For a regenerative experience, book the Blue Tower suite at the Gleneagles Hotel in Perthshire, Scotland. Guests will receive a full Scottish breakfast, expert advice during two hours of trout fishing and a three-course table d’hôte dinner. And should your fishing foray be a success, the chef will happily cook up the catch of the day ($4,108 a night for two people; gleneagles.com).
Beginning in November, Huka Lodge in Taupo, New Zealand, will offer a new “Fly-Fishing—The Ultimate” package, which pairs anglers with expert guides who will share their knowledge of the local rivers and streams. The package also includes a helicopter ride to a secret location where the size of the catch is legendary ($32,603 for two adults staying one week); thehukaretreats.com).
But for the fly-fishing experience of a lifetime, anglers should board the intimate luxury cruise ship the Atmosphere to explore the Patagonia region of Chile. A helicopter stowed onboard will fly them to secluded spots, and an array of watercraft allow adventurous fishers to navigate the region’s rivers on their own ($15,000 per person per week; nomadsoftheseas.com). That means no excuses for the one that got away.
