Half Day trips run approximately 4.5 hours door-to-door. Full Day trips typically last 8–9 hours. Overnight trips extend the experience across multiple days, allowing more time on the water and a deeper connection to the surroundings.

Typically there are outhouses at the places where we launch and land our boats. If you need to go to the bathroom during the day it is no problem at all. We simply pull over in a nice private spot and you can avail yourself of the bushes. We carry toilet paper on the boats if you need it.

The boats are designed to hold two fishermen plus a guide. As a general rule, we ask that the total passenger weight stay under roughly 500 lbs. If you are three large men, then you will need two boats. The two boats can stay close together, have lunch together, switch passengers, etc.

Jackson Hole has a high desert climate. It is rare to have an entire day of rain. What is far more common is for some scattered rain showers to pass through the area. As long as you have a rain jacket you should be fine. Fishing is fairly weather proof, so we rarely cancel due to rain. If it seems it is going to storm all day, we can look into rescheduling your trip based on availability. One thing that is important to stress here is to pay no attention to the weather forecast. They have a very difficult time forecasting the weather here in the mountains. Most days during the summer, the Weather Channel forecast shows half a cloud with rain and a lightning bolt coming out of it. Most days during the summer it is sunny and gorgeous.

We rarely cancel for rain. In the event of severe weather, we may reschedule for safety. Our team monitors conditions closely and communicates any changes directly with you.

Your guides work hard and are very appreciative of any gratuity you wish to give them. This is, of course, not required but is a fairly standard practice. We typically offer the guideline to tip your guide as you would in a restaurant. 20% give or take based on your experience is the norm, but feel free to do whatever works best for you.
