Van Horssen Group » 2007

• Sunday, September 16th - Friday, September 21st
• Idaho, Montana & Wyoming

Experience world class fly fishing, supercars, lodging, cuisine, and camaraderie all on the same trip.

At first glance a peculiar combination, but supercars and fly fishing are a perfect fit. Some of the best fly fishing and scenic driving is located in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming, the setting for Van Horssen Group’s third annual Fish & Drive Tour. This tour gives a lucky few the chance to experience these great destinations while adding the incomparable sensation of driving supercars on roads that seem practically made for them.

Incredible fishing and driving is the heart of this trip, but the extras make it unforgettable. From distinctive luxury accommodations and exquisite cuisine to charismatic yet professional guides and support staff, each participant on this tour will find their needs met and their expectations exceeded. For those that would rather not fish, there are a variety of other activities and destinations that can be arranged so everyone enjoys the ride.

The number of participants is limited to ensure a small, fun group and enjoyable camaraderie. This is a great opportunity for a group of friends or a parent/child team to experience the Rockies like never before.

World Class Fly Fishing
The Henry’s Fork of the Snake River is said to be one of the greatest fishing destinations in the world. Along with the Bighorn River, which has some of the highest numbers of trout per mile, and the waters around Cody, Wyoming, this tour will take you through the heart of America’s best fly fishing. Our experienced, professional guides know the waters like nobody else and will take you to the fish. Specific fishing spots can be arranged for all types of skill levels.

Incredible Cars, Scenic Roads
Imagine driving an Aston Martin, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Porsche through the spectacular countryside of Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. Journey through Yellowstone and witness the stunning landscapes found nowhere else. This is one of the few places in America where you can truly enjoy cars of this caliber on a variety of roads: long straight flats, tight mountain twisties and smooth sweepers. Some of the world’s greatest cars will be your modern day horse getting you from one great destination to the next.

Refined Lodging, Rustic Traditions
Henry’s Fork Lodge, listed in the book “1000 Places to See before You Die,” will be just one of the memorable lodges in which we stay. This lodge offers a rustic luxury and exquisite cuisine that has made it famous. The Bighorn River Resort serves up great views of “Big Sky Country” and a hospitality that make memories of the West linger. The character and charm of old west Cody is exciting and staying at the Chamberlin Inn reveals a casual elegance that Ernest Hemingway himself enjoyed.

• Wednesday, September 12th
• 8 a.m. - 12 p.m.

The Breakfast Drive to Tortilla Flat heads east on Highway 60 to Apache Junction, from there the road gets extremely twisty.

This is a great road and enjoyed best during the weekdays when there is no boat traffic.

Breakfast Drives give members a chance to have a lot of fun with the car in a short time while avoiding weekend warriors and Sunday drivers. These drives are a great business alternative to a round of golf or lunch meeting where participants have quality time experiencing some of the world’s greatest cars on incredible roads. All routes are planned in advance and tour support is provided including navigation aids and radios. These drives typically last 2-to-4 hours, are priced at a reduced rate and include breakfast.
