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:
(Booked) Scheduled Date. This deposit will only be refunded if you cancel the trip more than 30 days before your preferred date. Deposits are non-refundable but may be applied towards a rescheduled trip at your guide’s discretion on a different date, if available.
On occasion, your guide may determine that changes in river conditions or weather have made rivers unfishable. If this occurs trips may need to be rescheduled or cancelled. In such cases, you will be contacted by your guide. Cancellations will be handled on a per trip basis.
