Marble Trout are what we like to target. Approaching the trout is one of the things we will be teaching you out on our rivers. This could be one of the most beautiful countries you could ever experience in the world. These rivers can be waded light to moderate, we suggest you bring your fly fishing gear or we can rent it to you.
Nice hard fighting rainbows is what you're going to primarily catch. Trout live in some of the most amazing places, we'll help you find those locations and help you on how to approach them for the hook up. We set up a trip in June of 2021 for a client's son named Ian who had fished with us before in the Bahamas.
They say in fly fishing, it's also about the places fly fishing takes one. We think you are going to like the trip we set up for you. We have helped people organize their fly fishing trips since 1994, let us show you why so many people worldwide trust. Jack Trout Fly Fishing International, it's our experience that makes the difference.
