FAQ
We cannot guarantee that you will catch fish. Fly fishing is very technical, and occasionally a first timer will catch a fish. Sometimes it takes multiple trips to make your first catch. It is all dependent on how quickly you pick up the skills, when you take your trip and the flies you use. We pay close attention to what’s currently biting, the “hot-spots” for the river and the flies that are working in any given season.
All necessary fishing gear, including flies, will be provided. We recommend bringing a camera, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, and raingear. Please wear comfortable shoes that won’t slip off and that you don’t mind getting wet or dirty.
