Saltwater Fly Fishing Destinations - Ed Blank's Adventures

Bonefish | Permit | Tarpon | Rainbow Trout | Brown Trout

Bonefish Fly fishing for bonefish is a unique combination of hunting and fishing at the same time. Almost all of the fly fishing is sight fishing so while you are not casting you are hunting; scanning the water for some trace of these silver ghosts of the flats. The fact that they take a fly fairly readily and that bonefish can run at 22 miles per hour ( compared to 8 miles an our for a salmon or trout!) makes for a fun day of fly fishing. The locations we serve that have bonefish are Christmas Island, Belize, the Bahamas and Mexico's Ascension Bay,or Xcalak, and Venezuela's Los Roques. If you ever decide to visit one of these destinations please consider talking to us about the trips we offer.

Fly fishing for permit is one of the biggest challenges in fly fishing. The fish are extremely spooky and very picky when it comes to eating flies. You will get far more refusals than takes even when you get the fly in the right spot with out spooking them. If you ever decide to pursue these exciting fish give me a call and I will steer you in the right direction. We have two places in our roster that boast the best permit fishing in the world. Belize has a good mixture of bonefish and tarpon thrown in and Mexico's Ascension Bay, Xcalak also has grand slam possibilities.

Brown trout are found throughout the world and we have destinations in the following areas: Argentina, Chile and New Zealand. They have the ability to survice in warmer water than rainbows and come in many strains. Most fish around the world seem to hae been introduced from strains in Germany in the early 1900's. Some of these fish have adapted into the huge sea run browns found in Tierra del Fuego.
