Booking a Fishing Trip
A 50% deposit is required when a trip is booked (fully refundable if cancelled at least 72 hours or 3 days prior to your trip date, otherwise a $50 cancellation fee is assessed). The balance is due on your trip date. We will notify you if weather or water conditions require cancellation or rescheduling of your trip. In such case a full refund will be made if other arrangements cannot be made to your satisfaction. Max 2 persons per guide.  We specialize in fly fishing trips, but can cater to spin and baitcast fisherman as well.

A 15% percent discount is given if two or more days are booked consecutively. 

Our schedules are very flexible to work around the times that you want to fish and then match the times based on the best fishing hours.  The rates and hours listed here are to give you a starting point and then we can customize the times to fit your needs with the current fishing conditions.  So if the fish decide to turn on the last minute or you decide you want to fish longer, lets keep fishing!  All Day means sunrise to sunset or however long you can last.
