Availability & Rates

Most all guided fly fishing trips are booked in advance, some a year or more, and secured with a deposit.

Spring steelhead, fall salmon, fall steelhead and early summer streamer /dry fly trout fishing dates are the most sought after. For this reason, many dates are booked and secured 3-6+ months in advance.  Following confirmation of your date(s) and requested number of guides, the appropriate deposit is sent in and once received, your date(s) are solidified. 

Availability can change quickly and we always encourage a quick call or short email to check on open dates.

Up to 2 anglers per boat, unless scheduled differently in advance. 

See ***  below for details on 3 person trips.
