Welcome to Angling Escapes!

Angling Escapes is dedicated to insuring that your angling needs are matched with the very best possible destination for each and every fishing trip you dream about. 

Angling Escapes is about listening to you, understanding your expectations, your past experiences, your sense of adventure and realizing that trips can be about more than just fishing, like time with families and friends, or unique scenery and wildlife.  And it's about treating you like the intelligent consumer that you are.

Our website is designed around two simple questions: what species of fish do you want to catch or what location do you want to fish.  You can go anywhere on the site based on either of those questions.  Just click on either species or location at the top of each page and you are on your way.

On each lodge page there is also a handy list along the left hand side linking you to other pages on the site that offer similar type fishing. If you like bonefish, there are three or four suggestions about options you might consider. If it's trout in our American West, we also suggest Argentina or New Zealand, because those spots are great trout destinations during our too cold to fish winter season.

Don't forget to check out the Updates section, where we'll post news and reports from a wide variety of sources, including our staff, field correspondents and clients.  If we find out about some special pricing, it'll be there as well. 

Our tips section contains simple ideas that we hope will make your trips more fun and easier.  It's an open ended forum-if you have a tip, share it with us and we'll post it so others can benefit from your experience as well.

I've been booking international fishing trips for over 25 years, so I'm biased.  I think working with an agent is vital in a world where information is so readily available but experience about how to sort out that information is not.  Our service is free-the camp rate you pay is the same as if you booked directly with the lodge. We don't own a lodge, we simply represent them and thus have no need to push one facility over another. Our only goal is to get you matched with the best place for your needs, not try to fit the one spot we own to match every possible situation. Angling Escapes works extra hard to insure that we have the best possible destinations to offer, and that our service is professional every step of the process.

I hope that once you have explored our site that you'll allow us to arrange your next trip.
