Guided Trips
We offer wade trips on local waters including First Fork Sinnemahoning Creek, Pine Creek, Kettle Creek, and Clarion River as well as many of the smaller, Class A wild trout tributaries of each waterway. We are passionate about the streams and rivers we fish! Every year, we spend countless days on the water and have firsthand knowledge of what’s hatching and where to go for the best experience that particular day.
Booking a wade trip with us is a full fly fishing experience tailored to your skill level. Prior to the trip, we will discuss goals and objectives for your time on the water. We excel in teaching others how to become better anglers, whether it’s using Euro nymphing techniques, indicators, streamers, or dry fly tactics.
Day trip, full day:
$495 for a minimum of 8 hours on the water.
Day trips generally start at 8:00 AM unless a different time is agreed upon ahead of time. We won’t end the day until you’re ready to leave the water, even if it means staying until dark to fish the evening hatch. We feel this is what separates us from many other guides! You’re not just getting eight hours on the water and calling it a day. Many times, our day trips end up being 10-12 hours on the water. We are truly flexible with our day trips and willing to work overtime to make sure you end the day feeling satisfied and like you achieved your goal. If you’d like shorter days, drop us a line and we can adjust the price of our day trips to suit your needs.
Lunch and drinks are provided for all full day trips.
Day trip, half day:
$325 for a minimum of 4 hours on the water.
This is a great option if you’re looking to fish over an evening hatch and improve your dry fly skills. We provide drinks and snacks (granola bars, fruit, etc.) for half-day trips, but lunch is on your own.
As with our full day trips, we are flexible with hours and will work hard to help you accomplish your goals of learning new skills, catching more fish, and having an enjoyable day on the water.
