BEAUTY OF SUNSET COUNTRY

The beautiful thing about Sunset Country is there are fly-in options for practically every game fish we offer here. Whether you want to target bass, pursue some giant lakers, perhaps try hunting for muskies or even chase big northern pike, there are several options for you.

Some of these options include all of the species listed above! But for the sake of bass anglers, we’re going to focus our attention to fly-in bass fishing in this article.

BACK TO BASS 

Sunset Country isn’t exactly known for crowds, or as some anglers would put it, “combat fishing.” We’re more known for our abundance of freshwater and not nearly enough anglers to clutter it up. However, you can take your escape to the next level.

If you’re a diehard bass angler who doesn’t want to deal with boat launches or traffic on the water, period, we have a solution for you. And it just so happens to be a trip of a lifetime.

Below, we have organized the fly-in lodges and outposts by their base, not their outpost location. If lakes include largemouth, it is noted in the description.
