A hosted saltwater fly-fishing trip is one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make in time, money, and anticipation. One week on the flats isn't exactly inexpensive once you add flights, tips, and gear. Before you pull the trigger on that bucket-list adventure, come spend a full day with us at Red’s Fly Shop & Canyon River Lodge and get every question answered by anglers who’ve actually done it—dozens of times. This is your zero-pressure chance to separate hype from reality and walk away truly ready for the flats or the beach.

Attendees will get direct access to experienced saltwater anglers like Steve Joyce, Jon Covich, Joe Rotter and others who are willing to explain, help, and coach and mentor. Finish up the day with a cold beer and dinner at Canyon River Grill. Totally worth the trip.

We’ll dive deep into everything that makes or breaks a saltwater trip: double-haul clinics on the grass, leader and fly selection for permit, bonefish, tarpon, and roosterfish, stripping techniques that don’t shred your fingers, packing lists that keep you under airline weight limits, navigating customs and immigration like a pro, tipping etiquette, and even how to choose the right lodge and guide for your skill level and budget. You’ll leave with checklists, diagrams, and confidence—whether you ultimately book with us or somewhere else.
