A fly fishing trip is usually scheduled by fly fishers in order to fly fish, however, before going to the fly fishing trip it is a great advantage to choose a fly fishing guide who can offer you some more leisure activities besides fly fishing. Specially, if you are going to travel with family members and they are not much enthusiastic in fly fishing as you are, this is a must to choose a fly fishing guide with some more offers.
The next important factor is about facilitating you during the trip. A good fly fishing guide should not only provide a good Hotel or lodge for you, but the fly fishing equipments and offers such as the native flies that work well in that region, tackle rental opportunities, photography during your fishing, etc. It is really important in particular when your main purpose of the trip is not fly fishing trip. You may want to fly fish in weekend during a business trip. In fact, you can not bring your entire fly fishing stuff in a business trip. So, the rented tackle from a guide can help you this way.
Furthermore, you may want to tie your own flies and match the hatch with your own creations. Thus, a lodge with a tying room can be an advantage for you. For fly fishing in Chile, the fly fishing lodge is one of those that offers a tying room for fly fishers and guides you to tie your own flies according to that region flies.
Some fly fishing lodges offer guide as an optional alternative for an extra fee to come with you, while others may include that in their fly fishing packages. Either way, it is the best for you to ask for a local guide who is more experienced in that region and it is really worth paying more to increase you success.
