Destination Trips

Dusty and Lisa Wissmath are very pleased to be hosting several destination trips this year providing a blend of fly fishing education and experience.  Novice or expert, you'll hone your skills on some of the best fly water in the country and take home memories that will last a lifetime. 

Different types of fishing require different fly fishing techniques unique to the quarry you are pursuing.  Our destination trips will consist of short, focused on-water technique seminars to acquaint you with the area, then guided fishing excursions with local guides to experience true blue ribbon fly fishing.  Please feel free to call Dusty at 717-328-9400, ext. 3531 or 540-554-2676 for more details on these trips and to ask about future trips we have planned to the Bahamas, Austria, Belize and Nantucket.

Montana - Nestled in the heart of Montana's finest trout fishing country is the Upper Canyon Outfitters Ranch.  We will be leading two trips to the ranch this summer to fish the Ruby river (which runs right through the ranch) as well as the Madison, Big Hole and Beaverhead.  Jake and Donna McDonald's family has owned the ranch since 1910 providing true western hospitality with all of the comforts of home. 

The trip will consist of five days of guided fishing with on-stream instruction in casting, aquatic and terrestrial insect fishing and nymphing techniques.  Upper Canyon has exclusive access to several blue ribbon sections of the Ruby in addition to their own water where you will walk/wade fish for brown, rainbow and native cutthroat trout.  To insure the highest quality experience, you will be guided by the ranch's exceptional guides with a maximum client-to-guide ratio of 2:1.  We have also scheduled a float trip for you on one of the West's unmatched larger rivers in the area to experience big river fishing at its best.  Evening present the opportunity for casting and fly tying instruction...or just kick back and relax!  You may even choose to ride horseback one day or go on a whitewater raft trip.  All activities are included in the price of the trip.
