The fish we will catch together will be all in the trout family. There are Cutthroat Trout, Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, Brook Trout, Mountain Whitefish, and even a few fabled Artic Greyling.

No matter the trip you take we will see plenty of wildlife. We typically see many different trout species, elk, bison, osprey, eagles, and hawks to name a few!

We exclusively practice catch and release on all of our trips. As stewards of the land, it would be bad practice to take wild fish out of their habitat potentially impacting generations to come. With nothing, but wild trout in our operating area we release all fish when legal.

We do not allow spin fishing on our trips. Its nothing against spin fishing, but our knowledge base is in fly fishing and it provides more opportunities in our area.
