2 hours · A little adventure together
Trout Adventure
A first fish. A proud grin. A story that gets told all the way home. This shorter outing is an easy way to enjoy trout fishing without taking up the whole day. Come on your own, with your partner, with a parent or child, or with a friend.
We help with the setup, explain what to do, and coach you along the way. Bring your questions, your curiosity, and the people you want to share it with.
Give yourself time to find your rhythm. With four hours on the water, there is more room to practice, ask questions, try techniques, and enjoy the experience together.
Make it a solo fishing day, a catch-up with friends, or a honeymoon memory. We adapt our guidance to your experience, from a patient introduction to pointers for anglers who already fish.
For those who would happily spend a little longer fishing. This extended trip gives you six hours to focus on trout, work on your approach, and pursue a memorable catch.
Already comfortable with a rod? Let us help with location choice and techniques suited to the conditions while you enjoy the fishing. Newer anglers who want a longer day are welcome, too.
Every day on the water is different. A trophy fish or catch is never guaranteed.
Each guided trip includes personal guidance, equipment, and instruction with spinning or spincast tackle. We fish from the bank or dock; these are not boat or fly-fishing trips.

Private lessons with Josh
You don’t have to know how. That’s why we’re here.
Maybe your kids keep asking you to take them fishing. Maybe your friends fish, and you would like to join them. Or maybe it is something you have always wanted to learn.
You don’t need any fishing experience to get started. Josh explains each step and gives you time to practice and ask questions. Learn at your own pace, with patient guidance along the way. No pressure. No judgment.
Tie on a hook.
Practice a fishing knot with Josh, learn how to attach your hook, and check your connection before you cast.
Choose and rig your bait.
Learn how to choose bait for the fishing area, put your setup together, and understand what you are using and why.
Learn to cast.
Get comfortable with the rod and reel, practice controlling your cast, and build confidence through repetition.
Read the surroundings.
Look at the water and what is around it. Learn which clues can help you recognize a promising place to fish.
Private lessons are designed for one or two people, with starter tackle to take home. Our goal is to help you leave with skills you can use on your next fishing day.
Private lessons are a separate paid offering. Contact us for lesson length, pricing, and availability.
If you already fish, you do not need to start at the beginning. Tell us what you enjoy and what you would like from your day. We will tailor our guidance and help you choose where and how to fish for the conditions.
Couples & honeymooners
A little time away. A memory together.
Trade a busy itinerary for time beside the water. Whether one of you fishes or neither of you has tried it, a private trip lets you share the experience at your own pace.
Families & friends
Bring your favorite people.
Small families, bigger gatherings, and friends catching up are welcome. Tell us the ages, experience levels, and needs in your group so we can help plan a comfortable outing.
Corporate & group outings
Meet somewhere better than a meeting room.
Spend time together outside the usual routine. Contact us with your dates and group size to discuss guide arrangements and a fishing outing that fits your people.
No. Beginners are welcome on our guided trips. If learning is your main goal, ask about a dedicated private lesson with Josh.
What should I bring?
Bring drinking water, sun protection, and clothing suited to the weather, along with comfortable shoes with good traction. Ask us about licenses, trout permits, and any trip-specific needs when planning your visit.
Where will we meet?
We will confirm your meeting point as part of planning your trip. Let us know about mobility needs, children in your group, or other considerations so we can discuss suitable access.
Can I come by myself or with a larger group?
Yes. The listed base price covers one or two guests. Additional guest rates are shown with each trip; contact us to confirm arrangements and availability for larger parties.
Included with your guided trip
We’ll clean and bag your catch.
