What Do I Need?

Needed equipment is fly rod, tackle, and waders. For a professional suggestion of appropriate rod, tackle and gear for North Fork fly fishing, please see Tom Ziegler’s
“Tackle Recommendations for the North Fork River.”
For anglers not quite properly prepared or equipped, we have the appropriate fly rods, tackle and gear fitted for the North Fork available for rent.
We also offer for sale custom tied flies for the North Fork River.
Other than that all you need is the desire to enjoy the trip. Our number one goal is to make your trip a memorable one. Streamside lunches and snacks are provided with all guided trips.
