Our group led fly fishing trips continue to prove popular and we look forward to personally hosting you in many of the destinations in which we arrange fishing holidays. We have found that hosted trips provide an excellent opportunity for clients wishing to avoid single supplements, to join a group of like-minded enthusiasts and have an instructor on hand to help. Fishing abroad for the first time can sometimes be a little intimidating and travelling with a group removes much of the hassle. As the lodge or boat is usually taken exclusively, there’s often more flexibility afforded during the week to look for other species and try something a little different if you would like to. Below are a few of the adventures that you can join Aardvark McLeod on in 2026.
