Do I need any specific equipment?

No, everything you need for a comfortable and safe day on the water is provided. We offer high-quality waders, wading boots, rods, and accessories as part of the guiding cost. We also share clothing recommendations during our pre-trip planning.


Where will we go?

The fishing location depends on various factors, including your desired experience, fly-casting ability, physical fitness, and the weather conditions. Trent will determine the best spot based on these aspects.


Can we return to fish in the location we were guided?

Yes, you can return to the guided locations on your own. These are public rivers where you can practice the skills you learned. Remember to respect the area, practice catch-and-release, and allow the location to rest adequately.


Can we keep the fish we catch?

No, keeping fish for consumption or taxidermy is not permitted on our guided trips. We encourage catch-and-release angling to maintain and improve the trout population. For those who wish to keep their catch, consider fishing in nearby lakes or ponds that are regularly stocked.
