Pickup location is generally at our take out. The anglers will leave their car, and a shuttle service will move the guide’s car the put-in downriver to the takeout. This will be finalized with the start time, and clients will receive communication the evening prior to their trip date.

Start time varies based on the type of trip, and is generally finalized the day before. If there are scheduling conflicts or requirements on our day of fishing (e.g. not arriving until 10.m., need to leave by 7p.m., etc.), please discuss this with your guide.

Tipping your guide is a standard practice in this industry. A good baseline for a trip that hit all the marks is 20%.
