Camp Bonaventure, Quebec, Canada
$1,795 CAD DBL per day (includes 14.9% tax)
We’ve just received the updated availability at Camp Bonaventure for the 2025 season and there is still some nice space for July of 2025. For those who are interested in a quality Atlantic Salmon experience, without leaving North America, Quebec’s Camp Bonaventure really is an excellent option. Located right in the heart of Québec’s Gaspé Peninsula, this part of Quebec boasts some of the finest and most renowned Atlantic salmon rivers in the world. Camp Bonaventure provides its guests the opportunity to fish over 80 miles of three fabled Atlantic salmon rivers. The Bonaventure is legendary for its water clarity and its sight casting opportunities, where underwater visibility exceeds 150 feet. The Petite Cascapedia is known for its gin clear picturesque pools holding big salmon and huge brookies, and the world famous Grand Cascapedia, where salmon in the forty-plus pound class are not uncommon.
For Americans, with the USD dollar so strong compared to the CDN dollar, this represents a saving of over 30% on the trip, making it a great time to fish this fantastic operation.

St. Brandon's Atoll, Mauritius
$10,600 USD DBL 10 nights with 7 days of fishing
$18,500 USD DBL 17 nights with 14 days of fishing
For anyone looking for a “Big Adventure” trip, St. Brandon’s Atoll in Mauritius, should be at or near the top of your list. St Brandon’s Atoll is comprised of a vast network of sand flats, coral ridges and channels running through a myriad of unparalleled angling opportunities. The exquisite flats that dominate the landscape are predominantly made up of white hard packed sand and coral base. For those who love to wade and site cast to large bonefish and permit in
skinny water, there are few more gratifying fisheries on earth. In terms of species, St Brandon’s offers some of the finest big bone fishing opportunities that we know of. Fish up to 15 pounds have been caught over the past several years with larger fish occasionally seen and cast to. St. Brandon’s also offers some of the best Indo Pacific permit fishing found anywhere, along with the opportunity to target some absolutely massive GT’s.

Global Live Aboards
Prices and Dates Vary
The live aboard concept for a fishing trip has slowly worked its way into mainstream angling consciousness and is now a highly respected method of accessing and enjoying some of the most difficult-to-reach, yet productive fishing areas. Gone are the days when anglers had to sacrifice comfort to enjoy a week on a live- aboard operation and at Slipstream, we are big believers in the live-aboard angling experience. This kind of trip generally means more time on the water, shorter runs out to the fishing grounds, long days, new water and a highly flexible schedule. Slipstream Angling offers live-aboard trips to Australia, The Bahamas, Brazil, Cuba, Costa Rica, Mexico and The Seychelles. Each of these trips are as distinct as their locations and we are here to offer advice on which location is right for our anglers based on what your trip priorities may include.

Copper River Lodge, Alaska
June 15-21, 2025
$9,750 USD DBL | 6 slots available
For anyone thinking about a Rainbow Trout trip to Alaska in 2025, a rare opportunity has just come available at the Copper River Lodge, the week of June 15-21, 2025. This early season week is a superb experience from start to finish and while the Copper River is renowned for its Sockeye Salmon run, this week is early enough in the season where anglers can focus exclusively on targeting big rainbows. Fish over 20 inches are caught daily and fish up to 27 inches were caught by our group there last month. Nymphing, streamers and dry fly techniques will be utilized during the week and this time fame and location are one of the few places in Alaska where guests can do a decent amount of selective site fishing to specific fish. The Rainbows on the Copper and its tributaries fight harder than just about anywhere we know of and anglers will need reels with a decent amount of backing on them. With only 6 slots available per week, the June 15-21, 2025 dates at Copper River Lodge are ideal for a group or family who would like the lodge to themselves.
Every American angler should make the pilgrimage to Alaska at least once and Copper River Lodge is as good as it gets.

Aqua Boa Lodge, Brazil
Fall 2024 | $6,950 USD DBL
Winter 2025 | $8,050 USD DBL
If you are looking for a trip this fall or coming winter but are looking for something a little different, there is still some nice availability during the Fall 2024 and Winter 2025 seasons at Aqua Boa Lodge, Brazil. If you’ve ever thought about a Peacock trip to the Amazon, Aqua Boa Lodge is an absolute no brainer.
The Aqua Boa Lodge is located in the middle stretch of the remarkable Aqua Boa River, in the Brazilian state of Roraima. It provides fly fishermen access to over 100 miles of river. It is the only Fly-Fishing Only River in the Amazon, so, unlike some rivers, the fishing stays very fresh throughout the season. The Aqua Boa fishery revolves around lagoons, inland lakes, and the river channel. The Aqua Boa is home to all three species of Peacock Bass - the Butterfly Peacock, the Spotted Peacock and the Temensis Peacock. The lodge is charming, well laid out and very Brazilian. Clients stay in individual bungalows that are air conditioned, comfortable and nicely furnished. The lodge has every amenity imaginable. There is a phone/fax line, wireless internet, satellite TV, a well stocked library, 24-hour electricity, a game room, swimming pool, fully stocked bar and great indoor and outdoor eating area.
Just a great all-around experience from
start to finish.
