Pack for the day

- Warm socks; send us your wader and boot sizes beforehand.
- Any personal medication, and snacks you like.
A few things to arrange.
Travel to the meeting point, lodging, fishing licenses and gratuities are not included. Check the current state rules and license requirements for the water and date you choose.
Tell us about dietary needs for a full day and any walking or balance concerns. We’ll discuss access before choosing a route.
Before we head out.
What happens if the river plan changes?
We check weather, flows and access before a trip. If conditions do not suit the plan, we discuss another stretch or a new date. If we cancel for conditions, you can reschedule or receive a full refund.
How far ahead should I request a day?
Allow at least one week for November trips and two to four weeks for summer dates. We confirm the river, meeting point, time and total before booking; a request does not hold a date.
Start with a half day.
Or tell us what you have in mind. We’ll choose the water together.
