Trip Details

After consulting with our Bushcraft and Fly Fishing leads, there are a few specific items you’ll need to secure before you head out. Please review the requirements below.

Bushcraft w/ Rick Stowe

To master the camp survival skills Rick has planned, every participant is required to bring a 2”–5” fixed-blade knife (sharpened).

Note: Please do not bring a folding pocket knife for these sessions; a fixed blade is necessary for safety and performance during bushcraft tasks.

Fly Fishing with Wesley Hodges

Wesley Hodges is the premier guide in the region, and while the team provides world-class expertise regardless of your experience level, you are responsible for your own "on-water" attire.

Required Gear:

• Waders & Boots: These are NOT provided.

• Pro Tip: Avoid neoprene. We recommend textile/dry waders, as we will be hiking along and through the river to reach the best "honey holes." Neoprene will likely cause you to overheat during the trek, even if it’s cold outside.

Recommended but Optional:

• Polarized Sunglasses: Essential for cutting glare and seeing fish through the water.

• Personal Gear: Wesley provides rods, reels, tackle, and nets, but you are welcome to bring your own if you prefer your personal setup.
