Luxury Holidays Mediterranean Holidays Fishing Fresh water angling

Purists regard freshwater fly-fishing as the ultimate expression of the sport, and Scott Dunn has selected a handful of the very best fishing lodges that offer some of the world’s finest fly-fishing. Foremost among these are the magnificently remote lodges of Chile and Argentina, where huge numbers of trophy-sized rainbow and brown trout await the deftest of presentations in the crystalline mountain rivers of the Patagonian Andes. You will also discover here a sense of solitude coupled with genuine old world hospitality that is hard to find in the modern world. Deep in the south, Tierra del Fuego offers luxury lodges where the sea-run trout fishing cannot be equalled, while amongst the wildlife-rich wetlands of northern Argentina and western Brazil, you can have memorable battles with the superbly aggressive golden dorado while experiencing gaucho culture and the finest wildlife viewing in the Americas – a truly unique adventure. Although the lodges in South America tend to cater to the dedicated angler, there are many reasons why the non-angler will enjoy coming, as there is usually magnificent trekking, horse riding, superb food and amazing wildlife to see.

Down under, New Zealand also offers fabulous fly-fishing in the Lake Taupo region and Southern Alps, as well as a chance to experience the legendary hospitality and fantastic outdoors life in the Land of the Long White Cloud. Tasmanaia has also recently been ‘discovered’ as a prime fly-fishing destination.
