Gink and Gasoline hosted fishing trips are a great way to make new friends and up your game on the water.

I put together several trips a year to fish with G&G readers and share some of the best water I know. They are more than great fishing trips, they are meetings of fun, like-minded anglers. A chance to share information, stories and our passion for fly fishing. I host these trips myself and am there to help you have the best trip possible.

There’s no catch, no hidden fees. You pay the same amount you’d pay to fish these location any day of the year. Want to know more about how the hosted trip program works? You can find all the details HERE.

The next two trips on the calendar are the famous South Andros Bonefish School and Deschutes Steelhead Camps. These are two of our most popular trips with anglers returning year after year. Don’t wait. Shoot me an email at hookups@ginkandgasoline.com for more info or to reserve your spot. I’m happy to help any way I can. It’s my job to put you on fish.

Deschutes river Steelhead Camp: September 12th-18th, 2016

This is the real deal. Run class four rapids in a jet sled, sleep under the stars on the banks of Oregon’s beautiful Deschutes River and swing flies to aggressive steelhead. Fish hard from sun up to sun down with a relaxing mid-day siesta. Tell fishing stories and go home feeling really alive. It doesn’t get any better.

The Deschutes is known for its eager summer run steelhead. It’s one of the best places anywhere for catching steelhead on floating lines and even dry flies. The canyon is beautiful and there’s lots of wildlife, including big horn sheep. It’s the kind of steelheading that spoils you.

My good friend Jeff Hickman of, Fish Thee Swing, runs this trip and he does it right. It’s deluxe tent camping with chef-prepared meals, roomy tents, comfy cots and even a shower. As rustic as you need, as comfortable as you like.

Not a Spey caster? This trip is definitely for you. Jeff is one of the best Spey instructors there is. He taught me, in fact. I took a good friend who did not Spey cast on this trip and in two hours Jeff had him holding his first wild steelhead, on a swung fly. You should have heard him whooping! This is truly one of the best steelhead trips I’ve ever been on. I highly recommend it.

No passport or expensive overseas flights needed. This trip is a real bargain. If steelhead is on your bucket list, or if you’re an experienced Spey angler looking for some good time on quality water, you can’t go wrong with this trip. We have a high guest return on this trip so there are only a few spots available. Shoot me an email if you’re interested.

Andros South Bonefish School / With father-son discount

This is the popular Gink and Gasoline Bonefish School at the Andros South Bonefish Lodge. It’s geared to get anglers new to the salt up and catching fish in a fun, supportive atmosphere. I do a bonefish 101 class the first night and work with anglers on request the rest of the week to polish your skills and expand your understanding of the game.

Are you an experienced angler? No worries, many of the folk who attend are. All the educational stuff is optional. You can come just to enjoy some good company and great fishing.

South Andros is an amazing fishery. It’s famous for a reason. Remote and un-pressured you’ll feel a thousand miles from anywhere, just an hour and a half flight from the U.S.  The fish are eager and aggressive, plentiful and sometimes down right huge. This is the real Bahamas and a trip you’ll never forget. No wonder so many folks join us year after year.

Take advantage of the father-son discount and bring your son or dad along for half price. That’s a deal you can’t beat.
