For those of you looking to chase a roosterfish...few chalenges compare to sight casting to a crusing giant roosterfish from the beach. Our friend, Grant Hartman, pioneered this craze. He also makes the adventure easier and more accessible, by boat, from Baja Anglers, out of Cabo San Lucas MX. However, catching a "Grande" from the beach is arguably the "pinicle" of flyfishing.

Wendy and a nice permit from 3 years ago today, with "Magic Mike" Anderson.
Wil Flack and crew do a great job guiding and chasing permit. We are looking forward to our week-long liveaboard trip with them in June.

I'm thinking it's about time to plan a return trip to Chile for 2026.

Helicoptering though the rugged mountains of the South Island of New Zealand is one of the most incredible life experiences on Planet Earth.
Then you land on a remote river and sight cast to a huge trout that likely has never seen an artificial fly.

As we begin packing for our month in New Zealand, we can't wait to get back to these crystal clear, South Island streams. We are returning again in 2026. Let us know if you have an interest in joining us.

One of our favorite hosted trips this season was to Martin Pescador Lodge in Chile. The fishing was outstanding, and the scenery was simply stunning..

We hope that you will join us on our travels! This page will be updated regularly with original photos and videos that I hope will bring you along and allow you to share in our adventures regardless of where you are.

After a 40 year career of doing what I loved -- while Wendy and I built a solid business around fly fishing – we took the next step. After transitioning out of the day-to-day operations and retiring, we have been traveling the globe in search of fish and adventure.

Now, we want to share our extensive experience in fly fishing together with our deep knowledge of hospitality with our friends by hosting fly fishing travel. To begin, we selected the best destinations and the best times to be there.

Over the last two years, we have crossed the equator six times, spent two months in Belize, traveled 18,000-miles in the U.S. Mountain West, fished in Mexico, Chile, New Zealand, Brazil, Cuba and Belize . . . whew. It's been a blast!

A quick recap of our last four decades in fly fishing:

· 1983 began guiding at Lees Ferry, Arizona.

· 1987 co-founded and built Crystal Creek Lodge in Alaska.

· 1989 Wendy and I started Lees Ferry Anglers Fly Shop and Guide Service.

· 1997 we co-founded Baja Anglers in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

· 2001 purchased Cliff Dwellers Lodge.

· 2022 we retired.
