Book A Guided Fly Fishing Trip

We do all of our trip bookings and reservations over the phone so please feel free to call us at any time.

If you get an answering machine, we are probably out fishing. Please leave a message with your name, phone number and the best time we can contact you; we will call you back as soon as possible.

After You Book Your Trip

With the exception of the Bar X Bar Ranch, you must have a fishing license to fish at any of the locations where we go. We recommend that you buy your fishing license online, through one of the links below. You
can then print out a copy or, if you get you license with your mobile phone, you can just save it on the phone directly. If you prefer, you can buy your license "over the counter" at many locations in the area. Depending on which waters you are going to be fishing on your trip, it may be possible to buy a license on the way to the river. Make sure to let your guide know if
you were unable to buy your fishing license before the day of your trip.

Tip/Gratuity For Your Guide:

If you have a good day and your guide met your expectations, it is the standard custom to take care of them with a tip. They will really appreciate it! (see question 3 on the FAQ's page for more details).

What To Discuss With Your Guide:

At the beginning of your trip, there are a few things you should make sure your guide knows about. The better informed your guide is - the better your day will be. You should let your guide know what your experience and fitness levels are and if you have any special requests. This will enable your guide to better tailor your trip to be a perfect fit for you.

What To Bring With You:

There are a few personal items which we strongly recommend you consider bringing on
your fishing trip. They are important and will make your day much more enjoyable. Check with your guide for current weather conditions and appropriate dress for trip. Below is a checklist of some items for you to think about bringing with you:
