Everything Else to Know

Light is the name of the game... Big boots can spook fish. I wear water shoe like footwear, like booties almost. So, normal tennis shoes will get you by, but a solid grippy sole is recommended. Bring beer if you want it. I can offer nice snacks and good sandwiches for an extra $30. Rods, reels, tackle, and flies will be provided.

You'll need to buy a fishing license before getting out there. Find out more about licenses here.

We use a cashless autopay system. We'll send you a boarding pass, and on the day of the trip, your guide will scan your boarding pass to automatically transfer the remaining balance. The only cash needed is to tip your guide (we recommend 20%).

The deposit for this trip is non-refundable except for weather-related cancellations. Day-of cancellations and no-shows will be charged the full balance of the trip to their card.

In the event of inclement weather you'll be covered by out 100% Weather Guarantee and will not lose your deposit.

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.
