Heli Fishing

helicopter fishingThe Angling Odyssey

Heli-Fishing is for anyone who wants to participate in the most unbelievable spin fishing or fly fishing adventure of a lifetime. No longer is anyone "retired" from fishing. Mountains are mere hurdles for your magic carpet. You can fly out of the rain, and, if the bite goes off, you simply move to another fishing paradise, more beautiful and productive than the one you just left. Each river is alive with fish and there are dozens of rivers to choose from as your pilot/guide takes you throughout 30,000 square miles, from sea level up to seven thousand feet. Depending on angler's skill, each day can see you catching (and releasing) upwards of 20 fish.
