Rates & Services
Trips can be booked for any day between September and April, barring a few major holidays. Please contact me for availability and I will get back to you as soon as possible. If you would prefer please call me for an immediate answer. When looking into dates for trips I will be completely honest about conditions, recent trips and reports, and what you can really expect when you want to come. Keep in mind that with conditions changing daily it really can be completely different fishing one day to the next.
If you want a guided trip on short notice do not hesitate to call me! I might be available the day you are coming and I have booked trips less than 12 hours before a day of fishing.
Ice Fishing
I also guide anglers on the ice for Steelhead when and if the creeks freeze in the Winter. If you can't stand to not fish for Steelhead while waiting for a thaw take a trip with me where we will be drilling holes in the deeper holes (on safe ice) and jigging and floating various baits for Steelhead. I also utilize an underwater camera to locate the biggest packs of fish and get right on top of them. Double digit days can be had and it's an absolute blast to spend a day doing this. Please contact me to find out ice conditions and if this is a possibility this winter.
Fly Fishing
While I generally do not guide anglers who want to only fly fish I do encourage fly anglers to come along with me on a day when we can do both fly fishing and noodle rodding for Steelhead. If you are interested in strictly fly fishing please contact me and I will send you to the right guide for this as I still want you to have a great day on the streams even if it is with another guide. Keep in mind when I am not having you toss jigs and Flatfish lures I am often having you float a variety of fly patterns from my setups as this can offer a better and more precise drift than using a fly rod much of the time.
