Who We Are |
We have considered the Bahamas a second home for more than 30 years, and have always been dedicated to developing and working with the best fly fishing guides worldwide. Since selling our fly fishing company, Westbank Anglers, in 2002, we've been on many adventures, including running fly fishing and adventure travel businesses in Argentina and Chile, and continuing to explore the islands in greater depth, including the Turks and Caicos. Our newest venture, with a focus on the Bahamas, is our Luxury Adventure Travel Company; Tight Loop Travel. Passing on our intimate knowledge of the magnificent saltwater landscapes of the Bahamas is an ongoing pleasure.
Based in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, our team is dedicated to designing and customizing vacation itineraries to suit the individual needs of each of our guests.

Praise for THE BAHAMAS FLY-FISHING GUIDE
"THE BAHAMAS FLY-FISHING GUIDE is an instant bible. I can't imagine a more thorough guide for Bahamas-bound fly-fishing anglers. It tells you where to find the most fish, the biggest fish, and the best guides--it even spells out how to fish each spot on your own. And it's organized island-by-island, just the way you need it. I wish I'd had it twenty-five years ago!" -- Dick Brown, author of "Fly Fishing for Bonefish" and "Bonefish Fly Patterns." "I've fished the Bahamas for most of my fishing lifetime and now wonder how I ever did it without the help of the Vletas' new guide book. Here's a book that will make it easy for fly fishers to reach right out and feel the pulse of a fabulous fishing destination." -- Flip Pallot, author of "Memories, Mangroves & Magic" "A definitive text on the subject, with island-by-island descriptions of fishing locations complete with maps, guides, accommodations, other leisure activities, suggested tackle, and an excellent historical perspective...To embark on a fly-fishing trip without THE BAHAMAS FLY-FISHING GUIDE is to go naked!" -- R. P. Van Gytenbeek, editor in chief, "Fly Fishing is Salt Waters" magazine. The BFFG is out of stock - We apologize, our publishers have sold out of stock, and we have sold all our stock.
