Fishing Trips
Why Travel With Me?
Because I’ve spent a lifetime doing this — not from the sidelines, but in the thick of it.
40+ years of guiding, teaching, and hosting
I know what makes a great trip — not just the fishing, but the people, the atmosphere, the rhythm of the week.
Deep knowledge of global destinations
I’ve fished, hosted, and worked with lodges around the world. I know which places deliver and which ones don’t.
A relaxed, honest approach
No overselling. No hype. Just genuine experiences in destinations that live up to expectations.
I’ll be fishing too, with you, not instead of you
After four decades, I’ve earned the right to enjoy it again. And I want to share that joy with other

A Quiet Word…
If you have the financial ability — and I know that’s not everyone — trips like these are worth doing at least once in your lifetime.
Not because they’re exotic. Not because they’re impressive. Not even because the fish are extraordinary (though they are).
But because of what they do to you.
There’s a kind of deep, quiet joy that settles into your bones out there. A reset. A clearing of the head. A reminder of who you are when the noise of everyday life finally falls away. It’s the sort of positive mental lift that no pension pot, no investment plan, no carefully tended spreadsheet can ever deliver.
This is the stuff that reaches right into your soul — the part of you that first picked up a rod, that still gets excited at the sight of a tailing fish, that knows the outdoors is where you feel most alive.
And if you’re anything like me, you’ll come home lighter, brighter, and carrying something you didn’t even realise you’d lost.
The Invitation
I’m not here to twist arms. I’m not here to sell dreams. The fishing speaks for itself.
But if you feel that quiet pull — that whisper of “maybe it’s time…” — then I’d be delighted to have you along.
Not as a client. Not as a student. But as a fellow angler rediscovering what fishing can do for the soul.

Trip Testimonials
An unforgettable experience!
Our fishing trip in Trinidad and Tobago was nothing short of amazing. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and the guides were incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. Whether it was reeling in a massive tarpon in Trinidad or stalking for bonefish and permits on the flats of Tobago, every moment felt like a true adventure. If you’re looking for the perfect mix of excitement and natural beauty, this is the place to be. I can’t wait to come back!”

We enjoyed each hour of fishing. Our guide in Tobago brought us very close to hook permits. Because of our no precise casting the very first day we did not hook one. But we had Baby Tarpon both in Tobago.
Trinidad was different - no flyfishing - but we would not like to miss this part of the trip. To fight strong and heavy fish is every‘s fisherman‘s dream. To get to this we had to accept the spinning gear as a compromise. Even a flyfishing hardliner and 150% flyfishing purist like Horst had very much fun fighting these big Tarpon and Jack Trevally on a spinning rod.
We are very certain: good guides decide if you catch fish or not. Both places we had fabulos guides. The way how they were hunting for fish was unbelievable! Both of them we accept immediatly, again.
Last point: The members of our party did well together. Couldn‘t be better!
Summary: Flats fishing with the fly is indispensable for all of your trips: This is Ian Gordon!!!
Big Tarpon on spinning gear is an additional highlight that can not be done with same success within 2 days on a fly rod.
It is very important for us to say thank you for the excellent organisation of this memorable trip and the inimitable way you took care of each of us.

The organisation was fantastic and I have no complaints about our flights, accommodation, meals and transfers. Well done Ian.
The flats fishing didn’t work for me but that was more to do with it being new to me, very windy conditions and I was out of my comfort zone. However, I loved the concept but on reflection, we should have been allowed to blind fish more while the other rod was spot fishing. I would do it again, but be better prepared for what is required, and ask to fish blind more often. This gives me the practice I need and keeps your rhythm. It is very exciting when you spot a Bone fish or have a Permit following your fly, I just needed more confidence so I can cope with that style of fishing. Great Villa, food, transfers and guides.
The Tarpon trip in Trinidad made the trip for me. Great Hotel, fantastic restaurant, high quality boat and very good guides. However, again with hindsight, while going for the big Tarpon was great fun, more smaller fish would have been better and easier on the muscles!
I would consider this again, but not this year.
Best of all was being there with you guys. Great company. Thank you.
Ian Sinclair
On reflection, a fantastic experience with a great group of fly fishing enthusiasts
That great expression - Fail to Plan - Plan to Fail - certainly applies here
The effort & preplanning that Ian put into this trip was incredible & meticulous
As I said, I have always believed that success comes to those who are prepared to go that extra mile - our host comes into that category
He researched the best time to go, the best guides, the correct rods - reels - flies
He helped us get the correct gear in terms of clothing etc
He took the time & trouble to help us with new casting techniques that us Spey casting anglers had little experience of
Nothing was too much trouble & that is Ian Gordon to a tee
Thank you, Ian for a memorable few days
