Just a note on guide gratuities:
A gratuity (tip) is tradition in the fly fishing world. "A
good ghillie gets a "tip" at the end of a good day fishing".
The guidelines for the "tip" is between 15 to 25 percent
or more per day. Remember a gratuity is for good service and guiding
skill, not piles of fish!
Reschedules and Cancellations:
A $100 deposit is required to hold your preferred
(Booked) Date. This deposit will only be refunded if the trip
is canceled more than 30 days before the trip or if the trip is
rebooked.
On occasion, river conditions change and make rivers unfishable
and trips may need to be rescheduled. If this occurs you will be
contacted by your guide. Cancellations will be handled on a per
trip basis; contact Chad Betts at
