About Your Trip

Step into the river with Tyler and his team for a true hands-on fly fishing experience. These private walk and wade trips put you directly in the water, working upstream through clear runs, riffles, and pools where trophy trout and smallmouth hold.

Whether you’re new to fly fishing or looking to level up your skills, your guide will teach you how to read water, approach fish with stealth, and present flies the right way. You’ll
cover productive water on foot, learning techniques like nymphing, dry fly fishing, and streamer presentations along the way.

What You’ll Target

Depending on the season and conditions, you may encounter:
- Rainbow Trout
- Steelhead
- Smallmouth Bass

Each species offers a different challenge, from technical presentations for trout to explosive strikes from smallmouth in moving water.

Gear & Guidance

All fly rods, reels, and flies are provided. Your guide will help with rigging, casting tips, fly selection, and reading the river so you can focus on fishing and improving throughout the day.

What to Bring

Waders or appropriate wet-wading gear, good footwear for slippery rocks, polarized sunglasses, snacks, drinks, and weather-appropriate clothing.

These trips are active, engaging, and ideal for anglers who want a more immersive fishing experience while learning skills that carry over long after the trip ends.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.
Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!
In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.
Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
