Crooked Island, Bahamas click here for slideshow
On Crooked Island, we have found what we believe to be one of the best deals in the Bahamas. The bonefishing/flats fishing is excellent, and the shallow water reef program adds another dimension to the great flats fishing already offered. The guides are great, and they work hard, often staying on the water for 10 hours. Their boats are top-notch, and better than we have seen anywhere we have visited in the Bahamas. The lodging is also modern, clean and very comfortable, and you can watch the sun setting over the ocean every evening, not to mention you can catch jacks, snapper, grouper and barracuda right from shore. And there are very few bugs here, for reasons unknown to me. The food is also superb, and as fresh as you can get it. Lobster, wahoo, mutton snapper, grouper & conch are just some of the tasty dinners we'll enjoy.
The cost is $3500.00 per person for seven nights, six full days of guided fishing. (based on double occupancy) *Cost includes guides, lodging, all meals & non-alcoholic drinks on Crooked Island, and airport transfers from Crooked island airport to the Lodge. *You pay for airfare to Crooked Island, one night’s lodging, taxi & dinner in Nassau, tips, and alcohol, if desired.
Acklins Island Bonefishing at Grey's Point Lodge!
Join us for a week on this wonderful bonefishing paradise, which includes 6 days of guided fishing @ Grey's Point Lodge. Grey's is the perfect place for hardcore anglers who want to experience the great wading for bones that Acklins offers. Acklins Island is one of the most remote, beautiful and pristine areas left in the Bahamas. There are miles of creeks and flats which offer some of the best bonefishing in the Islands. Bonefish on Acklins love knee to ankle-deep water and tail readily on the flats and in the vast creek systems which offer incredible wade fishing opportunities. The beautiful lodge sits on the water overlooking the flats of Relief Bay.
All rooms have comfortable beds, AC, satellite TV, wireless internet and a full bathroom. Cell phone networks are also available on the island. The lodge has a huge dining room with a pool table, and an angler's lounge for after dinner cocktails. The dinner menu is made up of fresh locally caught seafood such as conch, fish and lobster, as well as chicken, with traditional Bahamian fixings. Lunch is packed to take on the water, and includes a sandwich, fruit, chips and snacks. Traditional american breakfasts are served.
Cost: $3930.00 pp, based on double occupancy. Includes lodging at Greys Point, all meals & non alcoholic drinks, 6 guided fishing days (2 anglers per boat), all taxes and transfers on Acklins.
Overnight stay in Nassau on the way down required. Nassau expenses and flights are not included.

Kanektok River Alaska Adventure click here for slideshow
If you are interested in going to Alaska on this once-in-a-lifetime adventure, please let us know. The trip is hosted by me, and the lodge is run by friends of ours from Upstate NY.
July has kings, chum, pink & sockeye salmon, plus great mousing for rainbows & dolly varden, as well as grayling. This river is a fish factory! It's fly in only and this lodge is one of only 3 lodges on the river.
The Spectacular Kanektok Fishery
The Kanektok (aka the Chosen River) is a fly fisherman’s dream. The river is the perfect size and provides outstanding spawning grounds for all five species of Alaskan Pacific salmon. Located in southwestern Alaska near the village of Quinhagak, our camp is perfectly situated within the Togiak National Wildlife Refuge. Encompassing over 4 million acres, it is home to some of the most prolific salmon runs in the world and hosts a wide variety of fish, bird and mammal species. From rolling tundra to the highest mountain peaks, and from the rugged coastlines to crystal clear rivers, the Togiak National Wildlife Refuge is a haven for all things wild. A magical place by any account, its ability to support wildlife and sustain natural populations of WILD fish truly set it apart. In the clear waters of the Kanektok, anglers will find king, coho, sockeye, chum and pink salmon, as well as trophy-sized native rainbow trout, arctic char, grayling, and dolly varden. The Kanektok and its tributaries and braids give anglers access to some of the best sport fishing in the world. We are extremely lucky to be here on this river and are excited to share this very special area with you.
The Kanektok river fishing season is dictated by the king and silver salmon fishery and has excellent trout fishing. The kings run June 15th – July 25th while the silver salmon run July 23rd until Sept 10th. The king salmon escapement goal is 3,500 - 8,000 per season. The silver salmon escapement goal is 50,000 per season. During the month of July the Kanektok receives a run of 50,000 – 200,000 chum salmon and on even years receives a run of over 100,000 pink salmon. The river also has a run of 50,000 - 200,000 sockeye salmon in mid July. The rivers’ rainbow trout are most prevalent in the braided section of the river. There are trophy rainbows available with some close to 30 inches. The dolly vardens are sea run with over 20,000 - 35,000 passing the fish weir last year. The river also has a good grayling population.
