You, a few friends or family members, time on the beach or river and a lifetime of memories.  “Exclusivity” has its benefits.  No, we do not mean “the practice of excluding or not admitting other things” we are referring to reserving a small fishing lodge for just your friends or family, and Frontiers has a number of destinations world-wide that fit just the ticket.  Below we have composed just a few of the dozens of world-wide opportunities Frontiers has to offer. And yes . . . we have been there and done it.

Brooks Creek Ranch – Fernie British Columbia – wade and drift the famous Elk River and surrounding tributaries fishing almost exclusively dry-flies for eager cutthroat trout always looking toward the surface.

1. 6 to 8 anglers can have the week and lodge exclusively. With 6-bedroom suites smaller groups can have single rooms gratis.
2. Brooks Creek is great for a group of experienced trout anglers wanting to cover water in the Canadian Rockies or for families with novice anglers alike.
3. Add a National Park or Rodeo– with easy access from Kalispell and Whitefish, Montana Glacier National Park (USA) or Waterton Lakes National Park (Canada) are an easy addition to the adventure.  Want to see a world-famous rodeo? Book around the Calgary Stampede or one of the many music festivals in Calgary, Alberta Canada.

Pira Lodge and Suinda Lodge Combination – Iberia Marsh and Parana River, Corrientes Province Argentina – The full Argentine Golden Dorado experience on two totally unique water systems in one action packed week.

1. These lodges are small capacity and ideal for an exclusive group of anglers, angling couples, a family or angling and non-angling groups – they cover the gamut.
2. Charter opportunities directly to lodge runway at Pira makes for a quick trip from Buenos Aires and plenty of time to enjoy the lodge or water on arrival day.  A drive from lodge-to-lodge mid-week is scenic and the fishing day is decided on-site to determine which system will be fishing that day logistically coordinated with the transfer.
3. Both lodges are amazing jungle accommodations with all the creature comforts such as AC, WI-FI, plunge pools and fine dining accompanied by superior Argentine wines.
4. Pira’s location in the placid Iberia marsh is rich with ample number of dorado chased from a Hells Bay flats skiff poled by tenured guides – cruising fish, ambush spots, streamers and top-water musing – Pira offers it all.  At Suinda the mighty Parana tailwater is as wide as the Mississippi littered with islands, sand flats and jungle channels teaming with fruit eating Pacu, sipping Pira Pita under the jungle verenza and larger but more elusive Dorado – a true jungle grand slam destination.
