Looking for suggestions for a fly fishing trip?
Posted by admin on Thursday, July 29th, 2010
My 40th birthday is approaching (rapidly) and I have been given an opportunity to travel to any part of the continental US for a 2 week fly fishing trip either this fall or next spring. I am opening it up here for suggestions. My ideal trip would be one where I could hire a guide for a day or two then fish on my own.
Anyone had any good trips they would recommend?

Both offer 5 Star fishing success with Browns and huge Rainbows. There is a few guide services along the Henry’s fork, dont recall the names however.

the yes manon 29 Jul 2010 at 11:44 pm 7depending on what style of fishing you want there are way to many places out west to name off that would all fit and be a great experience. as was noted the yellowstone area is a great choice. but there are very good areas, less known but equally as good all over the western US. fall is a great time to fish out west, spring means you could hit runoff conditions but either way there will be decent fishing to be had. I have lived in both colorado and idaho and could fill your itinerary easily with great spots in either state.
