fish with confidence

Not a tour. A fishing trip, done properly.

A Checkpoint hosted trip is a small group of serious anglers, hosted by Steve Raath, staying at a world-class lodge with its own expert guide team on the water every day.

These are significant trips, in cost, in distance, and in expectation. Steve joins every group to make sure you arrive prepared, confident, and ready to make the most of every day on the water.

Fly selection, casting preparation, what to expect from each species, how to read the tides, the kind of insider knowledge that only comes from years guiding these epic destinations.
