Fishing Patagonia - Chile

Speaker Steve Berry


Passion for fly fishing
Fly fishing has been Steve’s passion for over 25 years. He is a licensed State of Arizona fishing guide and has spent 20 years specializing in hosted trips. Although it wasn’t until his late 20’s when he first touched a fly rod, the path to learning and exploring so many aspects of fly fishing was like watching one of the many Fast and Furious movies.

Serving the fly fishing community
An Arizona native, Steve quickly became immersed in the Arizona fly fishing community by joining the Desert Fly Casters, becoming the president of the club in a few short years. Meeting helpful fly-fishing friends, it wasn’t long before he was working part-time in valley fly shops, speaking around the state, teaching schools and ultimately hosting group trips throughout the Southwest and around the world.

Next level experience
Moving on to the next level, Steve was a founding partner of Nomada Fly Fish and the hosted-trip business quickly boomed. Within three years, Steve had expanded his relationships with lodges, outfitters and guides around the world, taking clients to some of the best fly-fishing destinations. Unwilling to rest on success, using his experience from years of fly-fishing travel and establishing himself as a well-respected member of the fly-fishing industry, Destinations Fly Fish became a reality.

Destination now
Today as the Owner/Operator of Destinations Fly Fish, Steve continues to push fly-fishing travel to the next level. Clients always at the front of mind, Steve remains on the hunt for that next great trip location. When he is not hosting trips, you’ll find him teaching fly-fishing classes, doing speaking engagements, or helping at the local club or fly shop events. Taking the time to help teach fly fishing at Boy Scout camp every summer is a priority.
