Full Day Fly Fishing Float Trips

Full days are roughly 8 hours. Beginning early in the morning with a quick breakfast including coffee, juice, bagels and muffins. Then its off to the river. Once launched we begin our first leg of the fishing journey. A 3 to 4 hour float leading up to lunch which consists of a delicious bagged lunch from a local deli or a gourmet streamside barbeque. (Streamside barbeque takes a little over an hour where a bagged lunch takes as little or long as you desire.) Guests that opt for the Streamside barbeque may feel free to continue fishing, take a swim or just relax and take in the scenery. At the conclusion of lunch we will relaunch and continue on down river, fishing for 3 to 4 more hours until takeout. 

Full Day (roughly 8 hours) - $500
Includes breakfast and your choice of deli bagged lunch or Streamside Barbecue ($25 additional for BBQ)
