Hawkins Outfitters is committed to searching out and representing to you of the finest fly fishing destination travel spots in the world. First of all, the outfitters and lodges we represent we have been to. Most of them many times.

High quality angling coupled with great facilities makes for a top notch fly fishing vacation.

The Destinations

We are currently booking El Pescador Lodge in Belize, for saltwater flats fishing. In Patagonia we send clients to Rio Destination TravelManso Lodge near Bariloche, Patagonia and Andes Drifters in San Martin de los Andes, Patagonia, Argentina. Finally we book Alaska bound clients into Katmai Lodge, because it is one of the finest in Alaska.

Their History

Both Rio Manso and El Pescador are past winners of the International destination of the Year by Orvis. Andes Drifters is hands down the finest outfitter in Northern Patagonia, Argentina. They offer a diverse, quality selection of fishing, adventure and lifestyle vacations. San Martin seems like one of the prettiest places in the world. At Katmai Lodge one of our guides, Jeff Topp is the head guide. He’s been guiding there for twenty years! Hence, we are very comfortable booking anglers with these lodges.

The Programs

Hawkins Outfitters will book you in any of these lodges. Chuck Hawkins has been to all four of these destinations many times. His experience will help you make your trip more enjoyable. Therefore what equipment, which flies, which guide to reserve, travel details, and weather preparation will all be addressed. In addition, activities for non-anglers will be covered when you book through Hawkins Outfitters.

Destination TravelHosted Trips

Finally, you may also spend your destination travel budget joining Hawkins Outfitters on a hosted trip. Either Chuck Hawkins or Jon Ray will join you and a group of anglers during a prime time trip at one of these lodges. We will provide you with all the necessary information as outlined above.
