After 14 years of guiding, we have decided to take the 2008 season off. No we are not closing down, just a small break for the family, and a little fishing of course!! We will continue to offer custom rods for those of you still looking for that perfect rod. Please feel free to contact us for any info on rods or even updated fishing conditions. We'll still be on the stream, so keep a look out for us! Good luck and tight lines on all your fishing adventures in 2008 and we'll see you in 2009!!
