Home Forums Fishing Flyfishing Booking agents?

Who uses them and which agencies do you trust? We own a fly in lodge in the Yukon Territory and are considering using a booking agent to help us fill a few spots each season. We have been in business for over 30-years now and most of our bookings are repeat clients so we only need a few new booking each season. The problem is that the sports show circuit and magazine advertising is very expensive when you are only looking for a few new bookings each year. Our flights alone just to get to a few shows each winter can easily run us 6-8 thousand dollars. Thanks in advance.

I'm no help I'm afraid. I have looked at a few outfitters at the big Harrisburg PA show but understand the cost of getting to those levels of shows.

Do you have a good website? The couple times I've been able to get away and go to a place to fish it's mostly been searching on the web.

Thanks Pugs, we havent done the Harrisburg show but hear it is a good one. We have done just about every fly fishing show out there and have had gotten good results, we are just trying to cut travel / time costs.

Your point about websites is a good one, and also one I cant really answer. Im pretty much illiterate when it comes to websites so I had a company build one for us. They do all of the updates as well. Our lodge is Grizzly Creek Lodge, would love any feedback on the website if you have time to look.

It's a good looking website (assuming https://grizzlycreeklodge.com/ is you) . Perhaps spend some of your ad budget on getting on places like here so your hit count/popularity goes up in search results?

Yes thats us. Good advice on the add budget, thanks.
