It doesn’t matter where you’re fishing, be it Alaska, Argentina or Montana, a float trip day adds a great deal to the overall fly-fishing experience. You get to cover and fish so much water on a float day and because you are usually being piloted by an excellent guide who knows the water intimately, you have the opportunity to pick his or her brain throughout the day, which often leads to learning new things and becoming a better angler.

Greetings and salutations to all our friends! Last month we had a guest experience one of those difficult and unwanted travel situations where a forgotten knife in his carry on set off a series of events that led to him getting fully ripped apart in a TSA private screening room. As a result, he missed his flight and subsequently, the first day of fishing on his trip. This got me thinking that it might be a good idea to go over a few helpful travel tips so that guests can avoid this type of situation.
