What you will need

Clothing

Wear natural or neutral colours, or camo-style clothing. Long-sleeved shirt and long pants are essential. Bring sunscreen, a hat, and polarised sunglasses.

GEAR OR BRING YOUR OWN

If you have your own gear, a #4wt to #6wt rod will cover most situations depending on the waterway. If you don't own a thing, just let us know — absolutely everything will be supplied on the day.

Bring your own

You're welcome to bring your own rod, reel, waders, boots, or favourite flies if you prefer. Just let us know ahead of time so we can make sure your setup matches the water we'll be fishing.

Wet wading

We have wet wading gear available for you to use in the warmer months if needed.

Mobility

Limited mobility? We can find good, safe, comfortable areas for you to fish. If you're the adventurous type, we can find more challenging water to tackle.

Food & drink

Food, drink, and snacks are supplied throughout the trip. Let us know beforehand if you have any specific dietary requirements.

Brands we fish

At the vice

Flies for every occasion.

A good share of what ends up on your tippet is tied here — nymphs, dries and streamers built for these rivers. The rest is bought in so there's always a pattern for whatever is coming off the water that morning.
