New Destinations: Great Alaska Salmon and Belize Permit

Fly Odyssey is pleased to be working with several new lodges providing world class fly fishing opportunities in both fresh and saltwater.

Freshwater Fly Fishing
We have just added an Alaska webpage to the Freshwater destinations section. We will be working with 2 lodges that offer the best that Alaska has to offer. Please visit the Alaska webpage for further information.



Great Alaska Adventure Lodge
Great Alaska is located right in the heart of the Kenai Penninsula and is surrounded by National parks and great salmon and steelhead fishing. Great Alaska offers both the lodge experience as well as remote campout fishing and as such has a package price to suit all budgets. It is also a great place to take the family with ecotours galore including a remote bear viewing camp, sea kayaking, glacier cruising and hiking.



Talaheim Lodge
Talaheim is unique in that it is the only helicopter fly out lodge in Alaska. Imagine being able to access the remotest waters that rarely see another fishermen. At Talaheim you get 6 fly outs per week, accessing new water each day and truely get to experience the best backcountry fly fishing that Alaska has to offer.



Saltwater Fly Fishing
We have added several other destinations in Belize to our existing location Whipray Caye to offer a wider variety of lodges to choose from on your next permit chase. Please visit theBelize webpage for further information.



Tarpon Caye Lodge
Tarpon Caye lodge is located in the remote southern waters of Belize off the coast of Placencia. This small island is home to some of the best permit fishing in the world and provides an unique experience in that your fishing day revolves around the tides rather than a strict time schedule ensuring you are on the water at the peak fishing times. With bungalows built over the water Tarpon Caye offers an alternative to the conventional fishing lodge experience.



Turneffe Flats
Turneffe Flats has built a reputation through outstanding fishing and service as one of the premier fishing lodges in the Caribbean. Permit are high on the target species list at Turneffe and there are few better places to go to try and catch this species. Turneffe offers a variety of activities and ecotours and therefore also makes it a great choice to take the family or non fishing partner.

Fly fishing Canada: North Bow Lodge

The North Bow River is one of those places that every fly fisherman should try and get to at least once. It has a long history and has earnt a reputation for producing large brown and rainbow trout to the point where it is considered as one of the best 'big fish" waters in Western North America. The North Bow offers some great hatches with big stonefly, caddis and mayfly hatches throughout the season. Toby Coe of the UK recently visited North Bow Lodge and had this to say and provided some inspiring photographs of his trip.

"Hi Mat. Wow, what a fishery! I had two fantastic days on the Bow whilst at the lodge. The river was a bit coloured and dirtier than usual for the time of year as the snow melt was later than usual, plus they had a lot of rain out there in early to mid-June. We still managed to catch some really nice fish though. The main tactic we used was casting big streamers into the banks or up tight to structure and stripping them back down and across-stream.





The first day we had 20 fish, topped by a cracking brown of about 7lb, plus some really nice rainbows up to about 4lb. The 'bows were thin though as they've just finished spawning, but our guide (who was excellent) said that they pack the weight back on over the summer.





The second day we had thirteen and the fishing was a lot tougher, although we managed five fish on dries right at the end of the day. The fishing in the dry-fly season sounds epic! Big hatches of stoneflies, mayflies, caddis and hoppers all summer long. Got to get back there! We also saw a bunch of wildlife, including beavers, bald eagles, pelicans, megansers and a porcupine."

Cheers
Toby
