Misty Dhillon
Some journeys are best entrusted to someone who has walked the riverbank before you. Misty Dhillon grew up in the Himalayas of northern India, and for over thirty years he has pioneered fly fishing for the golden Mahseer, the powerful fish of these rivers that can top fifty pounds and is often called the tiger of the river.
A Life Shaped by the Himalayas
In 2011, Misty became India’s first certified casting instructor with Fly Fishers International. He also served as the Himalayan region’s representative for the International Game Fish Association. Those credentials mean something simple for you: whether you have cast a lifetime or never held a rod, you will be taught patiently, safely and well.
From the rivers of India to the valleys of Bhutan and Nepal, Misty has led expeditions through demanding country and hosted guests of every ability. He knows the water, the weather and the people who live beside it. That knowledge is why our own team on the ground can handle every detail, from the quietest riverside camp to the right guide for each guest.
Yet fishing is only part of the story. Misty believes fly fishing is an intentional practice for one’s overall well-being, and he designs each journey so everyone finds their own pace. One of you may spend dawn on the river while the other visits a temple, a market or a spa, and then you meet again for dinner with stories to share.
