Booking
a Trip
We are located in Idaho
in the St. Joe National Forest on a special use permit from the
U.S. Forest Service. Vehicles are left at our base camp,
approximately 3 1/2 hours by car from Spokane, Washington or 2
1/2 hours from Missoula, Montana. The last ten miles are
a little "slow going," but any standard automobile can make the
trip quite safely. If you are flying, both Spokane and Missoula
have good airline schedules, and rental cars are available in
either city. We can aid you in lodging and transportation
planning, just let us know at the time of booking. Trips
begin at our base camp at 10 A.M. on the first day. We pack
out after lunch on the last day of the trip.

What to Bring
Clothing: Weather in
the mountains can vary greatly at any time of the year.
It can be short sleeve weather during the day and downright chilly
at night. Along with your other personal gear, we recommend
that you bring a good warm jacket and rain gear, just in case.
Leather boots are the best footwear for riding and hiking.
Also, fisherman bring your waders and felt soled wading boots.
It's a big help
to have your gear in canvas duffel bags or soft-sided luggage.
We suggest that you do not bring suitcases to be packed in.
Fishing gear and license.
Hard tubes to protect your fishing rods are highly recommended
.
Although the cabins
contain beds with mattresses, each person will need to bring a
sleeping bag.
We will send you a
complete list of recommended fly fishing equipment and flies at
the time of booking.
