Rainbow Trout Fly Fishing Holidays

Enquire Now

Rainbows, or also know as Steelheads, or just Bows, are a species that lives and breeds in freshwater. These fish are found on a fairly worldwide basis in both as true wild fish or as stocked fish in man made fisheries. Our destinations are for only true wild fish populations, places where fly fishing anglers can target these wild fish. The largest specimens tend to be found at our Salmon destinations, as these fish follow the Salmon to their spawning beds to feast on rich Salmon eggs growing very fat. Rainbow Trout season ranges between June and September. Peak Steelhead Trout season is 21 July to 12 September.
