It's not too late to travel in 2023!
April 5th by Chris Hunt
Dying to get out and experience someplace new in 2023, but worried that the savvy adventure traveler has already seized the best time slots at the best lodges? It’s a legit fear — it’s always best to plan fly-fishing and adventure travel a year or more out.
But don’t fret. It’s not too late to make your 2023 travel plans. We have some ideas for you, ranging from the tarpon creeks and bonefish flats of Belize to the wilds of Alaska and the heart of the Yukon’s Klondike to the world’s first taimen sanctuary in Mongolia and a new addition to our amazing Iceland program! Read on — these opportunities won’t last!
Giant taimen await anglers in late September.
Mongolia is back!
Spend a week chasing giant taimen with Mongolia River Outfitters
We’re headed to Mongolia this fall to chase giant taimen, and we’d love to have you join us! Our hosted trip is Sept. 25-Oct. 6, and consists of eight nights and seven full days on the river, fishing through a very beautiful and remote stretch of the Mongolia Taimen Sanctuary, the first such sanctuary of its kind. We’ll also cast for Amur trout, lenok, grayling and Amur pike. We'll spend some time in Ulan Bator at the beginning and the end of the trip. There is a limit of six anglers on each adventure and no more than 30 guests will fish this stretch of river the whole year. There are still four spots available on our hosted trip but if that time frame does not work for you and you still want to go, send us a note. There are a few scattered spots available that we might be able to get you in on
Available dates:
Sept. 25-Oct. 6 (this is our hosted trip — there may be more spots available, so just send us an inquiry below)
Rates (double occupancy):
8 nights, 7 days $6,950
Be in the southern Yukon for the lake trout migration.
Dalton Trail Lodge in the heart of the Klondike
The annual southern Yukon lake trout migration
Every year, starting in late August and continuing through October, the giant lake trout of the southern Yukon begin their annual migration into the rivers and the streams in the region. Big lakers up to 40 pounds migrate like salmon, and they’re voracious eaters as they prepare for their annual spawning run. You can be there to meet them this year! Come to Dalton Trail Lodge in the heart of the Klondike to experience this amazing migration of giant char as they move out of the lakes and into tributary rivers and streams. Sight-cast to these giant behemoths with conventional fly gear — no need to dredge or go deep. It’s a uniquely Yukon experience — and it's ideal for the solo angler who doesn't want to pay more for single occupancy!
Available dates: 4-, 5-, 6- or 7-night stays between Sept. 9-24.
Rates (single or double occupancy):
4-night package US 2,340
5-night package US 2,790
6-night package US 3,240
7-night package US 3,690
7-night fully-guided US 5,575
Icelandic sea trout in September!
Iceland's Battle Hill lodge
Join us on a hosted trip to fish four rivers for fresh-from-the-Atlantic sea trout
We're hosting a group to the stunning Battle Hill Lodge in Iceland to fish four different rivers for incoming sea-run brown trout — including one river that has never been opened to fishing by outside anglers — in September, and we'd love to have you join us. Battle Hill is an amazing destination, and the rivers are postcard-worthy. Come with us and swing streamers to aggressive migrating sea trout, and see what all the fuss is about. We'll be there Sept. 20-26 — will you?
Rates (double occupancy):
6-day package US 9,500
