THE GEAR

Tackle, rods and licenses included

All charters include complimentary fly and spin fishing rods, hand‑tied flies and lures and all terminal tackle, plus the trip provides fishing licenses and an iced cooler with bottled water so you can focus on fishing.

THE GROUP

Built for pairs (third angler optional)

The base price covers up to two anglers; a third angler can be accommodated for an additional cost, making the trip ideal for couples or two‑person teams but flexible for a small extra guest.

THE LOGISTICS

Anglers should bring their own lunch and small personal items; sunscreen in lotion form only is requested, polarized sunglasses (amber recommended), a billed cap and light weather gear are advised. The operator stocks a large cooler, so do not bring your own.
