Our lodges are totally focused on providing a fly fishing experience that’s second to none. Does that mean that you need to be an expert to fish with them? Heck no.

A few of the lodges are great places to learn how to fly fish. At British Colombia however, we’re not shy about the fact that you need to have some days under your belt to really appreciate the experience. At Alaska, Andros and Chile, our guests range from actual first-time, never-picked-up-a-fly-rod-before anglers, to world-traveling angling experts.

Here’s why Alaska, Andros and Chile are great places to learn how to fly fish.

  1. You will catch fish and you’ll have fun doing it. Our remote fisheries are really productive and have extremely low angling pressure, and that means you’re going to be successful. Having too many people around screws up the fishing. Catching fish is fun.
  2. The guides are really patient and skilled in working with anglers of all ability levels, including first-timers.
  3. They run instructional programs designed to help people get better at particular types of fishing, like Bonefishing Schools at Andros, for example.
  4. The atmosphere at our lodges is really low-key and you don’t need to by shy about what you don’t know. The people, guests and staff alike, are going to share in the fun that you have when you get it right!

  1. Growing up I tried to teach myself to fly fish by watching others, practicing, and reading about it. I thought that I was OK at it, but never did too well. Then I went to a fly fishing class taught by VERY well known and experienced teachers. It made a world of difference in both my enjoyment of the sport and in my success rate. I definitely recommend being instructed in such a way.
