Best Western Fly Fishing Trip for the money?

Post by drexelantiques »

Myself, a decent eastern fly fisherman. My wife, no fly fishing experience, though I will teach her what I can. My inlaws, both in their upper sixties, she no fishing experience, father in law some fishing experience, but no real fly fishing experience. So will need fly casting instruction, and guides. Need lodging, prefer nice scenery, perhaps with other things to do nearby. Any help, or recommendations? Thanks in advance, Jeff

Don't know about the $ but April Vokey seems to be a hot commodity in NW fly fishing these days: http://www.aprilvokey.com/about/ Pretty good instructor, too, it seems: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GyBaKfpxcw Worth checking out, especially for the ladies. :) You don't want them to have this happen: :wink:

Look into (google) West Yellowstone, Montana. There are a number of outfitters in the area as well as lodging. Yellowstone National Park is there and if you haven't been there, it is a must see as well as the multiple fishing opportunities in and around the Park. A little fartner south is Jackson, Wyoming, a very busy town with lots to do. It is located at the foot of the Grand Tetons , the Snake River, and other fishing venues close by.

Wait a minute...you said WESTERN, which I beg to differ doesn't mean Montana!

If you want to have a great northern California fly fishing experience for steelhead, contact the Trinity Fly Shop in Lewiston, Ca, Herb and Kit are the best guides on the river in the fall.

of course it does. Not Western means Appalachians.
