Your boat will be a Hyde Drifter that can comfortably sit 3 fishermen. Dan will oar while you take in the sights of the river or while fishing from the boat. There are two leg locks for those who would also like to fish while enjoying the drift. Wading or fishing from the boat, the float trip allows you to cover a lot of river and chase more fish!

Walk and Wade is a more intimate way of fishing and walking the river. If wading is your preferred method of finding fish, Dan can accommodate you. There is nothing Dan enjoys more than walking the river and hiking fisherman trails to find big fish.

While many tackle options are available, our preferred technique is fly fishing gear. Top notch gear will be provided and in most cases, flies tied by Dan himself. Dan is a willing and patient teacher, there is no wrong technique that helps us catch fish. We will be on the prowl, depending on season for Steelhead, Salmon, Trout, and Bass!

Capt. Dan also provides grilled lunch, (depending on weather) water, and snacks for full day trips and snacks and water for half day trips. Don’t forget to bring your fishing license.

Join Dan Nealy’s Fishing Buddies for a day of bliss and relaxation.
