Lunches are provided on all full day trips. We work with Winona’s Restaurant and Bakery here in town, a favorite local lunch spot. We are more then happy to order lunches on half-day trips, the cost is $13 dollars per lunch.
Will the trip be cancelled if the weather is bad?
We fish in all weather. The only reason we will cancel a trip due to weather is if it’s unsafe to be on the water. Sometimes the best fishing is on rainy or snowy days!
How many people per guide?
We limit it to three people per guide, but we highly recommend getting two guides for three people. Three experienced fisherman are often fine with just one guide, but it will be a much better trip for novices if they hire two guides for three fisherman.
What is expected for gratuity to the guide?
This is really up to you. If you feel the guide worked hard and provided a pleasurable experience, tip him accordingly. If not, please notify the shop staff and we will do everything we can to make sure you next experience is better!
