Sky Blue Outfitters has been hosting group trips for over 10 years to such places as Montana, Outer Banks, Idaho, Lake Placid, and Labrodor. We do several trips a year to Montana and or Idaho, and one “bucket list” trip. 2024 we are going to Saskatchewan, Belize, Montana and Idaho. A Redfish trip is in the planning stages.
Come join us and enjoy some relaxing fishing somewhere on a river or lake. We take all the worry out of where to sleep, meals, and guides to hire. We only go first class or not at all. So, scroll down the page to find out more about our hosted trips in 2024.

I booked the lodge well in advance to get the best dates, and to have the lodge just for our group. Your host will be Rick Nyles.
Lodge Report:
“Definitely the highlights of our 2022 season were the 3 northerns we boated over 50” including one taken on the fly. We also saw many fish over 45” and some of our guests got to the point where they didn’t even want to bother measuring the 40s. Looking forward to the 2023 season”.
