Hosted Trips - See 2008-2009 Schedule Below
Although the majority of our business is derived of bookings from private and individual parties, several times a year a member of our team will lead, or "host", a trip to various destinations. Many of our clients prefer to sign up for our hosted trips because we provide a sense of security and added professionalism to the adventure. Some of our hosted trips are to destinations that we have visited in the past, while others are a bit more speculative exploratory trips to new and exciting locations.
Our hosts act as liaison for the group and the lodge operator, make important group decisions, offer extra casting and fishing instruction, and generally see that things run smoothly and happily for the group. Our hosted trips are tons of fun and encourage folks to visit exotic destinations that they normally would not do on their own. Usually a hosted trip consists of 4-10 clients who join a group of anglers along with an employee of the shop. In addition to offering the presence of qualified first hand knowledge of the destination, hosted trips also provide a cohesive social environment for the group, making it an excellent opportunity for people to meet new friends and angling partners.
