Hosted Travel: , by Dax Messett: 2020 Hosted Trips: 3 stars
Since all steelhead rivers are currently blown out, lets have a look at some fun hosted travel options for 2020 and beyond. Contact me with any questions.
Cuba 4/23-5/2 El Faro Lodge, primarily a tarpon trip to a remote epic new lodge with no angling competition whatsoever. Includes 3 nights in Old Havana. Trip is full, inquire for 2021.
Bolivia 7/10-7/19 Pluma Lodge, sight fishing for Golden Dorado at one of the top lodge operations in the world. Maybe 1 spot left at a discounted price. Most epic flyfishing trip available in the world for adventurous anglers
Dean River 8/7-8/14 Kimsquit Bay Lodge, arguably the most famous steelhead river in the world. Maybe one spot left for 2020, 2021 is already full. The Dean is on every steelhead angler's bucket list. Its extremely difficult to get a spot here to have a shot at the hottest steelhead on the planet.
Skeena River 8/30-9/13 Skeena Spey, arguably the other most famous steelhead river in the world. Trip is (always) full, but inquire for 2021. After 10 years of exploring the system and lodge offerings, I can say with full confidence that Skeena Spey is the top lodge on the Skeena River System.
Louisiana Marsh 12/1-12/5 French Quarter of New Orleans, prime time for sight casting to mega Redfish. Trip is full, might add a 2nd week.

Skeena River specimens can be tough to get, but always memorable

Hosted travel is an awesome way to experience destination travel and meet new buddies

Redfish are one of the higher regarded fish for salt water anglers looking to stay close to home

The water in the Amazon reminds me of the crystal clear rivers I use to guide in New Zealand
