  1. Thanks for the heads up. Think I’ll just skip PA fishing altogether based on reports
  2. Awesome. Yeah I’m trying to keep everything pretty open based on conditions. I’m now thinking I’ll skip PA and just try to get to the driftless ASAP. Thanks!
  3. Hi all, I’m leaving Boston this Sunday for a month long road trip with the final destination being Denver where I’ll be living for the next 6 months. Ill be traveling solo, with my truck and 20’ RPOD camper. The goal is to fish my way out there through Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Montana and Wyoming. I haven’t planned much because I wanted to keep it flexible based on current reports and conditions. Ideally I’m looking for recommendations on the best places to camp/boondock with close river access that offer solitude and great views. I am set up with solar and a generator, so no need for hook ups. I’m flexible, but definitely have my heart set on making it up to GNP and working my way down to YNP where I’d fish for a few days. I’ve been researching soda butte creek, the lamar, rock creek, north fork Shoshone, and many other places. I’m open to all suggestions for great central camp locations or other good places to wet a line. It will be all walk/wade DIY fishing. My initial thought is to spend 5 days at a site just outside of GNP to explore and fish the area. Somewhere around St Mary maybe? Then drive down and spend the next 5 days in Lamar valley, potentially slough creek campground. Again head south and spend a few days south of the park in the Jackson area before heading off to CO. Any thoughts? Also, if anyone has suggestions for places to camp/fish in PA or SD or anywhere along the way feel free to throw them out there. Thinking of a couple days at Poe Paddy state park in PA to fish penns creek then wing it for a couple nights in badlands/black hills. Appreciate any and all suggestions. Cheers!
  4. Appreciate all the info. Mike K. sold me on Belize. I’ll be spending a few days in a hotel, 50/50 with a guide and DIY. Then I’ll be making my way down to Cayo Frances Farm for three days to do some SUP fishing. I actually fish off the same boards they use all summer for striped bass, so I feel pretty confident that I’ll be able to get the fly where it needs to go. I’ll make sure I come back here for a trip report! Thanks again guys
  5. Any suggestions of where to go and stay?
  6. Good post man, thanks I’m a recently single 33 yo guy in really good shape and live in Boston. I would consider myself a decent fly fisherman (6.5-10?), although mostly all my experience is with trout and striped bass. I can cast and double haul really well, although I have zero experience fishing for tropical/exotic fish. Ideally I would split the trip 50/50 DIY and with a guide, preferably with a guide the first few days. There’s something about being in a new place and landing a nice fish all on your own. I own a 7, 8, and 9 weight. I have no problem being somewhere without access to fly shops. I don’t mind a 3rd world country, but I speak minimal Spanish and would prefer to be somewhere that’s MOSTLY safe. I’ve been to PR and Costa Rica and loved them both. I only fished for machaca in CR but it was one of the best days I’ve ever had fly fishing. Although I would rather travel somewhere new, I wouldn’t hesitate to travel back to either of these locations. Also of note…I enjoy drinking a few too many and chasing some tail (not fish) every now and again. So if that’s an option anywhere, that’s a big plus.
  7. Hey all, I just took a new job that starts on 1/17 and I’ll pretty much be working 24/7 through may. With that being said, I am looking to book a 5-7 day solo fishing trip sometime between 12/20 and 1/10. I’m considering the Keys, Bahamas, Belize, Colorado, or Arizona. I don’t care if it’s for permit, bones, tarpon, or trout. I would like to find a place that’s well suited for solo travelers/anglers and also has some decent bars, restaurants, and nightlife. I’d like to say money is no options, but unfortunately it is, although I don’t mind forking out a few grand. Anyone have any thoughts on the locations listed or care to throw out some other ideas? Appreciate all input Cheers
  8. Appreciate the input. I’m having second thoughts about heading to FG as it’s a bit out of the way. I might just head up towards Casper and fish the north platte and some of those waters on the way to Jackson. I have a guide on Monday the 20th in deckers through trouts. Looking forward to that
  9. Good points. That’s one of the reasons I’m leaving a pretty open itinerary. Hoping they get some rain soon. Hope you have a good trip!
  10. Thanks for the reply! I drove from Yellowstone to Denver a couple years ago although I didn’t fish much on that trip. I was thinking that the gorge or miracle mile would be a good stopping point along the way
  11. Hey all, Just booked a last minute fishing trip out west. I’ll be landing in Denver on 9/17 and renting a car for two weeks. I’m meeting a couple buddies in Jackson Wyoming on 9/24 and fishing the backcountry for a week. While in Denver, I’m thinking of fishing elevenmile, dream steam, and/or deckers. Should I avoid these places on a Sunday? On my way to Jackson, I’m looking into making a detour and fishing flaming gorge for a day. I could also take a different route and fish the miracle mile. I’m open to any and all suggestions as I’m still very early in the planning process. Couple things - I don’t mind driving at all and don’t mind ‘some’ crowds if the fishing is worth it. Is it worth it to fish deckers, elevenmile, and dream stream over two days? Or should i just pick one or two spots and make a long day out of it? Appreciate any input Nick
  12. Do you have kids? I grew up in Halifax right next door. I moved out of that area once I got to college and never went back. It’s a beautiful area with lots of freshwater fishing and nature in general. The whole area is very “townie” where everyone knows everyone, which was never my thing. If you’re raising kids, the drug (opiate) problem on the south shore is horrendous. I have lost many friends and seen lots of lives destroyed.
  13. Been missing out on my day trips to the mountains for trout, but it’s hard to leave the city when you have such a great fishery in your backyard. Getting into double digit fish every outing.
  14. First day out on the new SUP and ran into quite a few of these guys
  15. Good day exploring some new water yesterday. Took a bunch of fish on top with this wild (I think) brown being the best of the bunch. Any day fishing dries is a good day
