For both trips, all proceeds will go to help Bonefish & Tarpon Trust conduct valuable research and education programs, ensuring that bonefish and tarpon will be on the flats for many years to come. An important part of BTT’s research includes collecting fin clippings for genetic analysis and tagging fish to learn more about their life cycle and migration patterns. Participating anglers will work closely with Aaron J. Adams, Ph.D., Director of Operations and Research, Bonefish & Tarpon Trust. You will help conduct valuable research while at the same time enjoying a fantastic bonefishing vacation. We chose El Pescador Lodge because it is the perfect place to experience quality bonefishing at this time of year and there is something for everyone in the family to enjoy.

To make the experience even more fun, Orvis will provide each angler with a brand new Helios rod and Battenkill Large Arbor reel to help them catch as many “research subjects” as possible. Anglers will be paired up and rotated, so even if your travel companion doesn’t fish, you will still be able to enjoy the company of fellow anglers. Your non-angling companion will be included in all of the special events, including the welcome reception and farewell dinner, and there is plenty for them to do while you are fishing. This six night event includes five full days of activities with four days of guided fishing. The first full day consists of educational seminars and fly fishing workshops. The next four days will be spent on the water fishing with professional local guides. Throughout the entire event, anglers will be learning new flats fishing techniques and strategies while participating in valuable research.
