Fly Fish Argentina
Dates- December 1-9, 2008
Website- http://www.flymaniacs.com.ar/
Hawkins Outfitters is hosting a trip to the Patagonia region of Argentina in December of this year. I know that December is a busy family time but the purpose of this trip is to get a 30 inch plus trout (browns and rainbows)on a fly and December is theeeeee time to do it.
We will be fishing with Fly Maniacs, the same outfitter that we used last year with great results. The six anglers that went all said it was the best trip they have taken and can't wait to return.
Cost is $4500 for 9 days of fishing. The trip will include several days floating and camping with the balance at lodge locations. Will be fishing the Limay and several other rivers depending on water levels and conditions. I want to stress that this trip is for anglers serious about catching truly big fish. The weather will be similar to ours in spring. As it is in Michigan spring is the best time to catch really big fish. If we go in January or February it is like fishing in the middle of summer in the states.
For those of you that would rather take a six day trip that can be accommodated. The cost would be $3000 and we need an even number of anglers so they can drop one boat.

Cloud Peak Wilderness with Flatiron Troutfitters, Buffalo, Wyoming
Dates - August 3 to 7, 2009
Cost - $1195 for adults and $995 for children
This is a horseback pack trip into the Cloud Peak wilderness in the Big Horn Mountains in Wyoming. Rusty Boger of Flatiron Troutfitters has a permanent camp on Flatiron Lake. It is the nicest tent camp I've ever stayed in. It has all of the amenities to make your 5 days in the wilderness comfortable, clean and safe. Situated on Flatiron Lake with a creek running right next to camp the area is full of fishing opportunity. From small lakes with 1000's of brook trout eager to eat dry flies to trophy cutthroat fishing, this camp has it all. Departing from the trailhead Monday morning and return Friday afternoon gives anglers enough time to completely enjoy the wilderness and all that the mountains have to offer.
Hawkins Outfitters is hosting this trip and we are putting emphasis on bringing children. My daughter Casey loved this camp last year and will be returning again with me this year. The camp and the fishing are ideal for introducing kids to the wilderness and fly fishing. Trout numbers on dry flies are huge, kids get a lot of practice and fish reinforcement. We will be happy to help you get outfitted with the right flies and equipment. It is a 3 hour ride to camp on a mountain trail. Though you don't need to be a accomplished rider a few lessons would benefit anyone that has never been on a horse.
We have a total of 10 spots available, 5 are already booked. Dads and/or Moms how about getting your daughter into the woods next summer? It will be a trip that she won't forget.
