Solitude over crowds. Dry-fly obsession. Patient, world-class guides. With 25+ years of experience, we take you off the beaten path for days you’ll remember long after your trip.
We seek out solitude. You’ll learn, laugh, and fish hard with a team that cares more about your day than your numbers.
We only work with the best guides and captains that can be found. Not only are our guides veteran savvy anglers, they also display hard work, ethics, patience, humor, and positive attitudes on the water, no matter the skill level of the angler.
We pride ourselves on focusing on water that is off the beaten path, secret honey holes that still actually remain secret. Empty boat ramps open runs and unpressured fish simply make for a better day.
Take it however you would like… The more fun you’re having the more fish you will catch. It’s the whole point. We have fun and It’s that simple.
“I was in John Wilcox's boat for his first paid guide trip. That was 2003. I was ‘stuck’ with him. And I've been stuck ever since. Scores of trips, full of big fish, great food, and inspired conversations. This man loves what he does and where he does it!”
