We’ve been working hard over the winter to refine our lodge and fishing program and are ready for an exciting season.
Most of our 2016 trip dates have been sold out for months however its never too late to inquire about current season availability.
Fishing highlights include:
The introduction of the new Able “Moocher” salmon fishing reels to our fully guided fishing program. These exceptional, custom reels will complement our inventory of the Islander “MR-2” across our entire fleet.
