or to book these last two remaining spots. $14,250 per person (double occupancy).

Magic Waters Lodge

Spring Dry Fly Week #1

Nov. 28-Dec. 5, 2026

3 ROOMS AVAILABLE

A beautiful Magic Waters brown trout

Everyone raves about Patagonia in the summer, and for good reason. The weather is more dependable, the fishing is good, and the Andes have shed some of their winter snow. But for some of the best dry-fly fishing of the season, spring in Patagonia is where it's at. Every spring, from early November until about the middle of December, the area around the iconic Magic Waters Lodge boasts dependable mayfly and caddis hatches. And, on area spring creeks, freestone rivers, and on the region's lakes, it's all about dry-fly fishing. The fishery is diverse, the lodge is stunning, and the hospitality and service are absolutely unmatched. There's a reason is the hardest lodge to get into in Patagonia. Here's your chance to visit during a sneaky-good week and experience the dry-fly fishing for yourself. Join renowned Earl Harper on this trip to the most iconic lodge in Patagonia. Nov. 28-Dec. 5, 2026. $8,000 per guest, double occupancy.

Head here to send us an inquiry or learn more about this trip or give us a call at +1-(253)-780-1530.

Please note: this is week one of a two-week trip to sister lodges Magic Waters Lodge and Patagonia Baker Lodge. Anglers are welcome to choose one week or both. See below for details about week two.

Patagonia

Magic Waters Lodge

Trout anglers are ponderous—we’ve heard the stories about the “good old days,” when our home waters were still secret fishing spots and when fabled rivers like the Madison or the Roaring Fork were still “frontier” fisheries. Today, as we count the drift boats on the Green or the cars in the parking lot at Last Chance on the Henry’s Fork, it’s hard to imagine how things must have been “back then.”

Patagonia Baker Lodge

Spring Dry Fly Week #2

Dec. 5-12, 2026

4 ROOMS AVAILABLE

An unforgettable trophy brown trout

As noted above, spring is for dry fly anglers in Patagonia, and the stunning Patagonia Baker Lodge, dubbed "the most beautiful lodge in Patagonia" by many of our returning guests, is a great place to cast high-floating dries to rising trout. Not only is the Rio Baker in its spring prime, before it gets a push of glacial meltwater, but the Rio Cochrane is in ideal shape for sight-casting to absolutely massive browns and rainbows. Throw in the chance to catch the prettiest rainbows on the planet in Lago Brown that cruise the edges and hammer big dry flies in the spring, and this week at Baker can be very special. Join our own Earl Harper, a renowned outdoor and fly fishing photographer, and experience some of the best fishing Patagonia has to offer. Dec. 5-12, 2026. $8,000 per guest, double occupancy.

Head here to send us an inquiry or learn more about this trip or give us a call at +1-(253)-780-1530.

Patagonia

Patagonia Baker Lodge

The mighty Rio Baker is perhaps Chile’s most iconic and beautiful river. Well-known to fly fishers, kayakers and rafters which have floated its glacially-tinged waters for decades, the Baker received worldwide recognition in 2014 when an enormous civic action campaign saved the river from a massive dam and hydroelectric power project that would have destroyed the river’s raw, wild nature and untarnished ecosystem. Thanks to that campaign, today the Baker still flows free and wild.

El Ultimo Puesto

Multiple Hosted Weeks

Dec. 2026 - Feb. 2027

2 RODS AVAILABLE

Casting to risers under the case of Torres del Paine

What do you do when hosting trips to a small, exclusive lodge that only caters to 4 anglers a week, eliminating the possibility of welcoming a large group? You host lots of them. This coming season, between December 2026 and February 2027, five different hosted trips are on offer at Patagonia's newest destination — El Ultimo Puesto.

Featuring 35 miles of exclusive spring creek and small-to-mid-size freestone river fishing, set amongst some of the most beautiful landscapes in all of Patagonia, El Ultimo Puesto is pulled straight from the daydreams of dry fly-obsessed anglers.

Patagonia's walk-and-wade paradise

Torres del Paine

El Ultimo Puesto

In recent years, the remote Torres del Paine region of Chile has become synonymous with adventure, breathtaking landscapes, and authentic Patagonian culture. Though each season this far southern region welcomes a rapidly growing number of travelers and adventure-seekers, it has remained almost entirely off the radar for anglers, despite its claim to some of the best dry-fly fishing in all of Patagonia.

River of Dreams Basecamp

Feb. 20-27, 2027

SOLD OUT

A beautiful brown trout from River of Dreams Basecamp in Chilean Patagonia

The middle section of Chile’s Rio Blanco is some of the most untouched water in all of Patagonia. Waterfalls, class V rapids, and impassable canyon water prevent up or downriver access, leaving the roughly 30-mile middle reaches of the river as the sole domain of the River of Dreams Basecamp.For only a few months a year, that enormous stretch of emerald blue-green river is fished by no more than six anglers per week, who chase oversized brown and rainbow trout in the Blanco’s wild waters.For streamer fishing junkies, anglers who like rising trophy trout on terrestrials and attractor dry flies, and big fish chasers, basecamp might just be heaven on earth.

This trip is sold out. To join our 2027 basecamp hosted trip waiting list, or to inquire about a non-hosted visit during a different week in 2026-2027, drop us a line. We'll be happy to help.

Patagonia

The River of Dreams Basecamp

The middle section of Rio Blanco is some of the most untouched water in all of Patagonia. The lower reaches of the Blanco, near its confluence with Rio Aysén and mere miles from where the river dumps into the Pacific Ocean, can be reached via both an unimproved dirt road and by upstream jetboat—until powerful waterfalls and class IV rapids block your way. And, the first few miles downstream of the river's origin can be accessed by portaging across a massive lake and hiking downriver before an impassible canyon halts your progress.

Endless views are a hallmark of the Rio Baker region

One of the best assets of Patagonia Baker Lodge is that it's more than just a fishing lodge. Perched on the shores of the impossibly turquoise Baker River, the lodge offers some stellar non-angling adventures that include daily cooking classes from a Chilean chef, hiking or driving tours of Patagonia National Park, kayaking or boat tours of the stunning Marble Caves, horseback riding, and scenic boat tours on area lakes. While the die-hard anglers are plying the Rio Baker or other local waters for trophy browns and rainbows, non-anglers can enjoy a truly wonderful week in the wilds of Patagonia. Our first week his hosted by longtime fly-fishing writer Chris Hunt and his wife Toni; our second week at Baker is hosted by the editor of TROUT Magazine, Kirk Deeter, who recently penned the book, "A Fishable Feast." You can Kirk and his wife Sara will have any eye on the cooking classes! Feb. 27-March 6, 2027; March 6-13, 2027. $8,500 per guest, double occupancy.

Head here to send us an inquiry or learn more about these trips or give us a call at +1-(253)-780-1530.

Magic Waters Lodge, a perennial guest favorite, also offers guests far more than just fishing. From its peaceful site on the edge a stunning Patagonia laguna, guests can, indeed, experience some world-class fly fishing from this incredible lodge. But for non-anglers, the lodge really shines. For the second year in a row, we're offering a Couples' Week itinerary at the lodge, and we're featuring a host of activities for those who might not want to fish every day—or for those who might not want to fish at all. Take cooking classes from a Chilean chef. Take a horseback trail ride through the Andes. Go for an exhilarating hike, or take a leisurely nature walk. Spend a day shopping in beautiful Coyhaique, or take a scenic boat ride and look for waterfalls. This is a well-rounded experience for anglers and their non-angling partners — come and experience it for yourselves. Join award-winning outdoor writer Chris Hunt and his wife Toni for this incredible experience. March 6-13, 2027. $8,500 per guest double occupancy.

Bay Flats Lodge

June 1-8, 2027

7 spots available

A nice Texas redfish from San Antonio Bay

One of our newest destinations is also one of our most exciting. Texas redfish are fantastic targets on the endless expanses of San Antonio Bay and the mangrove cuts of Matagoroda Island. But this trip also features the chance to go "outside" the bay and chase massive jack crevalle in the mornings, before the coastal wind picks up, and then head back into the flat water for the afternoon session to look for cruising reds on the flats. These fish are aggressive and plentiful, and they will chase flies on top. And, from the gorgeous home base of Bay Flats Lodge, where Texas hospitality is taken very seriously, we're in for a real treat. You'll stay in a gorgeous coastal home and enjoy wonderful, chef-prepared meals, all while having the run of this spacious lodge just steps from the water. Join renowned outdoor writer Chris Hunt on this fantastic adventure. June 1-8, 2027. $5,911 per guest, two to a room, shared guide.

Seadrift

Bay Flats Lodge

Tucked away in sleepy Sea Drift, Texas, Bay Flats Lodge overlooks the emerald waters of San Antonio Bay, one of the Gulf Coast’s most prolific fisheries for hard-fighting redfish, as well as speckled trout, black drum, and wily sheepshead. This wonderfully comfortable lodge offers luxurious accommodations, hearty, home-cooked meals, and that patented “Texas hospitality” you won’t find anywhere else.

Long Valley Lodge

6 spots available

Yet another breathtaking, native Blanda River brown trout

We just returned from our 2026 hosted trip to the Blanda River system and Long Valley Lodge — a week that featured excellent Atlantic salmon fishing and the river's characteristically productive wild brown trout fishing (even if the Arctic char fishing was a bit slower than usual). Add in the lodge's first-rate guides, excellent hospitality and a great group of easygoing, fun-loving anglers and it's easy to call the entire endeavor a big success. So, for the third year in a row, we'll be returning to Long Valley Lodge in mid-late July — absolute prime time for the both the river's Atlantic salmon run and its trout and Arctic char fishing.  July 20-25, 2027. $9,040 per angler, double occupancy (2.5 days Atlantic salmon fishing, 2.5 days trout/char fishing).

Iceland's biggest river

Blönduós

Long Valley Lodge

The Blanda River, in northwestern Iceland, differs starkly from most of its Icelandic counterparts. Most rivers on the island nation flow through relatively sterile landscapes on often short, punctuated runs. By contrast, the Blanda is one of the longest rivers in the country, flowing for over 75 miles from its origin at the Hofsjökull glacier to where it meets the North Atlantic Ocean at Húnaflói Bay near the town of Blönduós.

Dalton Trail Lodge

Aug. 25-Sept. 1, 2027

2 RODS AVAILABLE

This will be our fourth straight year hosting anglers at the wonderful Dalton Trail Lodge in the southern Yukon. We keep coming back year after year for two reasons. First, our clients love the experience, and the team at Dalton Trail Lodge is absolutely wonderful. From clean and comfortable single-occupancy rooms with private bathrooms to a meal program that's among the best in the business, Dalton Trail Lodge understands that comfortable guests are happy guests. While there are variables they can't control, like the weather or the mood of the pike in Dezadeash Lake, they can and do work their tails off to put smiles on the faces of everyone who walks through the doors of the stunning wilderness lodge. 

Second, the fishing from Dalton Trail Lodge is diverse and world-class. From trophy pike and lake trout to tail-walking rainbows and elegant Arctic grayling, the fishing rarely disappoints. And, with so much at the lodge's doorstep, anglers can fish a new stretch of water every single day (and they'd still be a lifetime away from seeing it all). 

So, make your plans today. We have just two open spots for our only scheduled 2027 trip to the Yukon, and we'd love it if you joined us. Judging by demand, we may actually add a second hosted week at the lodge in 2027, so stay tuned. We'll be there for the pike resurrection, when they become very aggressive as the days get shorter in late August. And, of course, we'll be there for the beginning of the annual lake trout migration, where the region's native char actually move into the rivers and streams of the region on their annual spawning run. 

Why wait? Join us and we'll get you all set up with the right package to meet your needs. While a fully guided week for 2027 is $5,955, we can mix it up a bit, particularly if you're a DIY angler who likes to explore on your own. Drop us a line, and we'll get you booked on our 2027 adventure!

Yukon Territory

Dalton Trail Lodge

For more than 30 years, Hardy Ruf has welcomed guests to his remote lodge on the shores of Dezadeash Lake. A Swiss ex-pat, Ruf spent years looking for the perfect place to launch his fishing and adventure lodge, and when he came to the Yukon, there was no doubt — this was it. The lodge complex is homey and comfortable with a touch of rustic, and guests can fish literally right out the back door, either on the lake or on a couple of streams on the property that are home to wonderfully accommodating Arctic grayling.

Krka River Lodge

Slovenia Couples' Week

Sep. 1-7, 2027

5 ROOMS AVAILABLE

Paddleboarders on Lake Bled

Our couples' weeks in Patagonia have been so successful that we've decided to expand the offering to other destinations. First stop: Slovenia. In truth, out of all of the destinations in our catalog, there may be none that offers more to both anglers and non-anglers. For fly fishers, Slovenia offers excellent angling opportunities for brown trout and European grayling in their native range, is one of the few places on the planet where anglers can pursue marble trout, and also offers excellent fishing for rainbow trout and pike. Slovenia’s non-angling offerings are just as rich and diverse as its angling opportunities — and just as accessible. Popular tourist attractions like Lake Bled, the Postojna and other world-famous cave systems; outdoor recreation opportunities such as hiking, rafting, mountain biking, canyoneering and more; and the country’s cosmopolitan capital of Ljubljana, castles and historic sites, award-winning wineries, Michelin-starred restaurants offer a seemingly endless list of non-angling activities. And the list goes on.

The program at Krka River Lodge was built from the ground up to specialize in both angling and non-angling activities. The team at the lodge excels at providing seamless mixed-itineraries for couples, families, and other groups with diverging interests, making it an ideal location for our newest couples' week.

If you'd like to join us for this first ever Slovenia couples' week, visit the Krka River Lodge page to send us an inquiry or give us a ring at +1-(253)-780-1530.

European angling, history, culture, and more

Krka

Krka River Lodge

Often referred to as one of Europe’s best-kept secrets, Slovenia is full of surprises. Whether its world-class hiking, kayaking, rafting, caving, mountain biking and fly fishing; its Michelin-starred restaurants and stunning winemaking that rivals its neighbors in Italy, Germany, and France; its historic castles, cosmopolitan cities, and seaside resorts; or its breathtaking Julian Alps, Slovenia has something to offer everyone.
