Catch-and-release on every wild stretch, barbless hooks only. A wild fish caught once should still be here to be caught again next season, and barbless hooks come out clean in under ten seconds.
Fair chase, always. That means no crowding an animal, no pushing past a legal or ethical range to force a shot, and no technology or tactic that turns the pursuit into a certainty. If the animal has no fair chance, we do not take it.
Legal limits are a ceiling, not a target. We do not fish or hunt to the edge of the law and call it sport - we stop well short of it as a matter of course, every trip.
We call a trip for weather or water conditions, not for convenience. If the river is blown out or the front is dangerous, we would rather refund you in full than run a bad and possibly unsafe day for the sake of not cancelling.
The practical layer
Two anglers standard, three maximum on a full-day float - the boat does not fit a fourth, full stop.
We provide the boat, the guiding, the local knowledge, and help navigating the license or tag you need. We do not provide or sell rods, waders, or firearms - bring your own gear or ask and we will tell you what to rent elsewhere.
You must hold a valid state fishing or hunting license and any required tag before the date of your trip. We can point you to where to get one, but we cannot get it for you.
A deposit holds your date. It is applied to the trip cost and is fully refundable if we are the ones who call the trip for weather.
If we cancel for weather or water conditions, you are refunded in full - that cost is ours to eat, not yours. If you cancel with less than 48 hours notice, the deposit is not refundable.
