Patrick Kissel –
On these trips all flies are included which is awesome because it can be difficult to bring every fly you need and this eliminates the stress of trying to go to your local shop and picking out a few hundred dollars of new flies to bring. They also have guide rods available for use and waders too. By all means if you have your own gear bring it, and if you have flies you want to try bring them but it is not necessary.
I was treated like a king this entire trip and I am excited to come back with a group and show them what fishing these rivers is all about!
