Destinations
Ekaluk River / Lyall's Flyfishing Camp
A short ride by float plane from Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, and located on a bluff overlooking the river estuary, Lyall’s is a true wilderness camp offering a stunning view of the fabled Northwest Passage and surrounding Arctic landscape. Guests have walking access to the entire length of the river from the outlet of Lake Ferguson to the sea. A closely guarded secret, closed in 2018 and reopened in 2022, the camp offers an extraordinary experience centered around swinging flies for large sea-run Arctic char.
​
Skeena Region / Nicholas Dean Outdoors
Located in Terrace, British Columbia, the hub of the Lower Skeena Valley, NDO is perfectly situated to provide all-inclusive packages for steelhead, chinook and coho in spring, summer and fall. Our trusted partner and friend for over 20 years, now operating out of Yellow Cedar Lodge overlooking the Skeena.
Rio Gallegos & Rio Santa Cruz / Salmon Junkies
Our associates since 2012, Salmon Junkies develop and provide attractive, all-inclusive angling programs on a number of waters around the globe for sea-run fish. The program at Estancia Carlota offers exclusive, double-bank access to a 22+ km reach (more in 2024) of the renowned Rio Gallegos. Available for the 2024 season, Piedrabuena Steelhead Program, an add-on package for Atlantic steelhead on the Rio Santa Cruz.
​
Matapedia River / Bespoke Flyfishing
With early season weeks reserved at both Tobique Salmon Club and Cold Spring Camp on the Matapedia River, the largest tributary in the famous Restigouche system, Bespoke Flyfishing offers prime fly water access to what are arguably the most desirable Atlantic salmon returning to Eastern Canada's Gaspé region. We're excited to jump onboard this developing program.
​
Dean River / BC West
We couldn't be more thrilled. On tap for 2024 is a return to the Pacific Northwest's premier summer steelhead and chinook fishery: the incomparable Dean River. In a "split" program — three days guided below the canyon and three days unguided above the canyon via ATV access — BC West offers first swings for what may be the hottest anadromous fish on the planet. Late June and early July is a prime window for a mix of both species.
