Bring good luck and your sense of adventure when you set out on a guided fly fishing expedition to a quiet out-of-the-way location so remote you won't be standing elbow-to-elbow with dozens of anglers but be surrounded by picturesque serenity. Ideal for those 12 and older, the excursion includes waders and fishing gear, beverages and a shore lunch. The adventure begins when you meet your guide who knows all the best fishing spots. Based on the day's conditions, you'll head to a secluded locale where the fish are abundant. Once you arrive at the Tongass National Forest, you'll disembark and hike through the woods to the river, wade out into the water and cast your fly line in hopes of catching the "big one." A relaxing lunch by the river adds to the day's excitement.

Special Notes:

Minimum age is 12 years and participants must sign a waiver and be in good physical condition. Please remember you are purchasing the opportunity to catch fish, not a guarantee of doing so. Fishing is done on a catch-and-release basis. This tour operates in the Tongass National Forest under a Special Use Permit issued by the U.S. Forest Service. Not recommend for guests with mobility issues, knee, back, and hip problems. Wear sunglasses, tall socks and long comfortable pants, long sleeves and jacket.
