So you’ve talked to many of the lodge owners and operators, contacted local government tourism boards, discussed past trips with a fishing buddy over a couple of cold drinks hearing once again about the one that got away only to realize he has a particularly annoying bias for the same lodge he’s been going to for the past 15 years. You’ve painstakingly surfed the net and after all that stealthy investigation you feel your no further ahead then when you first started. I know what it’s like, there’s a lot of stuffed fish out there, saying they are the best.

If you’ve picked up our newsletter at a sport show or if you’ve received one in the mail, I understand it’s probably one of many in your pile of “Possibilities”, and at this point your probably finding it hard to separate Reality from Salesmanship. The others will talk to you about their newly appointed European Chef, their custom made after dinner mints and their 54" beds. Make no mistake, this is a fishing trip your trying to plan, what they won’t tell you is about the additional costs needed to fly-out in order to get into trophy sized fish, the 2 hour boat ride necessary to get to the “hot spots” or the shared space agreement they’ve made with the 4 other lodges on the lake.

Others might neglect to tell you upfront about the “extras” that you may have missed in their fine print. It’s not only costly but it’s discouraging and unfortunately many anglers have learned this from their mistakes or more accurately by misrepresentation. While others have got caught up in “Corporate Marketing” I have listened to our guests, one at a time and one on one. I’ve added upgrades throughout the years, fine tuned logistics and travel arrangements making easier and more convenient to reach our remote location, but our philosophy has not swayed with the passing fads and faces of the fishing world.

My philosophy is simple and it works, provide you with the best possible fishing trip offered anywhere in the world. After all life is about compromise, fishing doesn’t have to be. Oh yeah, one more thing, we have this years poloroid’s, pictures don’t lie, the fisherman might, but the pictures don’t !! I hope to talk to you soon.
