A typical fishing day begins with breakfast at 8 AM. After a leisurely breakfast we will begin the fishing day. A typical fishing day is from 10 AM to 7 PM - a long day by any standard. Rods are split three to a boat/American guide. Depending on conditions, we will choose a stretch of river within an hour from camp. According to the water and individual interests, anglers will fish from either the boat or wade fish from the bank. On the bank the anglers can choose to spot fish or fish down and across with mice patterns. Most fishing is done with floating lines and skated flies with single or double handed rods. Gourmet lunches are prepared daily by your American guide. These lunches include homemade bread, grilled fish, pork or steak, a salad, side dish of potatoes or vegetables, and a variety of condiments.
