Let us share the regions we pioneered…some over three decades ago and a number much more recently!

Frontiers was one of the very first fishing travel companies into New Zealand, South America and Africa. We have helped establish some of the premier angling programs south of the Equator in places like Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego, the Amazon Basin, New Zealand’s North and South Islands and even Africa’s Okavango Delta, Lake Victoria and the Zambezi River.

Experience, knowledge and an unwavering commitment to customer service are important – especially when planning travel to remote international locales. Our 16 Fly Fishing Travel Specialists have nearly 400 years of fishing travel experience. We have a unique ability to compare and contrast options to ensure that you have an unforgettable experience based upon your budget, accommodation preferences and travel objectives. Based on our vast in-field travels, Frontiers professionals can add many other wonderful experiences for the non-angling companion.

We often beat prices (even online) and at Frontiers, we have access and clout that you simply cannot get by booking direct or booking through a smaller travel company.

Argentina 6

Argentina WHEN TROUT WERE FIRST BROUGHT TO ARGENTINA AND STOCKED IN THE RIVERS AROUND SAN MARTIN DE LOS ANDES AND BARILOCHE MORE THAN 100 YEARS AGO, no one could foresee what a boon this would be to fly fishermen. Trout flourished in the nutrient-rich waters and spread to other rivers and lakes. Over time, local attitudes changed from subsistence fishing to recreational sport fishing, and eventually this led to actions meant to protect rivers, including the practice of catch-and-release. Now fly fishermen from all over the world come to catch trout in Argentina’s pristine waters.

Amazing rivers like the Malleo, Collon Cura, Chimehuin and the Traful, as well as the welcoming lodges and delicious Argentine cuisine ensure the country’s growing popularity among fly fishermen.

Argentina Patagonia Outfitters founder, Jorge Trucco, prepping for a day on the Limay River in Argentina

Jorge Trucco and Patagonia Outfitters Providing Clients with an Authentic Argentina Experience Since 1979 Jorge Trucco’s ambition and drive led him to become a fly fishing guide and to work with estancia owners to create the first fishing lodges in the San Martín de los Andes area of Argentina. He was a force in establishing catch-andrelease on the rivers he fished in order to protect resources for future generations. Frontiers teamed up with Jorge and his Patagonia Outfitters more than 30 years ago to provide the traveling angler access to the best lodges on the best rivers, using the best local guides. Jorge and his staff work hard to make sure that every experience in Argentina is the best it can be.

We customize virtually all of our Patagonia itineraries, combining two and sometimes three different estancias.

Unless otherwise noted, the cost for 4-night packages at these lodges ranges from $3,400–$3,560 per person for double occupancy / shared guide. Shorter and longer itineraries are available. n

Limay River Lodge Prolific Tailwater Trout Fishing in Northern Patagonia, Neuquén Province Uniquely and privately situated 43 miles downriver from the town of Piedra del Águila on the southern bank of the middle Limay River, the Limay River Lodge awaits. Targeting larger-than-average river rainbows, browns and fall migratory brown trout, the Limay meshes big water drift fishing with ample walk-and-wade opportunities.

In a region of small farming and ranching towns, Limay River Lodge has the unique distinction of being the only destination fishing lodge on the banks of this tail water with exclusive put-in access and 10 breathtaking beats.

Fishing: The Limay’s power has been harnessed for hydroelectric production, creating Patagonia’s finest tail water.

A freestone river featuring gravel flats, braids, riffles and sheer cliff walls, the Limay is optimally targeted by a fleet of Hyde drift boats on 10 beats offered by Patagonia Outfitters.

Accommodation: Steps from the riverbank, the lodge blends with the vast surrounding beauty of Patagonia. The courtyard surrounds a grand fire pit, a focal point and gathering place where fish stories and Malbec abound. In the kitchen, Yolvi and his well-versed staff feature Argentine and international fare.

Rates: For the 2016–2017 season, rates are $890 per night per person for double occupancy / shared guide. Single supplements apply; contact Frontiers for more information. n Call Frontiers 1-800-245-1950 | +44 (0)845 299 6212 in the UK | www.frontierstravel.com

Estancia Quemquemtreu

Clear Water Stalk Fishing near San Carlos de Bariloche, Northern Patagonia

A Traditional Working Estancia Featuring Vast Stretches of the Collon Cura River

This aristocratic estancia nestled between Bariloche and San Martín is renowned for elegant, Old World accommodations and hospitality. A crystal-clear midsized freestone, the Traful River courses from Lago Traful to the Limay River. The river presents large local rainbows and browns, migratory trout, and landlocked salmon. Prolific hatches and ample terrestrials make this stream ideal for New Zealand–type stalk fishing for trophy trout. n

This freshly renovated yet richly authentic estancia of nearly 200,000 acres offers just 10 anglers vast access to the Rio Collon Cura—a sprawling, low-gradient river offering scenic daylong float trips in modern drift boats with ample wading. Ranch river access features over 30 kilometers with little to no fishing pressure, as this semiarid-climate freestone is reminiscent of the Snake River in Wyoming but void of other fishermen. Work a hatch or mine shorelines with terrestrials for acrobatic big water rainbows and bulky brown trout into double digits. n

Fine regional cuisine welcomes anglers home after a day of exploring this distant Patagonia frontier.

The comfortable and elegant Villa Maria River House awaits anglers at mid-day with welcomed shelter and some of the finest cuisine in Argentina

Villa Maria Lodge Sea-Run Brown Trout on the Exclusive Lower Rio Grande / Tierra del Fuego This six-guest lodge on the lower reaches of the Rio Grande is sold out annually and for years to come. Frontiers, however, has weeks designated exclusively for our clients. Situated on the Estancia José Menéndez, where the river broadens and pools become long slicks of “trouty” holding water, Villa Maria offers anglers the first shot at fish entering the system fresh from the sea.

Fishing: Fishermen will encounter nickel-bright sea-runs on strictly controlled estancia water. This lower stretch appeals to confident casters, and anglers familiar with two-handed rods do well. Sea-run brown trout fishing is about covering water and reaching the far bank, so come prepared.

Accommodation: Villa Maria Lodge offers six bedrooms and bathrooms for just six guests weekly in a small, intimate venue. Each day, anglers relish traditional Argentine waterfront meals and siesta at the River House perched high on a bluff affording a stunning view of the fabled Rio Grande.

Rates: Rates and inclusions vary weekly from $5,950–$10,950 per person on a Friday–Friday rotation. Please contact Frontiers for limited space availability and specific week costs and details. Rio Grande fishing licenses are $350 per week per person. n

The First and Absolutely Foremost Lodge on the Rio Grande / Tierra del Fuego Hosting only 10–12 anglers weekly, Kau Tapen has the distinction of being the matriarch sea-run lodge on the Rio Grande, which cradles over 80 famous pools on her serpentine riverbanks. Anglers are offered two or more beats daily, affording a pleasantly daunting amount of water to fish exclusively. Internationally acclaimed chef and host staff cater to all wants and needs, selecting the finest ingredients and regional wines to complement the service.

Argentina

Kau Tapen Lodge

Fishing: Unlike some anadromous fish, these sea-runs ascend the river in multiple pushes, not in one or two set runs, so fishing is productive all season. The serpentine nature of the river enables guides to use the famous winds to anglers’ advantage, presenting swung flies to the world’s largest sea trout.

Accommodation: Recently renovated, the lodge offers 10 bedrooms with en suite bathroom; single rooms are guaranteed mid-January–mid-March. A glass-lined patio, a sauna, a steam room and ample comfortable areas to spread out and relax between sessions make Kau Tapen a premier destination lodge.

Rates: Rates and inclusions vary weekly from $5,950–$9,550 per person on a Saturday–Saturday rotation. Please contact Frontiers for limited space availability and specific week costs and details. Rio Grande fishing licenses are $350 per week per person. n

Shore lunch in the Laguna Verde quincho on Lake Strobel, Southern Patagonia

Estancia Laguna Verde Goliath Rainbow Trout in Santa Cruz Province, Southern Patagonia, Argentina The Brontosauruses of rainbow trout inhabit the lakes and rivers of Estancia Laguna Verde, and if you like to hunt for the big ones there is no better spot on earth. Fishing here in early and late season allows for behemoths New Zealand–style in the Barrancoso River and in the famous lake. Midseason fishing will find you wading the shallow bays and inlets for these cruising leviathans. Retire to the relaxed lodge; courteous staff and hearty meals round out this unique fishing adventure in this vast lonely region of Patagonia.

Fishing: Fish Strobel Lake, Barrancoso River or one of the other 12 lagunas and creeks on the ranch for oversized rainbows. Regardless of where you find them, when you hook one you are in for some “reel” heart-pounding, tugof-war action on the uninhabited windswept water and pampas of Santa Cruz.

Accommodation: The estancia lodges up to 10 guests in seven double rooms with en suite bathroom. Single rooms are available upon request for a surcharge. Amenities include satellite TV, lodge computer / Wi-Fi, a tying table and a spacious drying room. Argentine wines and regional microbrews complement ample meals.

Rates: For 2016–2017, rates for fishing packages are as follows: 4-night / 3-day $3,100; 5-night / 4-day $3,850; and 7-night / 6-day $5,200 per person for shared accommodation / shared guide and including El Calafate transfers. n

Chile 20

A DEEP, CRYSTAL-CLEAR LAKE QUIETLY HOLDS THE REFLECTION OF ANCIENT GLACIERS. Suddenly, a 5-pound rainbow trout leaps out of the water to catch a passing dragonfly. Not far away, the lake becomes a river, and in one of its many eddies dozens of trout feed on emerging caddis flies. Stands of bamboo and fuchsia flowers blow in the gentle breeze of this temperate rainforest climate. High on a mountain ridge, a gaucho on horseback tends his sheep and shifts in his saddle to look east over the wide valley and the winding river below where an angler casts his line.

Chile is a land of breathtaking beauty punctuated by the impressive Andes mountain range. To the east, its rivers flow through semiarid land used to graze cattle and sheep, while the waters in the west make their way to the Pacific Ocean through the thick foliage of temperate rainforests.

Yet in this land of extremes, there is one constant: excellent fly fishing. Frontiers clients returning from Chile rave about fishing on water nearly devoid of other anglers. Their stories of catching large trout from lakes and stalking cruising fish in small spring creeks are what fly fishermen dream about.

The lodges we represent in Chile offer the best in service, accommodations and cuisine, perfectly complementing a productive day on the water.

Let us help plan your own Chilean fishing experience.

Futa Lodge is perfect for those who like a small lodge setting, excellent service and accommodations and scenery of almost indescribable beauty.

The brothers are not only skilled fly fishing guides but also accomplished naturalists. Their three lodges in Chile have become synonymous with quality accommodations, top-shelf cuisine and excellent fishing.

At the Fundo el Salto, constructed from a renovated farmhouse near Puerto Montt, guests will fish the beautiful Rio PetrohuĂŠ for brown and rainbow trout. Farther south sits the Estancia de los Rios.

This massive 360,000-acre, privately owned ranch features miles of unpressured fishing on the upper Rio Cisnes. Finally, the Chilean Fjords trip allows four fly fishers to target large trout in one of the most remote and undisturbed areas of Chile.

The Chilean Fjords, part of the Dufflocq Collection, are a vast area of coastal valleys with beautiful meandering rivers and forested mountains that plunge into a calm inland sea far from the open ocean.

Brazil

The Brazilian Amazon River Basin is a mosaic of fertile ecosystems.

The Brazilian Amazon river basin is a mosaic of fertile ecosystems. The river, the world’s largest in terms of volume and second longest after the Nile, bursts with peacock bass and many other exotic species such as arapaima and payara. More than 1,100 tributaries flow through the rainforest to the Amazon, providing life for diverse flora and fauna.

A fascinating culture combines with the rich ecosystem to make a trip to the Amazon Basin an unparalleled experience. The bustling port of Manaus provides an introduction to the waterways that crisscross Brazil and is the starting point for adventurers who have come to discover fishing at its finest. Nowhere else will anglers find a more productive fishery or a more voracious and animated aquatic predator than the Amazon’s peacock bass. Of all the incredible game fish, including arowana and payara, the peacock bass’s violent strike, brute strength and astonishing ability to break heavy lines and straighten hooks makes it one of the most sought after species.

Exploring the home of thousands of exotic animals and bird species, experiencing the seclusion of the rainforest, trekking into the dense jungle and feeling the adrenaline rush when a trophy peacock goes airborne— whatever the dream, the Amazon can make it real. n

River Plate Anglers Peacock Bass Fishing in Remote Amazon Rivers via Innovative Shallow Water Techno For fly and conventional fishers, mobility and the capability to bypass low water and natural barriers is the key to untapped peacock bass fishing in the most remote reaches of Brazil’s Amazon Basin.

Antarctica

The last frontier–who hasn’t dreamed of visiting Antarctica? The name is a spell that conjures images of adventure and surreal beauty. An Antarctic cruise is an investment; most are costly in both time and fares, but the experience is a rare treasure. Like all investments, this one is worth planning ahead and obtaining the proper advice.

Patagonia Explore the Eagle Glacier with Australis Cruises

Tierra del Fuego and Cape Horn are so remote that the only way to properly explore their rugged landscape of fjords, glaciers, and wild islands is by sea. Australis Cruises are not only the best way to see the southern tip of Patagonia, they also provide the most convenient route between Punta Arenas, Chile and Ushuaia, Argentina.

Amazon River

The only way to truly experience the Amazon is by river cruise, and the best place to schedule your journey is Peru. We suggest Delfin Amazon Cruises and Aqua Expeditions. Both cruises provide an authentic experience of the wildlife and local culture along with cabins so decadent and spacious they put many hotels to shame.

Home to 8 of the 10 tallest peaks in the world, the tiny mountain kingdom of Nepal, ringed by the Himalayas, is a land of contrasts harboring a wealth of Buddhist and Hindu art and architecture. The colorful capital city Kathmandu—at once ancient and modern, natural and urban— reflects 2000 years of truly peaceful coexistence, producing a unique blend of Hinduism and Buddhism that is distinctly Nepalese in character.

Nepal is nearly 75% mountainous while its Terai region is fertile, lowlying, hot and humid. Once covered with dense forest that supported only wildlife, recent years have seen deforestation, making this area the hub of a growing population. n

There are many iconic journeys in the world, but there is only one true adventure that spans the continuum of time—the journey along the Silk Road. This is a travel experience that transcends history. The very name “Silk Road” conjures up a kaleidoscope of images: caravans, desert dunes, lost cities, palaces, and the mystery of Cathay. Traders, travelers, pilgrims and dreamers have traveled this transcontinental golden road that once linked the Roman Empire with the imperial majesty of Han Dynasty China. Set forth on a specially designed journey that will take you across the Chinese Silk Road into Uzbekistan, the lost world of Samarkand and Sogdiana, the ancient land that served as the great marketplace between East and West. n

New Zealand Trophy Trout Fishing Down Under Since the introduction of trout into New Zealand in the late 1800s, the country has emaerged as a favorite angling destination. Fishermen from all over recognize New Zealand as the world’s best wild trophy trout fishery. The majority of the rivers on both the North and South islands are known for their clarity, and their reputation draws travelers from far and wide in search of giant trout.

A trout fishery that requires more technical skills than most, New Zealand is not known for the quantity, diversity or ease of catching found in other trout waters. But to the fly fishing purist, it is heaven on earth. A good day on a New Zealand stream may yield only six trout, but they will be gorgeous, healthy, averaging from 3 to 8 pounds and caught under the most spectacular conditions.

Stalking trophy wild browns and rainbows while casting dry flies and nymphs in water as clear as the air is challenging, absorbing and addictive—it’s a style unique to New Zealand.

Fly fishing in New Zealand is all about making the most of opportunities for trophy trout; seeing them before they see you, positioning to make that one perfect cast and presenting the perfect fly. Frontiers works with the finest lodges, outfitters and guides in New Zealand, and we have a passion for this unique and extremely rewarding angling experience. We look forward to sharing it with you. n

Land of the Long White Cloud The “Green” city of Auckland welcomes visitors

When the Maori people sailed their canoes across the Pacific to New Zealand, they saw the geysers and volcanic activity of the North Island and the expansive, snow-covered Southern Alps that form the spine of the South Island. They named this land “Aotearoa” (Land of the Long White Cloud) and made it their home. Centuries later, the Europeans arrived.

Homesick for the Crown, they bestowed familiar names on the areas in which they settled: Christchurch, Wellington, Queenstown and New Plymouth. The New Zealand we visit today is an amalgam of these two cultures, molded by the fabric of this diverse landscape.

New Zealand is blessed with stunning alpine vistas, golden beaches, rocky sea cliffs and verdant meadows and hillsides where sheep graze placidly.

The visitor, initially overwhelmed by its beauty, soon discovers that the people exude a warm hospitality unlike anything he or she is likely to have experienced elsewhere. New Zealand always has more delightful sights to discover, for first-time visitors and for those making their tenth trip.

The North Island The varied landscape of the North Island fascinates those who visit.

Journey north to see the picturesque harbors, rugged beaches and expansive kauri forests of the Bay of Islands. In the south, rolling farm country, Pacific Coast scenery, fruitful vineyards and the capital city of Wellington shape the region’s complexion. Approximately two-thirds of the country’s indigenous people, the Maori, live on the North Island, centered predominantly in the Rotorua and Taupo regions.

To explore the central North Island is to experience its volcanic heart.

Here, travelers will see the active mud pools and geysers of Rotorua, dig their own hot thermal bath at Hot Water Beach and walk the active volcanic pathways of White Island. The Tongariro Crossing, dubbed one of the top 10 day hikes in the world, crosses the multi-cratered volcanic terrain of Mount Tongariro.

The country has many activities for nonfishers

The South Island The majesty of the Southern Alps sets the stage for the scenic splendor of the South Island. These awesome mountains run the length of the island and breathtaking vistas appear around every turn. This is paradise for the hiker and outdoor enthusiast whose choices are limited only by time and energy. Enjoy a one-day hike on the Queen Charlotte Walkway at the island’s top end, or go for the granddaddy of all New Zealand treks: the six-day hike across the fabled Milford Track in Southland.

Those looking for gentler pursuits should check out the region’s top-class vineyards. The sauvignon blanc of the Marlborough vineyards takes a back seat to no other. Further south, the Otago region’s pinot noir has put New Zealand reds on the map. Visit genteel Christchurch, the city that most reflects the country’s Anglican heritage. Christchurch is known as the “garden city” for good reason. It’s also home to a stunning art center.

There is something to satisfy everyone’s interest on the South Island. We would love to customize a trip that fits your needs and interests. n Blanket Bay Lodge

Explore This Unique Wilderness Island Crisscrossed by rivers, lakes and shallow lagoons called tarns, Tasmania’s immaculate environment attracts fishermen from around the world who seek to pit their skills against the guile of the wild trout. This beautiful island’s most productive waters are the broad, crystal-clear lakes where big wild trout feed on abundant mayfly and caddis hatches. In the mornings and evenings, the mayflies and caddis flies hatch in droves and rise off the water like steam. Trout gorge themselves on the insects, ready and willing to devour whatever they find in front of them.

Fish Tasmania

Trout fishing in Tasmania is often compared to stalking flats for bonefish, not only due to its broad, shallow waters, but because anglers walk the edge of the lagoons looking for browns and rainbows that are on the rise or tailing.

One of our top outfitters in Tasmania, Ken Orr

Tasmania fly fishing is at its best from mid- to-late November through February, though most waters remain open until the end of April.

Outfitters represented by Frontiers include Ken Orr’s TASMANIA TROUT EXPEDITIONS and Peter Hayes of Tasmania’s PREMIER FLY FISHING GUIDES. n

Australia offers some of the finest brackish and saltwater fishing in the world. From barramundi to black marlin, we have the best captains, outfitters and lodges on the continent. Please refer to the 2017 Saltwater Guide for additional details.

Australia — “A Fair Dinkum Land” When an Aussie says that something is “fair dinkum,” it means it’s the genuine article. We think that Australia is a “fair dinkum” place to visit!

This vast land, a country as big as the United States and a continent in its own right, has something to offer everyone. Ask a random sampling of folks where they would travel if they had a choice of any place in the world, and it’s a fair bet that a large percentage would choose Australia.

For many, Australia seems so far away they can only dream of visiting, but the overnight flight is a small price to pay for the wonders waiting on the other side of the Pacific.

Sydney, a world-class city for art and culture

When a traveler does commit to make the journey, it’s important to decide what to see and experience. For those interested in the aboriginal culture, a visit to Kakadu National Park, the Daintree Rainforest (one of the largest still in existence) or the Great Barrier Reef, the Australian winter (May to October) is the best time to visit. Those who want to see Sydney or Melbourne, drive the Great Ocean Road or get up close and personal with indigenous wildlife on Kangaroo Island should plan to visit during the summer (November to April).

Most of the images associated with Africa include endless plains dotted with wildebeest, Maasai warriors silhouetted against the horizon, spectacular sunsets, boundless African skies, palm-fringed white beaches, adventurous rivers and snow-capped mountains. Each of these visions can be experienced in the countries which make up the bulk of East Africa-Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Uganda.

• Kenya, the birthplace of the original safari, still holds a fascination and romance that lingers from the days of Karen Blixen and Denys Finch-Hatton.

Stay in small bush homes owned by iconic safari figures.

• The annual Great Migration of millions of wildebeest and zebra between the Serengeti and the Masai Mara remains as one of the most incredible spectacles in the world. This marvellous sight can be viewed every month of the year.

• Picnic on the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater, home to a permanent population of more than 30,000 animals. This is one of the few places in Africa where travelers stand a good chance of seeing the Big Five in the course of one game drive.

• Trek through mountains to sit among and watch the social interaction of habituated chimpanzees and gorillas. n
