I am excited to bring you this chat with Nick Roberts of the Bonefish, Tarpon Trust. Nick is a wealth of knowledge and blast to talk to about all things Bonefish, Tarpon and Permit.
And don’t sleep on him when it comes to trout and all other species. This guy loves to fish and loves to travel so I know you will love this episode.
Speaking of travel, I leave for Patagonia in just a few weeks so I am excited to bring you reports from Argentina in early December. Let me know on social if you have been to Patagonia and some flies I should be prepared for. I will get all the details for a possible curated, hosted trip for us in 2024. Are you interested in Patagonia? What other trips are on your bucket list?
We offer very select spots on some of the trips we take. Check out the travel page on flyfishingjourneys.com if you have interest in traveling with us. Right now, the major destinations available are Iceland for Trout, Char, Sea-Trout and Atlantic Salmon; Alaska for Pacific Salmon, Rainbows and Dolly Varden and the Bahamas for Bonefish, Permit and Tarpon.
These curated trips are during prime seasons and are set aside just for us. Spots are limited so drop me an email or a direct message and we can chat more about your goals in fly fishing travel.
