Minipi Camps Web Log

Here’s a comprehensive review of the accommodations, the fishing and the guides at Minipi Camps. With pictures! And it’s written by one of America’s notable anglers, Ed Jaworowski of Temple Fork Outfitters. Ed is a well-respected fly-fishing writer, rod designer, and expert caster, author of “Troubleshooting the Cast,” a must-read book describing 32 common casting problems and their solutions.

His review of our Lodges can be found on the American Angling Gear Guide website.

You are required only to give your name, location, and email address —you have the right to keep your email address private. Please help us save our VRP.
