Tipping your Guide:
A tip (gratuity) is tradition in the fishing world. The gratuity is not included in the price of the trip. Please tip your guide at the end of the trip. A cash tip for the guide is preferred. The average tip is between 20-25% of the cost of the trip per day.

Your deposit will only be refunded if you cancel the trip more than 7 days prior to your reserved trip date. Deposits are non-refundable but may be applied towards a future trip at our discretion.
In the event that the river is not fishable due to changes in river conditions or weather we may need to reschedule or cancel. If this happens you will be contacted by your guide.
