Who is best suited for this destination?
Anyone in reasonable shape with some fly fishing experience and a bit of self-sufficiency. Though some days are always better than others, the fishing is rarely difficult and there is no need to have a guide watching over your shoulders all day long. After having been introduced to the fishery, most anglers are fine about fishing with one or two other guests, and only occasionally, when venturing into a new area, do they ask one of the young guides for assistance. However, if you prefer being guided at all times, have someone tie all your knots, unhook your fish etc, this is not for you.
The fishing is on a walk-in basis, so to get the full benefit of all the possibilities, anglers should be reasonably fit. The terrain is easy to hike but you should be prepared to cover a total of four to eight miles on most days.
What is a typical day like?
Get up around 7.00 when breakfast is served, make your own sandwiches after breakfast, get in your fishing clothes and head upriver whenever you feel like it.
You can fish the main river, hike up the side creek or coordinate a trip with one of the guides and some other guests to the upper river. In that case, the guide will ferry you across the lake, saving you two hours of hiking! All options are yours to explore over the course of the week.
Head back for dinner somewhere between 6 and 7 PM, unless you choose to fish a little longer. Most guests will also go out once or twice during the week for some evening, or even night fishing. And then sleep in until late the next day. It’s an easy-going and flexible schedule as there is light enough to fish 20-24 hours a day, depending on the season.
