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 (rod, reel, waders and boots), 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.

Quality gear, chosen because it earns its place on the river. This is gear that I have personally chosen to give you the best experience.
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.
