Our approach

How we guide a great day

  1. Plan Together — dates, goals, experience level, and any must-dos.
  2. Match the River — we pick the water based on flows, temps, bugs, and your style.
  3. Dial the Details — meeting time, licenses, gear, shuttles, and lunch (full-day).
  4. Coach on the Water — approachable instruction, reading water, casting, and fish care.
