Do I need a fishing license?

Do I need to know how to fly fish?
No. We guide anglers of all skill levels. If this is your first-time fly fishing, we are happy to introduce you to this great sport. It's not as complicated as it looks. After some brief instructions from your guide, you will do fine. Our guides are extremely patient, and they are excellent teachers. Your success matters to us.
What should I bring?

- Fishing license.
- Cash to tip your guide.
- Excitement for a fun day!
What will my guide provide?

- Boats (for float trips).
- Boots and waders (for walk and wade trips).
- A helpful attitude and plenty of expertise.
Can I bring my own gear?
Sure, if you have your own gear like boots, waders, rods, reels, etc., you are welcome to use it. Feel free to rely on our guides for those details if that is easier for you.
What if there's bad weather?
Rain typically does not impede the fishing unless it is a torrential downpour. Your guide will make the determination if conditions are safe for fishing or not. We are happy to raincheck your trip or issue a full refund if your guide decides it's not safe.
What is the terrain like?
Most of the areas we fish are relatively easy to access, but some rivers have slick banks and rocks. If you have concerns about mobility, please chat with your guide. and we will make accommodations.
