On every trip
Non-negotiable standards
Always
Barbless hooks
Every hook is pinched before it hits the water: faster releases, less stress on fish.
Always
Fish stay wet
Minimal air time, wet hands and quick photos with the fish near the water.
Always
Rubber nets only
Gentler on the slime coat and better survival than knotted nylon.
Summer
Warm water protocols
Above 68°F we fish deeper, shaded water and mornings, and book half days only from July 20 to August 15.
Always
Leave no trace
We pack out all trash, respect private land and avoid spawning areas in spring and fall.
Always
Proper revival
Every fish is held upright in the current until it swims away on its own.
Beyond the boat

“These rivers gave me everything. A career I love, a life I’m proud of, and more beautiful moments than I could ever count. The least I can do is give them back in the same condition I found them — or better.”
