Skybound South is designed for anglers who want solitude, scenery and serious fish.

Expect brutes of browns and even bigger landscapes. Join our signature South Island fly fishing adventure where helicopters lift you into the alpine edge of New Zealand’s wilderness.

This is remote, sight-fishing at its finest, with shallow headwater creeks, gin-clear rivers, and wild trout that haven’t seen an artificial fly in weeks or perhaps even this season.

Led by our experienced host, backed by a trusted local guide, this 3-fishing day (plus two travel days) expedition is all about dialling in unforgettable time on the water - with a friend and the comfort of a rustic cabin and an open fire at day’s end.

Skybound South, our hosted South Island Heli-Fishing expedition, is scheduled for November 24–28, 2025. With two trips booked out already, this is our third heli-fish expedition – all in different South Island backcountry locations.

Hosted by Isolation Outfitters, Prime Patagonia is all about battle-tested techniques, quiet water, and big returns. Six rods max, expert guiding, and Wuijoor Lodge right on the riverbank.

Destination: Christmas & Fanning Islands
Dates: April 1–14, 2026 (Two weeks)
Focus: Big bonefish and giant trevally
Group size: Limited to six anglers

Description:
This is the ultimate bucket list expedition for committed saltwater fly anglers.

The Last Flats takes you deep into the South Pacific – first to the well-loved bonefish haven of Christmas Island (Kiritimati), where you’ll sharpen your flats game across CXI’s legendary coral edges and pancake white flats. Then, it’s off to the rarely visited, wildly remote Fanning Island (Tabuaeran) – a frontier fishery where double-digit bonefish, powerful giant trevally, and unpredictable triggerfish patrol untouched waters.

Over two unforgettable weeks, you’ll explore vast, under-pressured flats alongside a small group of like-minded anglers. Hosted by experienced fly angler and gear tester Southflyfisher, the journey is fully planned, logistically smoothed, and all about maximizing your time on the water – from classic bonefish sight-fishing to adrenaline-fueled GT encounters.

This is not your average lodge trip. It’s two weeks off the beaten track, where solitude, exploration, and monster fish converge. Spots are limited.

Destination: Xcalak, Costa Maya, Mexico
Dates: May 29-June 5, 2026 (Friday to Friday)
Focus: Permit, tarpon & bonefish, with bonus snook in the mix
Group size: Limited to six anglers

Description:
This isn’t just another week in the tropics – it’s a shot at one of the most coveted saltwater tallies in the game: the Costa Maya Slam. We’ve lined everything up including the guides to give you the best odds possible.

Xcalak is as far south as you can go in Mexico without slipping into Belize. It’s a sleepy village surrounded by some of the most productive and least-pressured flats in the Caribbean. On one side, the sheltered expanse of Chetumal Bay; on the other, the barrier reef and endless turtlegrass shallows. This is prime country for all three Grand Slam species – and you can add snook to the scoreboard.

Our home for the week is Costa de Cocos (with restaurant and bar), where days start with fresh coffee and end with cold beer and stories worth repeating. All meals and open bar included. The skiffs are fast, the guides are sharp, and the fishing is the kind that keeps you up the night before.

Six full days on the water mean plenty of chances to find cruising permit, roll casts at tarpon in quiet mangrove creeks, and watch bonefish tail in shin-deep water.

Every day is a new set of plays, and with a small crew of anglers and your host Southflyfisher in the mix, you’ll fish smarter, laugh harder, and enjoy some of the best water in Mexico.

If you’ve ever wanted a Slam, this is the trip you don’t sit out. The fish are here. The tide is right. The question is – will you be in?

Destination: Espiritu Santo Bay, Quintana Roo, Mexico
Dates: June 5-12, 2026 (Friday to Friday)
Focus: Permit, tarpon & bonefish of course
Group size: Limited to five anglers – plus your host and local guide team

Description:
This hosted expedition targets one of saltwater fly fishing’s most elusive trophies: the Grand Slam. We’ve picked the tides and the taste to maximise your chances.

Located in the southern reaches of the Yucatán Peninsula, Tail Inn Lodge sits in the remote village of Punta Herrero, perched on the edge of Espiritu Santo Bay. Protected as part of the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve, this fishery offers some of the Caribbean’s most pristine and least pressured saltwater flats.

Expect classic Grand Slam conditions: cruising permit on hard-bottomed flats, juvenile tarpon in quiet mangrove creeks, and bonefish tailing in ankle-deep water. With six full days on the water, your odds of ticking off all three in one day are real.

Grand Slam Mexico is not a resort-style trip – it’s based at a purpose-built fly fishing lodge with everything you need and nothing you don’t. That means less distractions, excellent guiding, and more time casting to targets.

Hosted by Southflyfisher, you’ll benefit from deep local insight, well-honed tackle tips, and a small crew of anglers just as obsessed as you.

Come ready to stalk tailing fish in wild, empty water – and maybe, just maybe, earn your Slam.

Destination: Aitutaki, Cook Islands, South Pacific Ocean
Dates: August 2026 (One week)
Focus: Trophy bonefish on idyllic South Pacific flats
Group size: Limited to four anglers - two guides and one host

Description:
Aitutaki is the definition of remote tropical beauty – turquoise lagoons, white sand motus (islets), and flats so clear they look retouched. But beneath the postcard surface lies one of the most exciting and challenging bonefish fisheries in the world.

These aren’t schoolies. Aitutaki’s bonefish are big — routinely in the 6–10 lb range, with some pushing well into double digits. They’re powerful, wily, and often solitary. You’ll be hunting true trophies in gin-clear water, often with your heart pounding and backing already disappearing.

Our hosted trip to the beautiful atoll of Aitutaki is designed for experienced anglers who want to combine island time with serious flats fishing.

You’ll be based on the main island with access to expert local guides and skiffs that get you quickly to the prime flats. Between sessions, unwind with fresh island food, cold beer, and lagoon views that don’t quit.

This is a trip that pairs world-class fly fishing with full immersion into Pacific island life – all planned by the team at Isolation Outfitters and hosted by Southflyfisher.

Think of it as your tropical reset button... with tailing bones.
