Each summer we host a trek of the Ram River canyon. The idea is to share the canyon we know and love with other like minded people. It's not simply a bang 'em up catch-a-thon. As we host 4 anglers in joint camping and fly fishing, we focus on the enjoyment of the fishing. Sure, some catch a ton of cutthroat trout. Some of the cutts are big, but most will be 6 to 18". The focus is on the hike of the canyon, getting around several sets of waterfalls, setting up some great photos and video, and the usually seen bighorn sheep that line the canyon walls. Guests bring their own food and gear, we provide the hike & fly fishing guiding and share our experiences on the Ram R. We'll ensure that everyone in the group is introduced well in advance and that communication of joint efforts in packing make for an ideal 4 day hiking trip.

We're adding a new offering for 2012. We float a relatively quiet river for 4 days, camping along the way. Featured is a parkland setting and a large river with a good population of browns. Most browns will be in the 12 to 22" mark, though there are some considerably larger. We'll also be targeting this river in mid August to capitalize on the hopper season and a smattering of stoneflies, caddis, and mayflies. Streamer fishing will also be quite effective.

• We limit this trip to 2 boats and 2 anglers per guide boat. You can book one or all spots, but we must have a group of 4 total

• Price is $1495 per guest

• Price includes all meals, guided fly fishing, camp set up

• Dave & Amelia Jensen joint host.

• Dates - late August & late Sept, 2012.

There is a fine line of water conditions on our favorite cutthroat canyon float. This 3 day trip offers 2 anglers opportunity to float a seldom floated reach of river with cutthroat trout and bull trout. The plan is for late June to early July, you & a friend join Dave for 3 days and 2 nights of rafting, camping, and fly fishing. Catch rates will be moderately good, the feel being a fun trip in a remote, wilderness box canyon setting.

This trip does not have set dates as it is up to you. Keep in mind that it has to be the last week of June or early July.

• Price $1500 per person

• Price includes all meals, guided fly fishing, camp set up

We've steered away from this trip the past few springs as our personal schedules have been quite full - catching up on things after getting home from wintering in New Zealand. In 2012, we will once again host a Bull Trout Safari late April to enjoy the beautiful mountain scenery and generally low, clear mountain waters of our favorite bull trout river. This 2 day trip focuses as an early get away to enjoy a beautiful mountain valley and bull trout still holding in their wintering pools.

For this year's trip we will only host 2 or 4 people on the trip. We will not set dates, we'll work with you to set up a trip that works for your schedule. Late April - early May is typically best.

Price $795 pp/ based on 2 or 4.
