Which trip

Half day, full day or a lesson?

Half day

Four hours. Enough to fish a couple of good runs properly. Best if you already have some experience, or if you want to try a fishery before committing a whole day to it.

Full day

Seven to eight hours. The most water, the most fish and by a wide margin the most teaching time. If you are new to centerpin or to Euro nymphing, this is the one that changes how you fish.

Private lesson

Three hours built around one problem. Cheapest way to fix a specific thing — a cast that collapses, a drift that drags, takes you cannot feel.

Rates questions

Is the rate per person or per trip?

Per trip. The rate covers the trip for the number of anglers shown, so two anglers at $625 for a half day is $625 total, not each.

Why are steelhead, trout and carp the same price?

Because it keeps the decision simple. You pick the fishery that suits the date and what you want to learn, rather than picking the cheaper one.

What is included?

Rods, reels, centerpin tackle, flies, terminal tackle, leaders, tippet, instruction, photos, river planning and a safety briefing. You bring a licence, clothing, food and water.

How do I pay the deposit?

Payment details are arranged when your date is confirmed.

Do you take three anglers?

Yes — a third angler is $100 on top of the two-angler rate. Beyond three, the teaching gets thin and the river gets crowded, so three is the limit.
