‘What a wonderful place and a great concept for the serious fisherman, and so many other interesting things to do. We wish we had discovered it (Koskentila) the first day we were in Finland.’

Gary and Monica Wescott – The Turtle Expedition, Unltd. – California, USA

The Nykälä Rapids are a varied resort for fishing in Finland in the Haukivuori region 40 km north-west of Mikkeli.The Nykälä Rapids belong to the system called the Mäntyharju-route and is situated on the upper course of it.

The fishing area is 4 km long with 5 rapids for brown trout and a separate small lake for large pike (record 15,3 kg).Fish include large brown trout, grayling, pike, perch, ide and bream. The main catch is the brown trout (Salmo trutta). During last season 1085 brown trout were caught by 1120 fishermen. The Nykälä Rapids are number one in Finland for brown trout.

The lower part of the river (2 km) with its four rapids is dedicated to fly-fishing and spin-fishing.

Fishing from the boat is possible in the upper part of the river (2 km) or in a small lake ‘Pieni-Poikimo’ (6 hectares).

The upper part of the river is excellent for exciting torch fishing at nights. Along the fishing area there are bridges, jetties, campfires, a lean-to-shelter, an outhouse. In the courtyard of the estate there is a smoke oven/grill.

Fishing trips are organized to lake Kyyvesi (133 km², 400 islands), well-known for its big pike and pike-perch.

The fishing season continues until the waters freeze at the beginning of December and fishing brown trout is allowed even during 11 September – 15 November

The Koskentila Estate is the center of the fishing area. It is an over 400-year-old traditional Finnish farm now renovated and dedicated to serious fishermen. The Koskentila Estate consists of ten different 130-year-old buildings and the surrounding land and has true historical and scenic value. In the main building there is a café, a kiosk and a reception where you can buy fishing permits and hire a boat or fishing equipment.

The livingroom for the guests is a huge log room with a massive original oven and open fire.

In the reception room there is also a library with books and magazines about fishing and catch statistics.

Accommodation is in the small traditional log cabins around the main building. They have only modest conveniences; heating and lightning with electricity, a fridge and a drying cupboard for wet clothes. Each cabin is furnished with six beds. Total 38 beds. Overnighting is also possible in the lean-to-shelter, a tent or a caravan.

Sauna with an open fire in the dressing room, showers and toilets and kitchen are in separate building.

Kilcoleman Fishery, Enniskean, County Cork

Kilcoleman is situated on The Bandon River which flows through some of the most scenic countryside in the South West of Ireland. For centuries it has been recognized as one of the best angling locations in County Cork. It is 27 miles from Cork airport, and 6 miles west of the town of Bandon. The owner combines a life-long enthusiasm for fly fishing having inherited his skills from successive generations of fly angling ancestors dating back to the early seventeen hundreds when his family, The Lamb’s, first purchased Kilcoleman.

The Fishery is privately owned and totals 1.2 miles. We also have access to a further 3 miles of private water 6 miles up stream from Kilcoleman. The Bandon River flows through The Kilcoleman Park Estate which totals 240 acres of park and agricultural land. There are ten named salmon pools. There are also excellent stocks of wild brown trout which average 12ozs with over 1lbs not unusual.

The season opens on the 1st of March and closes on the 30th of September. Fishing for salmon is fly only. Trout fishing is fly only on the whole of the Bandon river at all times.

There is a bag limit of 2 salmon and 6 trout per day per rod. We strongly encourage a ‘catch and release’ policy for salmon hence the limit of 2 per day. Average annual catches of salmon over the past 10 years has been 103. It is difficult to define ‘which month is best’ because sport is very dependent on rainfall.

Kilcoleman is renowned for its hospitality. The owners David and Patricia Lamb make a particular effort to make their guests feel at home. Kilcoleman is just one of a few private fisheries which only permits fly for salmon throughout the entire season. If you require a memorable holiday in a peaceful, un-spoilt environment, with an abundance of wild life, and the added bonus of Irish Hospitality, and all at an affordable price, then Kilcoleman can offer you something quite unique

Graham Dean Fly Fishing, Taupo, New Zealand

I have fly fished the rivers and lakes of Taupo and the central north island for over twenty years and have been a full time guide for eleven of them, in this time I have gained a wealth of local knowledge. With this knowledge and time on the water I can arrange and guide you on an unforgettable angling experience.

Local Rivers [May - December]

Fly fishing for hard fighting wild trout on their annual migration from lake Taupo to the head waters of its tributaries, these fish have an average weight of 4 to 5lb.

Floating line and upstream nymph is the preferred method.

Fly fishing at its best.

Remote Wilderness Streams[October-May]

These streams offer more challenging fly fishing where you can test your skill on wild Trout just waiting for a well presented dry fly or nymph.

These streams run through some of the most scenic country in the central north island. Transport is by 4×4 vehicles or helicopter.

Whangapeki Station [October-May]

3,000 acres of private land and river runs through it. This area offers some of the best drive to water I know, you can even stay over night in very comfortable cabins, the evening rise can be exceptional. This ranch also offers small game hunting for rabbits, hare and turkey, and for the more serious hunter, free range hunting for red deer.

Lake Otamangakau [December - April]

This small hydro lake produces some of the largest wild trout I have caught anywhere, the largest of these was a 34 inch 17.5lb rainbow. The food in this lake is insect based so casting small nymphs and dry flies on very long leaders is the most successful method. The brown trout fishing from the shore offers some great sight fishing for larger browns that cruise the margins, this lake is also famous for its cicada hatch with a little breeze these large insects end up on the surface of the lake, some of the rises can be seen 100 yards away. The opportunity for that fish of a lifetime.

Haddo Trout Fishery is the ideal location for a great day’s fly fishing. The loch is surrounded by the mixed woodland of Haddo Estate. It is peaceful, scenic and sheltered.

Fishing is from quality rowing boats which are suitable for two anglers and buoyancy aids are provided for your safety.

The fishery covers over six acres and will be stocked regularly with premium quality rainbow trout. The fish will be mainly in the two to four pound range in weight, but don’t go too light on the nylon as there will also be some bigger ones!

You will also come across some first class brown trout in the loch. Please return these carefully

The very best flyfishing in Kola Peninsula, arctic Russia for large Atlantic salmon & trophy wild brown trout!

Untouched wild nature, clear water and clean air combined with excellent fishing make the Varzina Lodge truly a world class fishing destination.

The Lodge main building contains our gourmet kitchen, a spacious dining room and a fully supplied lounge bar. It is also equipped with a satellite-operated TV, phone, fax, and e-mail facilities. A specialized fly-shop is also available.There are two separate saunas with hot showers available daily. A four-person cabin with its own sauna and a small living room is also available. The Varzina experience is limited to satisfy 16 anglers per week.

All our rivers support wild populations of really large and truly strong Atlantic salmon. Fish up to 35 lbs. and more, crystal clear water, great variety of rivers all with huge number of fishable pools – These are the elements that combine to make the unforgettable Varzina salmon experience.

We can offer easy fishing and instruction to any beginner and most challenging pools to the demanding salmon connoisseur.

Daily helicopter flights take fishermen to the pools that are at their prime condition for fishing . There is one experienced guide available for each two fishermen. Our international guides know the area well and can help with fish spotting, fly selection and casting problems as necessary.

The first early salmon are all huge. They run from June to early July. Then the mid-sized fish follow and finally also the numerous grilse fill all the pools. Fresh run, sea-liced fish can be found even high up in all the rivers throughout the whole season.

The Varzina brown trout fishing is really one of the seven wonders of the fishing world. No other place in the world can offer brown trout fishing of this quality and variety. Otherwise normal trophy trout is just one average fish in our rivers.

Specially late in the season there is no end to the trout averaging well over 22 inches. These are really wild, heavyweight fighting fish that will amaze even the most jaded trout angler. We just might call your sixth (of the day) double figure fish a trophy…

The excellent fishing combined with first class accommodation, service and guiding will make your holiday one that you’ll really remember forever.

You will find out that there are recorded brown trout of more than 13 kilos! We know that browns of 15 kilos have been caught on our river, so why do not give them a try? (Catch & Release only, please).

This program is set up for six full days of fishing on the Ro Grande on the Estancia Mara Behety section and seven days lodging in town at the Posada de los Sauces or similar hotel.

The fishing week starts on Sundays and finishes on Fridays. Saturdays are transfer days.

The lodging is based upon double occupancy in rooms with private bathrooms, continental breakfast, dinner menu ‘a la carte’, at the Posada de los Sauces, in town. Lunch and ‘siesta’ by the river in our new private cabin.

Magallanes Flyfishing, Tierra del Fuego, Patagonia

Magallanes Fly Fishing offers in Tierra del Fuego, Chile, the best brown and sea trout fishing in Chilean Patagonia. Rafael González, one of the most experienced local guides and new Cameron Lodge, invites you to fish these fabulous waters, with more than forty kilometres of river to your disposal.

The Rio Grande is the largest river on the Tierra del Fuego island and is well known for its huge sea trout and the solitude of the countryside.

Our Lodge is the Estancia, Cameron’s recently refurbished administration house, built on a high cliff, with a great view over the Darwin Range and less than one hundred yards from the Río Grande. This Estancia has about fifty kilometers of frontage on the north side of the Río Grande (all the way down stream to the Argentinean border)

You will especially enjoy the solitude of having this splendid fishery to yourself with the chance of fishing yet unnamed pools where few outsiders have ever cast a fly

It’s an excellent river for flyfishing, sometimes more challenging and rewarding than downstream in Argentina, due to the different techniques and finesse that have to be employed. The water is much clearer, and maintains it’s clarity, even in higher flows. The fishing is also rewarding because there’s always action.

In this section of the river sea run browns average ten pounds, with monsters up to eighteen/twenty pounds. On occasion we’ll even land really huge fish, well over twelve kilos (twenty six pounds)!!! Unlike the lower Argentinean section of the river, there are also resident river browns up to the six pound class, beautifully coloured fish that readily take our flies.

In addition, anglers will find some healthy, “chromer” lake run browns, with the shape of a rugby ball, that enter the river from the Blanco lake for our enjoyment. And, completing the ‘Grand Slam’, there are rainbows too! You will see them some meters from you, down stream, feeding on the aquatic insects you kick up from the bottom of the river. It’s something to be seen!!!

The fishing season on the Río Grande runs from October through April. In November and December the fishing is very good, but the peak months are January, February, March and April.

Waitaki Lakes

The Waitaki Valley is the Gateway to the Central South Island Region, with its main geographical feature being the abundance and variety of excellent fly fishing waters for wild, Brown and Rainbow trout.

Beginning in the ‘High Country,’ these clear spring creeks, streams and rivers flow through contrasting scenery and terrain ranging from snow-capped alps and rugged gorges to wide open grassy valleys.

When these waters combine, they enter a chain of hydro lakes before becoming one of New Zealand’s largest braided river systems – the Waitaki River, which empties into the Pacific Ocean.

The relatively short travelling time between such contrasting waters and scenery is an advantage should weather patterns or conditions necessitate a change of location.

Specializing in fly fishing – dry fly & nymph, for both experienced and novice anglers. Tuition in casting and techniques. Spin fishing options.

OTHER SPORTS FISHING AVAILABLE

EVENING/NIGHT RISE – The evening Caddis hatch and accompanying trout rise on the Waitaki River throughout the season is renowned. Many anglers who were at first hesitant to participate in this type of angling, became ‘hooked’ – in more than one sense of the world.

SALMON (CHINOOK/KING) – Entering the Waitaki River as early as November, the recognized ‘run’ is from January to the end of April. Optimum period is considered to be during February and March, coinciding with the peak of our New Zealand summer.

SEA RUN BROWN TROUT – Entering the esturine areas of the Waitaki River in good numbers, generally during the months of November through February. Average sizes range from 31b to 8lb but it is not uncommon for sea Run to be landed in the 101b – 14lb range.

Main season – October through April
