Where is the best place to go fly fishing in the US?

Question

I am planning a luxury fly fishing retreat for 10 key customers. These people have the money to do whatever they want so we need to impress. I am very unfamiliar with fly fishing so would like some recommendations on the best locations to fish that have the most high end, luxury accommodations as well as engaging people to take the group out to fish. In addition, I would like to find a location that has a full service, high end spa for those who do not want to fish. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Answer 1

If you want the very best fishing in the U.S. and most of the world than it is def. Alaska.Five species of salmon,monster rainbows(up to 20 lbs + in the rivers) halibut,grayling and much more.Getting to fish next to bears, take scenic flights to view wildlife volcanoes and so much more. If you want the best, Alaska is def. the best in the U.S., no second thoughts about it. Just look online at Bristol Bay lodges.

Answer 2

I would reccomend Tahoe. South Lake Tahoe has a fly shop Tahoe Fly Fishing Outfitters. They have excellent guides who can work with your clients, even if they've never fished. They can also rent some outstanding equipment.

The water around Tahoe is excellent and there are many many choices, from small moutain streams with pocket water, to bigger rivers like the Carson with a realy shot at 20"+ trout.

When your not fishing, or for your non-fishing guys, the area abounds with stuff to do. There are several excellent hotels with casinos and shows, and they know how to offer high end accomidations. In addition they can do outstanding golf.

The guys at the shop would be more than happy to arrange any sort of trip you might like and can certainly help with the accomidations.

Good luck.

Montana has some great waters to fish like the Henry's Fork for example but gets a lot of pressure. just a quick jump across the border into the East Kootenay region of British Columbia would be the best bet in my mind. go to.

both companies are based out of Fernie British Columbia. Fernie has a world class ski hill with incredible accommodations just a stone's throw from the Elk River. you say you have 10 clients with some cash to spend. i can't think of a better place to go.
I have fly-fished the region for over 30 years and I'm never disappointed. yes i am a little partial because it is really my backyard but i have fished all over western Canada and the US and i have not found a better place to go. there is an international airport an hour's drive away in Cranbrook so access is not a problem.
good luck and tight lines.

One position it really is often missed is the Tri-State portion of Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota. There are thousands if no longer thousands of miles of spring fed streams operating by those parts. SE Minnesota and NE Iowa host distinctive streams that run with brown, rainbow and brook trout. human beings can spend an afternoon on a stream with none interuptions and would leap from stream to stream in a jiffy. perfect surroundings and tremendous fishing! I advise you employ a handbook for some hours on day one, to make sure whats operating, and pass from there.

Answer 5

so many places.........
try Alaska and other Western states
im from PA (Pittsburgh) and flyfish alot in local streams
well, rich people would like all that stuff, but i doubt any fly fishing service has an of that because most fly guides make u "rough it"
try a cruise that will let u have fly fishing excursions to liek Alaska or someplace else. that would be the best place because i doubt ur gonna find a spa in the middle of nowhere in Montana or someplace else

Answer 6

Alaska is supposed to be quite good from what I've seen on the fishing shows here in England popping over there several times in the past.

I've heard of some REALLY big Trout in Arkansas, and found this guide: http://www.flyfishingarkansas.com/GuideServices.html

IF you're prepared to hop across the border into Canada, there's some really good fishing there........ I recommend this guiding service, as they're also who my favourite TV angler + fishing writer used for his trips: http://www.freds-bc.com/

Answer 7

Jackson Hole, WY - Snake River, Flat Creek, Plenty of 5 star options in the area plus direct jet service.
Aspen CO - Roaring Fork and Frying Pan Rivers, Horseback into the backcountry options. It's Aspen, lots of spa options.
Use a tour organizer like Fly Water Travel http://www.flywatertravel.com/

go to alaska...I was a fishing guide there for 11 years and the trout fishing there is unrivaled....find an outfitter who will take you to lake illiamna area...or fish on the kenai....august on the kenai our average rainbow is 5 pounds and ive caught them in there up to 22 pounds...also while you are trout fishing you can hook salmon like sockeyes and silvers/cohos...also you can book a combination trip to fish both......Try Mr funwyzer charters just type that in your browser he will be able to set you up with first rate accomadations and all the fishing you need...

Answer 9

For full service high end accommodations and full spa/facial treatment try a gay men's bar. You might get lucky with the right fly. Those rich folk will never forget you.
