Trips From the Past
        
Although we no longer offer the trips described in these articles, the stories remain available for your information and enjoyment.  We've stopped running these trips for a variety of reasons.  In some cases the fisheries have been depleted, in others, the facilities have gone out of business and in a few, current governments have made travel less attractive.  The fish, however, always remain interesting, so why not read and learn about them and the fishing experience they provide.  Who knows, governments may change, conservation practices may improve and facilities may reopen.  We just might end up returning there, or someplace like it, in the future.
