Be sure that you fully understand how a trip will run with an itinerary and all details. Find all cost involved too.
After you figure out where you want to go, you need to find out about the timing for that destination.
Time of year can be very important plus the moon phase and tides.
Then you need to get a deposit down about a year in advance to get a descent week at a popular, productive destination.
After the trip is set comes all the preparation.
Having exactly the right equipment is really important. No more, no less because there are freight limits to consider too.
Lastly and most important is your casting/fishing skills.
This is a huge limiting factor on fly fishing trips. Get a casting tuneup lesson and then try to use the equipment you are taking on the trip in a similar live situation.
Many of us are too busy to fish weekly or month locally so going on a serious "commando" fly fishing trip once a lifetime or even once a year will really make you life more exciting.
Let me know if you need any advice on planning a nice trip.
