SUMMARY:Hosted Trip to Cuba Feb 22-March 1
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to announce that the Deerfield Fly Shop is putting together a hosted group trip to Cuba to fish the world renowned Jardines de la Reina\, “Gardens of the Queen\,” on the Avalon Outdoors live-aboard yacht\, February 22 to March 1\, 2025. \n \nThe Jardines de la Reina is a vast marine park\, larger in size than the Florida Keys. It is ideal for fly anglers wishing to live and experience fishing from dawn till dusk in one of the most pristine settings on the planet. With tarpon to 60 pounds\, large permit and plentiful bonefish\, the Jardines offers daily opportunities at the classic flats Grand Slam species in addition to barracuda\, jacks and other fish that offer great fun on the fly rod. The marine park outlaws commercial fishing and tightly regulates recreational fishing so that anglers are encountering relatively unpressured fish—there are hundreds of miles of flats and it is likely we will go the week without encountering an angler from outside our group! \n \nJardines de la Reina is for those seeking adventure\, amazing food (including fresh seafood daily)\, and complete comfort. You can fly directly from Miami to Camaguey\, where Avalon provides transport to Jucaro port (2.5 hour drive)\, and then a 3-hour boat ride to final destinations which are approximately 60 miles from the Jucaro port. Overnights in Havana are possible with extra arrangements. \n \nOnce on the water\, we have our floating hotel\, the 190-foot Jardines Avalon IV. The  boat is equipped with air conditioning\, large dining and lounge areas and an exclusive crew. Guests will enjoy their fishing dreams from the minute they step aboard and are able to fish more hours and for more species than in any other Caribbean destination. The flats skiffs pick us up right from the boat every morning and whisk us away to flats both within fifteen minutes and further away\, depending on what the anglers and guides decide they want to do for the day. \n \nWe have been offered a special rate of $6740 per angler which is a savings of $750 over the normal price of $7490. The rate includes transfers from Camaguey to Jucaro\, seven nights of lodging aboard the boat with all meals included\, five and three quarters days of fishing and transfers between Jucaro and Camaguey. Flights to Cuba\, other travel expenses\, gratuities for both fishing guides and boat staff\, a marine park conservation fee and other fees and costs are not included. \nIf you are interested\, please reach out to me at brian@deerfieldflyshop.com or by phone at 413-397-3665 and I am happy to provide more details about the trip. This is a truly unique opportunity in one of the most sought after fishing destinations in the world. I hope you can join us.

SUMMARY:Monster Redfish in Louisiana--Hosted Trip
DESCRIPTION:Redfish are rapidly becoming one of the most sought after species on a fly rod. And it’s no wonder why: these fish feed in shallow waters\, punch way above their weight class and live in stunning environments. \nFor redfish anglers\, December in Louisiana is about as good as it gets in both quantity and quality of fish. This time of year\, enormous bull reds come into the shallow marshes from the Gulf and feed actively on shrimp and baitfish. It is not unusual to cast to fish in excess of 20 pounds in water a foot deep or less. There are also trophy sized black drum and sheepshead\, both of which will readily take a fly as well. \n \nCome join me and a group of other anglers for a five night\, four day trip at Dogwood Lodge in Hopedale\, Louisiana. We have secured the prime dates of Dec. 8 to 13\, 2023. \nThe trip includes five nights lodging\, four full days of fishing from flats boats captained by some of Louisiana’s best fly fishing guides\, all beverages (including beer\, wine and alcohol) and meals (this is Louisiana so the food is going to be terrific!) and transportation to and from New Orleans. All you have to do is show up! \n \nThe Dogwood\, located about an hour outside of New Orleans\, is a re-purposed Coast Guard buoy tender with six cabins\, each with two twin beds and private bathrooms. It is docked right on the edge of the marsh. Each morning starts with a full Southern breakfast. Our guides will pick us up right at the lodge and take us to our day’s destination deep in the marshes. Bag lunches are provided and eaten while on the water. We will return to the Dogwood where there is a comfortable lounge and ample outdoor deck space to enjoy the sunset on the marsh. Dinner is prepared by the Dogwood’s full time chef and did I mention how good the food is? \n \nNew Orleans is one of America’s most unique cities: the birthplace of jazz\, home to Mardi Gras and Bourbon Street. One of my favorite things to do is roam the French Quarter and check out the street musicians and brass bands. I know I plan to spend at least a day or two on either end of the trip in the city soaking up the incredible music and culture and\, of course\, food! \nThe cost is still to be determined but will be between $3100 and $3500 based on double occupancy and two anglers per boat. Private rooms can be arranged for an additional $75 per night. This includes all meals\, drinks\, local transportation\, taxes and the guided fishing. Not included: Gratuities for the lodge staff and guides; Transportation to New Orleans; Fishing license fees. A deposit of half the total will be required to confirm your spot. \nPlease contact me\, Brian\, at brian@deerfieldflyshop.com or at 413-397-3665 to save your spot or for more information.

SUMMARY:Low Country Redfish
DESCRIPTION:The endless waters surrounding Charleston\, SC\, are teeming with redfish. In the fall\, these hard fighting fish come into the shallow marshes on the flood tides–those occasional high tides that are higher than average–where they can be found tailing for the shrimp and crabs knocked off their safe perch among the reeds by the advancing tide. Some of the flats the fish come into are only covered in water a couple times a month\, yet the slowly cruising redfish seek these areas out and casually tail their way through the spartina grass in search of their next meal. This is a truly magical time of year in an amazing fishery. \nWe have secured some of the best guides in the area for three days of targeting these redfish during prime flood tides on October 11 to 13. Each day\, we will be two anglers and one guide per boat as we center our trips around the peak of the morning high tide when these tailing fish are most visible and most susceptible to a well presented fly. We will have some off-tide fishing that can also be terrific as well as reds like to come up into skinny water at lower tides. \nRedfish are powerful fish. Most fish are in the three to ten pound range but we will have shots at larger fish as well. Because they are up in skinny water and face constant danger from predators like dolphins in addition to anglers\, these fish can be very cautious and demand a stealthy approach and delicate cast. Flies are generally moderately weighted crab and shrimp patterns that can be cast effectively on six to eight weight rods. When hooked\, redfish are some of the strongest fighting fish\, pound for pound–more than enough sport on an eight weight. \nWhen we are not on the flats looking for tails\, we will be staying in an Air B and B near all our launch points. We will also be a short Uber ride to downtown Charleston\, which is a thriving city with great restaurants\, shopping and nightlife\, not to mention all the history (the first shots of the Civil War were fired in Charleston Harbor) and natural beauty of the area. \nCost for this hosted trip is $2100 per angler and includes three days of guided flats boat fishing\, tip for the fishing guides\, three nights lodging\, some local transportation\, and communally prepared breakfasts and lunches for the three days of fishing. Airfare to Charleston\, dinners and beverages are not included. \nFor more on flood tide redfishing\, check out this great primer on Gink and Gasoline. \nPlease call the shop at 413-397-3665 or email brian@deerfieldflyshop.com for more information or with any questions.
