2014 may be the last year there will be direct flights from Anchorage to Kamchatka. The flight that's been offered the last three years, hasn't proved profitable for the airline. If they are not profitable this year, the flight may no longer be an option. If this has been on your bucket list, and you're able... go in 2014.

Larry and his wife, Ethel, hosted trips to Rio Parismina Lodge for ten years in-a-row. Larry considered the lodge to be one of the best run lodges in the world. Choose between the Caribbean for abundant large tarpon, plus tuna and wahoo, or the Torteguero National Park jungle waterways and streams for snook, machaca, mojara and snapper. The lodge has four I.G.F.A. world records for snook. 
Rio Parismina Lodge employs 21' deep V-hull boats with center consoles, 140 h.p. Evinrude motors, marine radios, fish finders and English speaking guides. Two anglers per boat and guide.

"As my Uncle Larry faced the battle with cancer head-on, decisions had been made to begin taking his name off of various hosted dates on the calendar and replace them with mine. "Not Rio Parismina," he'd say, "I'm going to make that trip, keep my name on it!"  He lost his battle just two short months before one of his favorite-of-all hosted trips, Rio Parismina Lodge and Costa Rica tarpon..."

The last two years I've hosted baby tarpon fishing trips at Campeche, a wonderful historic city in Mexico. Campeche is located on the Gulf of Mexico, about six hours SW of Cancun. The people are very friendly, the city is clean, and the baby tarpon fishing is amazing. We stay at the Ocean View, a modern, air conditioned hotel that has a swimming pool, gym, free Wi-Fi and a hot fishermen's breakfast for us each day at 5:30 a.m. Following breakfast, we walk across the road, and get in the boats. 
Tarpon Town Anglers has five 23' panga-style boats with newer 60 to 75 h.p. motors, all in excellent condition.  We fish two anglers per boat and guide. It's best to use eight weight fly rods with floating lines...

   Hosted Trip Report:  Hooked on Panama Lodge - Panama 
January 25 - Feb. 1, 2014 - Eric and Suzi Schoenborn hosted  

The first two days were spent targeting sails, and we found them. Each day as we made our way offshore, we viewed schools of dolphin, turtles, baitfish, and jumping fish. Most days, we didn't have to wait long before a sailfish or dorado started chasing the topwater teasers or baits with an ensuing battle. Each boat rose between 4 to 8 sails daily, with eight sails and seven dorado being landed on the first day. Day two results were similar, as we chased fish in great ocean conditions. Several times we attempted to catch tuna as schools of baitfish and feeding birds indicated it was worth a try. We didn't connect. We found January to be a little early. I can't wait until Suzi and I host a trip next year (2015) during an April time slot when they should be plentiful...
